oh no, i agree. i think monique did a great job in Precious being as though i’m used to seeing her cracking jokes, but i don’t think she’ll ever be a ’serious’ actress.

will managed to do it, jamie managed to do it… but i don’t think monique is all that interested in being taken so serious anyhow. but the fact that she HAS put in dues over the years and we still look at it as a fluke doesn’t help Gabby’s (less fame, less appeal, less experience, less acceptable-role range) cause at all.

Sorry, “The View”

Saw him (Forrest Whitaker) on the view saying he was trying to be healthier….

On another note on size, I didn’t watch much of the Oscars show, but I did watch “Fashion Police” on E and them showing Kate Winslet and Joan Rivers saying Kate is fuller figured and “curvy” …GTFOOWTBS! What… she curvy compared to famine victim? Cause she damn sho’ ain’t thick, volumptious or none of that. She just isn’t a size 0.

amber! i looooooooooovvvvvvvvvve glee!!

lol.

“I actually think Cate Blanchett isn’t so bad looking ,though…”

Me either.

“but how much is down to racial and gender discrimination rather than the parts that black women audition for? because the only black actress i can think of who does the indie circuit and always plays different characters is kerry washington and she stays working.”

This is definitely true. And while I love me some indie films and don’t see them as a “consolation prize” by any means, I don’t think Black actresses should be pigeonholed into those roles and only those roles. It’s the variety that 2520 actresses have that Black actresses don’t. That’s the core problem, IMO.

I agree that he acts well. He was good in “Book of Eli” too.

I think it’s for a role.
