Congratulations to Mr. Jones!! He has had a long and distinguished career on Broadway in the “Great White Hope,” August Wilson’s “Fences” and most recently the revival of Tennessee Williams’ “Cat on Hot Tin Roof.” The Screen Actors’ Guild Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes his long list of signature performances in movies, including Star Wars’ “Darth Vader” and the film versin of “The Great White Hope.” He is a memorable actor.

Plan to see David Mamet’s “American Buffalo” on Broadway starring John Leguizamo and Cedric the Entertainer.

It’s about time they honored him and al of the great black actors. Cicely Tyson is another great black actress. James Earl Jones is a phenomonal actor. I love to hear him talk.

It’s about DAMN TIME!!! This is well overdue. They have been looking over this man for years and not showing any type of honor or praise. I’m glad they choose him not only because he deserves it but because society (white folks) always like to honor black folk when we are dead and gone like an “oh, by the way…” type of thing. Yes they’ve praised Sidney Poitier over and over and over again and thats great, but there other great actors besides him. Now is the time the honor our greats when they are living, not just Mr. Poitier, but other like Delroy Lendo, Avery Brooks, Charles Dutton and numerous other black actors who have done phenomenal works on film, broadway and in the communities as well. They are the ones who paved the way for our acting generation like Will Smith, Jaime Foxx and Don Cheadle to be as great as they are now. I just think we need to start showing a little more respect, stop focusing who has the most bling and start focusing on REAL TALENT.
