Dr. King Would Have Been Upset At The 2011 Golden Globes

ARTICLE FROM accesshollywood.com (Full story click here)

After I watched our Seattle Seahawks get beat 35-24 by the Chicago Bears (details at “Sports Inner City Online” link to site below) and watched the Jets-N.E. game also, I watched the red carpet broadcast of the Golden Globes hosted by Ryan Seacreast.

I was very disaapointed in what I saw readers. What I saw was no African American men being interviewed and only two African American female (Vanessa Williams and Halle Berry). The question is why?

Was Denzel Washington at the event? Was Lawrence Fishburne at the event? Or other prominent African American actors or actresses at the Golden Globes? If so, how come Seacreast did not interview them?

It was like African Americans are not in Hollywood making movies. It was amazing. Then I watched the Golden Globes show and it was the same.

Only former guest on “Music Inner City TV” LL Cool J, Vanessa Williams and another black actor were presenters. Halle Berry was nominated but she did not win.

I am a fan of Hollywood and Hollywood movies. But I was disappointed in watching the Globes coverage on E and on NBC.

I think the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King would not be happy if he watched the almost total exclusion of minorities in the Golden Globes coverage.    Gordon Curvey
