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).
