No African American comedian has ever won an Oscar for Best Actor. The four Best Actor winners were Sidney Poitier, Denzel Washington, Jamie Foxx and Forest Whitaker. Foxx isn't really considered a comedian. Eddie Murphy was nominated as Best Supporting Actor for Dreamgirls, but he lost to Alan Arkin (because Norbit came out before that year's Oscars); however, Whoopi Goldberg is a comedian, and she won an Oscar for Ghost, but she didn't win Best Actor. She won Best Supporting Actress.
