Not that I don’t want to see this, but I can’t stop thinking of what awful things Armond White will say about this. But whatever. No one takes him seriously.

Anywho, this looks to be an incredible film. It’s in my top five of the lower-profile films coming out this Oscar season, and it’s on my radar for seeing on November 20.

But you’re kind of right, Oscar-wise. In my newest predictions, I have it winning some big ones…except Best Picture. Director, yes, but I think this will be a split year, with “Up in the Air” taking the crown. But this is only September.

I haven’t made a bold prediction for Best Picture yet. With no one having seen “Nine” or “Invictus” yet, we really have no idea how they will play into the race. But I don’t think it’s completely far-fetched for a movie like “Up” or “The Hurt Locker” to win. The new voting rules turn Best Picture into least common denominator … and everyone with a heart loves “Up.”

I just can’t get over the fact that Mo’nique is in this and is being taken seriously. Her, and Mariah Carey. So strange. This looks fantastic and I can’t wait to see it (and probably cry… a lot).

The one thing that REALLY bothers me is that Oprah is somehow involved. Guh.
