Future News Headline: Cheadle Gets Cheated

I’ve been reading a lot about Don Cheadle possibly playing the late Jazz master Miles Davis in an upcoming movie. I know Cheadle could play Davis. I wouldn’t doubt that he could nail that role better than any other actor out there. But Hollywood has a tendency of fucking Don Cheadle, and in a way that I don’t think Cheadle likes. Hotel Rwanda anyone?

I’m going to call it right here and now. Either Cheadle doesn’t get the role, or he does, but he still won’t win an Oscar. If I was Cheadle (sometimes I am) and I somehow won an Oscar, I’d use the same speech as Edward Norton does in 25th Hour. Yeah, you know what I’m talking about, alone, with the bathroom mirror.
