It was just a shitty movie...nothing great...no great acting.
You give an Oscar to happy go lucky Tom Hanks when he plays a slow man dealing with life or as a AIDS infected person dealing with the disease. You give an Oscar to Hilary Swank when she transforms herself into Maggie in Million Dollar Baby. You dont give an Oscar to a loud, abrasive, black women acting like a loud, abrasive, black women. I remember watching her stand up "I coulda been your cell mate" a couple years ago and it was the same Mo'Nique we saw in Precious but in a comical sense and not a mean spirited one.
Its just a movie that falls right in line with Basketball Diaries/Dangerous Minds mentalities.
