Awards

I think that if you are a good actor or director you deserve to be recognized as such, and it is a good accomplisment in their career. I do not think they have to win an award to be considered a good actor by fans or fellow actors, but the nomination alone is an honor. Actors and directros continue to be admired with or without awards because of the quality of their work, that in my opinion is success in itself. Awards are not necessary to show the amount of success a black american actor or director has in the film industry, but it is an excellent achievement since it does not occur as often.
