does it have a chance at winning best director Oscar? Is best picture Oscar locked?

Does Baba like R&B music?


Condon will be nominated but for me, his directing was one of the most unsure things about the film. BP is locked.

Baba hates black people.

the dreamgirls segment is right at the beginning and lasts about 8 to 10 minutes.

So a movie where at one point Baba was laughing at it unintentionally for an hour is a lock for the win huh?

So wait, half of the movie is like a 90min version of R.Kelly's trapped in the closest, where they sing out their discussions?

If Killuminati sees this, will he still give Condon's mouth a big, fat shit? ;)

they sing out their 'feelings' about 4 times i think ... but they're meant to be power scenes and sadly, the way they all begin made me laugh so hard, i couldn't appreciate the rest of it. this one scene, hudson sang her heart out and 5 minutes later when the echoing in my ears stopped, people clapped at the power of her singing while i died a little inside. i was sure if i pricked her with a needle at that moment, she would have blown up. bleh ... not an american idol fan.

I think Loyal even came out of the film with a fem voice, judging from that podcast.

Arsi also laughed during Schindler's List.

Does it have energy like Ray? Or is it kind of flat in places like Walk the Line?

One of the reasons Ray is good is that it never lets you off the hook long enough to get dull.

I wasn't bored but Arsi clearly was.

The scenes with Eddie Murphy for example, I felt exhausted, in a good way, when they were over.

I think the one person in the film who deserves anything in this film is Murphy followed by Jamie Foxx.

Hudson relied on singing and acting while singing. The other acting, while good, was nothing special
