15 Great Black Performances Completely Overlooked By The Oscars
- By

Pam Grier, Jackie Brown
Grier broke down many barriers in Hollywood. She helped turn roles for black women from the help to kick-ass action heroines. She payed homage to her blaxplotation roles in films like Coffy and Foxy Brown with this film. A critically-acclaimed success – Robert Forster garnered an Oscar and Golden Globe nod for Best Supporting Actor, but Grier only received a Golden Globe nod for Best Actress – Musical or Comedy. Such a shame, it was the perfect time to honor a great actress making a comeback in a great performance.
