Day 1 of the Acting Black Blogathon is in the books, and I must say it was a rousing success. I read a number of great posts that gave me lots of insight into some of the great work done by black actors throughout cinematic history. Here are yesterday's entries:
- Dell on Movies - Denzel Washington in Malcolm X
- Rambling Film - 10 Great Performances by Black Actors
- CineMaven's Essays From the Couch - Duane Jones: Just a Man
- BNoirDetour - Sydney Poitier and the Cast of No Way Out
- Film Guy Reviews - Revisiting Set it Off
- Big Screen, Small Words - Gugu Mbatha-Raw in Belle
- A Film a Day - Lupita Nyong'o
- Tips From Chip - Hollywood Shuffle
- KG's Movie Rants - Laurence Fishburne in Hoodlum
- Grog's Movie Blogs - Don Cheadle in Boogie Nights
- Fernby Films - Morgan Freeman
Thanks to everyone who contributed!
Hopefully, as you're clicking through these, more great posts are going up today. I'll be back tomorrow to let you know what those were.
Great day, indeed! I read through a few of these already, but was going to wait till the project was completed before combing through them more thoroughly. Mine will be up on Wednesday :-D
ReplyDeleteI think you'll really enjoy what these bloggers have put together. I'm really looking forward to your post, of course.

DeleteWhat a great first day! It's amazing to be part of this.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you are. Hopefully it brings a few more eyeballs to your wonderful blog.
DeleteDarn it! I still need to get on this one. I finally finished that stupid paper but finding time to just watch something has proven more difficult than you'd think. I was finally getting my act together last month but now there's a lot going on in my life that's making it difficult.
ReplyDeleteI understand. I hope you can join us, but if not I get it. Life happens to all of us.
DeleteHey Dell! Sorry I'm late to this. I'd love to still participate and write something about Wesley Snipes, I just can't do it by tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have you. Just put something together as soon as you can and I will revise the final recap. Thanks!
DeleteA great selection of artists covered in your blogathon Wendell. I appreciate being included. Now, where are my reading glasses...
