ot that any of these roles aren't Oscar-worthy, but here is what Halle Berry has been up to since the movie Monster's Ball made her the first African-American to win an Academy Award for Best Actress. She's played the white-maned meteorological marvel Storm in X2 and is in negotiations to portray her in a third X-Men film. She's also been in Vancouver starring in Catwoman, the long-talked-about feature-length film featuring the Batman villainess. She's been in talks to star in Jinx, a spin-off of her character from the James Bond film Die Another Day. And she lived in Montreal for a time while she starred in a good old-fashioned horror movie, the supernatural thriller Gothika. Berry admits some of the people around her wish she'd go the Masterpiece Theatre route. "They might feel that way," she told the press at the recent San Diego International Comic Convention, "but I've never looked at my career that way. "I've never thought 'Well, will it be Oscar-worthy?' As a woman of color, I've tried to find equality by whatever means, and I'm willing to go down that avenue. Oscar has helped, X-Men has helped, Bond has helped. There are no rules in my mind. I'm making my own way." |
