Like Best Actress at the Oscars, only one black performer has won Best Film Drama Actress at the Golden Globes. But that could change this year if Viola Davis (“Widows”) pulls off a victory.
The actress is currently in second place in our odds, behind just Glenn Close (“The Wife”), to join Whoopi Goldberg as the only black thespians to win this category; Goldberg took home the award for “The Color Purple” (1985).
A former nominee for “The Help” (2011), Davis would also be the second black actress to receive multiple nominations in the category following Halle Berry, who contended for “Monster’s Ball” (2001) and “Frankie and Alice” (2010). Davis, Berry and Goldberg are just three of eight black actresses who’ve been shortlisted in Best Film Drama Actress, along with Claudia McNeil, Diana Ross, Cicely Tyson, Gabourey Sidibe and Ruth Negga.
