In 2013 there were plenty of films starring African-Americans with award-winning performances, but only a handful of them were tapped for recognition by The Oscars.  The most glaring omission was “Lee Daniels’ The Butler” from not only Best Picture consideration, but from individual accolades for stars Oprah Winfrey and Forest Whitaker.
