The winner of the 2001 Best Actress Academy Award joins Jada Pinkett Smith and Spike Lee in criticism of this year’s nominations.
Actress Halle Berry has described the lack of diversity in Hollywood as “heartbreaking”.
Her comments come amid a deepening race row over the dominance of white actors in this year’s Oscar nominations.
Not a single black, Asian or Hispanic performer has been put forward for a Best Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor or Supporting Actress Academy Award.
Ms Berry remains the only black woman to receive an Oscar for Best Actress, for her role in Monster’s Ball in 2001.
She said: “That win almost 15 years ago was iconic.
“I believed that in that moment, that when I said ‘The door tonight has been opened,’ I believed that with every bone in my body that this was going to incite change because this door, this barrier, had been broken.
“And to sit here almost 15 years later, and knowing that another woman of colour has not walked through that door, is heartbreaking.
