Who will play Halle Berry?
In 2002, Halle Berry became the first African American woman to win an Oscar for Best Actress in the then 74 year history of the Academy Awards. Through sobs, she began her acceptance speech: "This moment is so much bigger than me. This moment is for Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne and Dihanne Carroll. It's for the women that stand beside me, Jada Pinkett, Angela Bassett, Vivica Fox, and it's for every nameless, faceless woman of color that now has a chance because this door tonight has been opened!" You must watch Ms. Berry's historic and very emotional speech here.
Tonight, the Democratic primary race is expected to end with final contests in Montana and South Dakota. Once over, the process will, of course, have decided which of two popular candidates - Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama - Democrats think is the best candidate to go head to head against Republican John McCain in November. But also exciting to many, the race will have determined which "first," could be the first "first" to run all the way to The White House, an African American man or a white woman.
So who do you think will make the political version of Halle Berry's acceptance speech? Hillary Clinton, as the first woman to win the presidential nomination of a major political party, or Barack Obama, as the first African American?
Tonight, we'll finally find out.
(We think. This race has been about to end many times before...)
