In this year's Oscars there are two blacks up for awards. Taraj P. Henson for her role as Queenie in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Viola Davis for her role as Mrs. Miller in Doubt. They're both up for Best Supporting Actress which means at best we can only get one. Taraj P. Henson is a fan favorite, haven starred in black films such as John Singleton's Baby Boy and Kasi Lemmon's Talk to Me. Unfortunately, I have to root for Viola Davis. Not only is she a former Tony winner, but she holds her own against Meryl Streep in a movie full of supreme actor starpower. Basically she's our only hope to take down Penelope Cruz. Check out the clips below and tell me what you think.

I haven't seen Doubt yet but I immensely enjoy listening to Viola's interviews. I saw her on Tavis Smiley and was really impressed. Taraji had some nice interviews too. No matter who wins, I wish them all the best!
