In another historic moment at the Oscars on Sunday, a woman won the Best Director category for the first time; Katherine Bigelow won for her Iraq War movie, The Hurt Locker, over her ex-husband James Cameron. Now, many critics had pegged Cameron to win, but you know there was a contingent of viewers who were hoping the award would go to Lee Daniels for Precious. Besides, you know the Academy voted for Hillary. The studio has not yet announced the DVD release date.
When the director of Music by Prudence came running down the aisle like he was on the Price is Right to accept his Oscar, the producer of the film Elinor Burkett--who had apparently been dismissed from the project--rushed the stage and pulled a Kanye interrupting him mid-syllable to monopolize his acceptance time. He just stood there grinning hard and looking at her like "B*tch what the fcuk?" Personally, I would have pushed her @ss into the orchestra pit, but that's just me. I find it amazing the orchestra didn't start to play to drown her out or no security came up. I find it even more amazing the media is NOT reporting on this incident at all! Kanye's career took a nosedive after he interrupted Taylor Swift. Who is speaking out for this dude? No one but bloggers and Black folk, that's who.
The Academy of Motion Pictures just honored Michael during the memoriam segment on the Oscars! I was in tears! I wasn't expecting that at all!!!!! Michael appears at 2:44; they show pictures from Thriller, the Wiz, and the Panther Dance.
Monique's dress shined last night, which was fitting because it was HER night. She was the best-dressed out of all the Best Supporting Actress nominees last night, and her hair and make up were flawless. Gabby Sidibe was dressed in bold electric blue while her mother appeared in a classic black dress. I was happy to see Gabby walk the red carpet with such confidence, but I thought her dress could have been bolder, less classic, and more flattering than it was. I also felt she needed a bit more color in her makeup given the bright color of the dress. Zoe Saldana appeared in shades of iridescent lavender. I thought the bodice of the dress could have been more flattering given her petite frame, but her hair and make up were classic and tasteful. Host Sherrie Shepperd sported what must have been an industrial brassiere to support her unbalanced look in that dress. Her stylist also could have chosen something much more flattering given her recent and very public weight loss. Host Vivica Fox chose a sleeveless black number that showed off her curves to perfection; unfortunately, her weave was not on point. As a matter of fact, it was not even on her head properly. Note to her hair stylist, a natural hairline for a woman does not begin all the way at the crown of her head. What weave was there looked good, but her giant forhead and naked front of her head were distracting the entire time she was on camera. Sherrie Shepperd should have hooked her up.
For the LA premiere at AFI Fest...It appears the films' distributor Lionsgate has come to terms with the actress (details not disclosed) and Mo'Nique flew in from the ATL to attend. Precious opens nationwide on November 13th. Was Mo crazy to hold out from attending Precious premieres or trying to be a good bid'ness woman?
