"Monster's Ball" follows a corrections officer who becomes entangled with a woman who is secretly the widow of a man he had executed. Though "Monster's Ball" featured some heavy-hitters—Billy Bob Thornton, Peter Boyle, Heath Ledger, and Mos Def among them—Berry's performance as the widow is considered among her very best. Not only did she win the SAG award, but she became the first woman of color to get an Academy Award for Best Actress.
