Denzel Washington and Halle Berry made history Sunday with Academy Award wins, and for many, it was a sweet victory, long past due. Nonetheless, minority groups say diversity must extend beyond Hollywood’s glamour night—and include other groups such as Asians, Hispanics and American Indians.
"If this is a sign that Hollywood is finally ready to give opportunity and judge performance based on skill and not on skin color, then it is a good thing," said Kweisi Mfume, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "However, if this proves to be a momentary flash in a long history of neglect, then Hollywood has failed to learn the real meaning of equality."
In 1939, when Hattie McDaniel became the first African-American actor to win an Oscar for Gone with the Wind, it was a bittersweet victory. McDaniel’s role was blasted by progressive African-American groups, and she was limited for much of the rest of her career in similar, stereotyped roles.
Now Washington has won for his part as Alonzo Harris in the violent police thriller Training Day, playing a talented but corrupt narcotics detective who bullies his narcotics squad trainee while ruling the roost in a Los Angeles battle zone. Berry beat the field for her steamy part in Monster’s Ball as Leticia Musgrove, a Southern mother doubly bereaved—by the execution of her husband and the car-accident death of her son.
Both movies are frank, verbally profane and violent. They show things unshowable in the time of Gone with the Wind or even 20 or 30 years later.
But mostly, they showed that African-Americans could be portrayed onscreen as complex human beings— part good, part bad—rather than the bigot-fodder of decades ago: the cardboard villains, comical personas or long-suffering saints and mammies of Hollywood’s Golden Age. That battle, at least onscreen, was settled long ago. But this year’s double Oscar seals the contract.
Nonetheless, some organizations say minorities will have power in front of the camera only when there is more minority representation behind the scenes as directors, writers and producers.
"I don’t recall seeing any Asian-Americans, women or men, being recognized and not too many Latin Americans," Washington said, "So there is still a lot of work(to be done)." [br] According to the author, the double Oscar this year
选项
A、triggers the battle on racism in film industry.
B、helps settle the issue of racism in film industry.
C、verifies the equality between races in film industry.
D、discloses the inequality between races in film industry.
答案
C
解析
根据题干中的double Oscar定位到第6段最后一句。该句中的seal the contract字面意思为“在合同上盖章”,引申为“确认”的意思,该句和上一句结合起来,表明这一次的double Oscar“证明”了That battle...was settled(电影圈种族之间的问题很早以前就已经解决了),现在各种族已平等,可见,本题应选C。另外,既然问题已经解决了,A中的trigger和B中的help settle就不对了。
