Will Win: Mo’Nique - Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire
There are many people who remember a time when there was a question as to whether or not Mo’Nique could take this due to rumors she wasn’t campaigning hard enough and seeming like she didn’t want the award. Well, those days are long gone. She has been gracious at every award show she’s attended, and has truly let the performance speak for itself. This is a situation where people are awarding her not because she asked for it, but because the performance deserves it, and she should continue that streak all the way to the end.
Should Win: Mo’Nique - Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire
If you came to me as far back as two years ago and said that a co-lead from Soul Plane would be in a position to become an Oscar winner, and that I would agree that person deserved to win, I would have called you crazy. And I would have sought to have you committed if that person was Mo’Nique. But I have to say that her performance is incredible: agonizingly cruel yet subversively sympathetic, she creates a character that will be remembered for her monstrosity that played well with a complex core that showed itself in true passion at the film’s end. I never thought I’d want to hear the phrase, “Academy Award Winner Mo’Nique” ever in my life, but so the day has come.
