OMG I am crying right now. Ma homegurl MoMo is going to be an Academy Award Nominee. OMG. OMG.
I can’t wait to see this. Push is such an amazing book, and I have a feeling this movie will be a fantastic and faithful adaptation.
momo will be a winner, dude.
Ordinary Cow
I doubt Momo will win. Julianne Moore has been snubbed so many times before so I feel like AMPAS will take into consideration will voting. I LOVE MOMO TO DEATH but I would be fine with Julianne Moore winning. She’s done some fine work in the past and I think she’ll be great in Single Man.

Mo’Nique’s performance has been buzzed about since Sundance. Now buzz for Gabby Sidibe is also picking up. Everyone is seriously looking at Precious as a whole not just Mo’Nique revelation. Mother-daughter pain hasn’t won since 1993. It could happen this year.

It won’t happen. The Oscar belongs to Meryl this year. There is no way AMPAS is snubbing the great Streep for Sidibe; no way. Best supporting actress is definitely going to Julianne Moore. She’s been snubbed so many times before so AMPAS will feel compelled to award her this year.
i kind of agree about moore…except her performance in a single man – as nomination worthy as it is, just isn’t big enough. mo’nique has that impactful performance that people will always associate with precious.
i also agree that meryl is winning this year. she is over due (technically she’s the biggest loser at the oscars…) and even if you hated julie & julia, you have to admit she was brilliant…and she got some of her best reviews for that movie…
Jason- I concur, meryl will get her third O this year! that’s all! wait til you see her honest to goodness performance for it’s complicated.
I agree Jason. Having seen both films in the last week and a half, Julianne’s role isn’t big enough (though fun and perhaps enough for a nom given her pedigree and being in 3 films this year) while Mo’Nique is a scene-stealing revelation with a brilliant give-me-an-Oscar scene. She seems destined for the win. I think she’s deserving too. I just hope A Single Man gets more recognition across the board as it’s a much better film than Precious IMO.
Shocking. Just shocking that Precious won in the city where Oprah is based.
Yes, I’m completely sure that is why a film that has won many other awards won in Chicago. Oprah really affects people’s judgement of a film. Never mind the fact that she wasn’t there because the city is all that matters.
Isn’t this the same movie that did so well at Sundance, Toronto, London film festivals?
it’s boring because it’s a masterpiece and it can win every single award at every festival it is shown. or not?
julianne moore – what’s up if she gets her 5th nomination? kate winslet didn’t win until her 6th and… do you know Deborah Kerr????
Oh, stop, Meryl is done. She is fine. She has two. Good for her.
Tony,
Someone needs to top Hepburn’s record and Meryl still has the energy and talent to do it.
don’t kid yourself; Meryl is NOT done. She is only beginning
Precious was shown at London fest this weekend and lets just say the reaction is great. What is it about this movie that has people loving it so much.
