Halle Berry To Be Honored With Leadership Award
Halle Berry is set to receive the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award next month at The Hollywood Reporter's 18th annual Women in Entertainment breakfast. This award recognizes groundbreaking contributions to the entertainment industry. Wow, I bet she's thrilled.
"The complex role that Halle Berry plays in life as a successful, versatile entertainment professional who is committed to furthering the well-being of others, especially minorities, is as inspiring as are her film roles," THR editor Elizabeth Guider said. "The recognition is also wonderfully fitting in a year in which diversity has been embraced and rewarded at the highest levels of our government and culture."
Hilary Swank will be the keynote speaker at the breakfast.
A few other actresses who've won the award: Barbara Walters, Meryl Streep, Jodie Foster and Glenn Close. Impressive company to be in, right?

I really like Halle, but I don't think this award is fitting.
Why cant she win this award? Im sure if it was Angelina Jolie some of you would be jumping for joy. I believe Halle won the award because of her work with battered women. She does a lot of great work with charities that people dont know about and like it or not she has been a trailblazer in that business when it comes to her work.
