Awards season is off to a great start for Teyana Taylor, who took home the Best Supporting Actress Golden Globe on Sunday night for her performance in One Battle After Another.

Rich Polk / Getty Images For context, Teyana's One Battle character is a revolutionary fighter who leads a militant leftist group called the French 75. She ends up welcoming a baby with fellow French 75 member Pat Calhoun (played by DiCaprio), though she quickly rejects domestic life to return to the fight.

Lockjaw (played by Sean Penn), a white nationalist in power who secretly obsesses over Black women. In the film's opening scene, we see Perfidia sexually humiliating Lockjaw before using her sexuality to her advantage to negotiate her freedom. (C) Warner Bros. / Courtesy Everett Collection Many people have questioned Perfidia's sexuality and morality, and Teyana actually addressed critiques that her character is "overly horny" during a new interview with Vanity Fair. "Do you realize the first thing we see of Perfidia is her having a gun to a guy's head and he calls her sweet thing? Are you - are we watching the same film?" she asked, adding, "Perfidia kind of dived into the, 'Oh, you think I'm hot? All right, bet. Cool if I get to still do what I'm doing, all I gotta do is show you a little titty or something.'" Taylor Hill / Getty Images Sexuality aside, internet users have continued to debate if Teyana's win reflects a pattern of Black women being awarded for perpetuating harmful or tired stereotypes in movie roles - namely when it comes to the Oscars. (C) Warner Bros. / Courtesy Everett Collection To be clear, while Oscar nominations haven't yet been released, Teyana is predicted to be nominated for Best Supporting Actress. And after her Golden Globes win, many think she could take home the iconic golden statuette. Only one Black woman has won the Best Actress Oscar: Halle Berry in 2002, for her emotionally taxing role in Monster's Ball as Leticia Musgrove, a working-class Black woman and single mother who faces several hardships throughout her life. (C)Lions Gate/Courtesy Everett Collection Halle's Oscar win has been deemed by many as controversial given the sexual nature of the role, and her character's relationship with a racist white man. In fact, fellow actor Angela Bassett once noted that she turned the role down because "it's such a stereotype about Black women and sexuality," while fans have continued to suggest that the film reinforces negative tropes about Black women. A few more Black women have won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, including Hattie McDaniel (the first Black person to win an Oscar at all), Whoopi Goldberg, Jennifer Hudson, Mo'Nique, Octavia Spencer, Lupita Nyong'o, Viola Davis, and Ariana DeBose. Gabriel Bouys / Getty Images Not all of these roles were rooted in trauma, so to speak, but many were: Hattie played enslaved housemaid Mammy in Gone with the Wind; Mo'Nique played Mary in Precious, a deeply troubled and abusive mother; Octavia Spencer played the maid of a white family in The Help; and Lupita Nyong'o played a brutalized enslaved woman in 12 Years a Slave.
