THE NOMINATIONS ARE IN: PRECIOUS QUEENS BUT NO KING

Gabourey "Gabby" Sidibe and Mo'Nique both were nominated for Best Actress and Supporting Actress in a movie, however the film's Director, Lee Daniels was left out. The unveiling took place at the Beverly Hills Hilton, where Justin Timberlake along with John Krasinski and Diane Kruger made the official announcements.
Gabby will be up against, Emily Blunt ( The Young Victoria), Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side), Carey Mulligan (An Education) and Helen Mirren (The Last Station) as a nominee for best actress in a motion picture (drama). Mo’Nique will compete against Julianne Moore (A Single Man), Anna Kendrick (Up in the Air) Vera Farmiga (Up in the Air) and Penelope Cruz (Nine).
But no nod for Lee Daniels. How can that be when his movie is up for "Best Picture?"
Precious will be competing in the Best Picture-drama category with James Cameron's (Avatar), Kathryn Bigelow's (The Hurt Locker), Jason Reitman's (Up In The Air) and Quentin Tarantino's (Inglorious Basterds).

"PRECIOUS" RED CARPET PREMIERE

Mr. & Mrs. Nick Cannon attended the The Film Society of Lincoln Center's New York Film Festival screening of "Precious," held at Alice Tully Hall in New York City. I love these two! The world awaits the news of a baby bump from MARNICK.

"PRECIOUS" AN OSCAR GEM

Can you say Oscar winning performances? The Oprah Winfrey/Tyler Perry film is easing on down to the Oscar!



Directed by Lee Daniels (Monsters Ball), PRECIOUS: Based on the Novel "PUSH" By Sapphire is a sure contender for an OSCAR. Set in Harlem in 1987, it is the story of Claireece Precious Jones played by newcomer, (Gabourey "Gabby" Sidibe), a sixteen-year-old African-American girl who gets pregnant for the second time by her absentee father. At home, Precious suffers emotional and physical abuse from her mother, which is played brilliantly by B-More's own, Monique Hicks. From this trailer alone, both Monique and Gabby are absoulutely brilliant!
I almost didn't recognize the beautiful R&B sensation Mariah Carey as the social worker. This ain't no Glitter (although) I enjoyed that movie; but anyway - Mariah is coming into her own as an actress. Rounding out the cast is the beautiful and talented Paula Patton, who plays the caring teacher, Sherri Shephard and Lenny Kravitz. Wow! Great job on this one LEE! I must say that this film should definitely be nominated in at least 4 categories: Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director and Best Film.
The film will be released on November 6 in New York and Los Angeles. This is definitely a film worth waiting for!
