Beyonc said on Oscar’s red carpet Sunday: “It’s a wonderful year to be an African-American actor.”
If only they’d get the names right.

At Saturday’s Independent Spirit Awards — the indie Oscars — newcomer Shareeka Epps, the African-American who won best actress for “Half Nelson,” was called “Shakira” twice by presenter Felicity Huffman

“Oh, my name’s Shareeka by the way,” Epps said from the Spirit Awards stage.

At the end of the night, the unbearable Sarah Silverman, who hosted, said “Next year’s host will be Facility Hoffman.” Good one, Sarah.
