Oscar Eye: Predicting Precious And The Other Winners
Cinema Blend News — ... hope coming out of poverty and overcoming life's obstacles. It's much, much harder to watch than Slumdog , and doesn't end with an oversimplifying musical number, but I have plenty of faith that if most Americans wind up seeing one adult drama this fall, it'll be this one. I've had Precious ranked as one of the Best Picture locks since I began this column, and as the movie comes closer to release, that position has only solidified. I've yet to manage to bang out my review, but other critics are generally wild about it. The most interesting thing about the movie's public ...

Armond White At It Again: Hates on Multiple Award Winner Precious
Film Junk — ... presence felt this week, after delivering a scathing review of the Lee Daniels film Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. The movie, which hits select theatres this weekend, is riding a massive wave of Oscar buzz after picking up awards at Sundance, TIFF and the San Sebastian Film Festival earlier this year. (Last year’s People’s Choice Award winner in Toronto was Best Picture winner Slumdog Millionaire.) Precious is currently sitting at 86% on Rotten Tomatoes, so of course White doesn’t like it.

Oscar Eye: Predicting The Winners Following Precious's Giant Success
Cinema Blend News — ... at least acknowledged it as an even stronger contender than previously imagined. Precious , of course, has Oprah and Tyler Perry pushing it, and a crack marketing campaign that's kept the buzz going since Sundance. But this weekend's $100,000 per-screen average puts it in the rarefied company of Dreamgirls and Brokeback Mountain as one of the only films to pull off that feat-- and both movies, you remember, were in the thick of the Best Picture race even if neither won.
