Winning an award for directing or acting in a film for an African American director or actor/actress must be a very momentous occasion.
It seems to get the cogs turning for other people in the movie industry to be more conscious about how to write and incorporate African Americans in films. In addition, African Americans can be given more agency in how they are portrayed in films. Because it is less common for an African American actor/actress or director to win awards compared to whites it makes the occasion more important and progressive to African Americans working in this business.
