I hope so. We need a movie like this to get Hollywood to realize that there is a lot of talent in black movies in front and behind the scene.
F A N T A B U L O U S LADIES, YOU DID US PROUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope so , it will send a message to all of hollywood and to other black actors and actresses, directors and producers!
My guess is that ‘Precious’ will walk away with one of those, but not likely the acting and directing awards because those are among the most prestigious, and the competition for them are too well established. I hope to be pleasantly surprised.
