Young, Black, and Fabulous :: I Don’t Have To Make This Ish Up.: Mini Fab

    Who the hell sits on this Oscar nomination boardDenzy got played and didn’t get a nod for either of his ridiculously fabulous acting jobs he did for American Gangster or The Great Debaters.  But Ruby Dee grabbed a nod for Best Supporting Actress in American Gangster and the movie itself got a Best Art Direction nod.  Honestly, Ibelieve American Gangster should have grabbed a Best Music (Song) nod for at least one of those tracks in the movie.  People co-signed all over the foolishness that is “Whoop That Trick” winning because “it went with the movie” but the AG soundtrack couldnt have been any more tailored.  Oh well.    Y’all know Oscar folks weren’t letting black folks have some Oscar shine 2 years in a row.

    I reported a while back that Jason Kidd was expecting a new baby with his new girfriend Hope Dworaczyk.  now she’s posting pics on myspace and the word on the street looks to be true.  She’s a 23 year old model.  Is the ink on his divorce papers even dry yet?

    Na Na Campbell was spotted out at Boucheron’s 150th Anniversary party in Paris last night:

    Hot.

    Stay tuned…

      Let’s not be to angry over D not getting the nod for American Gangster. We need to stop worship’n wrong and show the youth what is right. Did not see the other movie but, since Sister O co-produced it and it did not get a nod, speaks volume.

      ~~Good morning YBF!
      ~~I really thought Denzell would get at least one nomination too.
      ~~Naomi Campbell looks a hot ass mess. A lot of people think she looks fabulous ALL THE TIME, but yall know she sometimes swings on that Foolywang rope. There is nothing Fab about this look at all. My grandma wears stuff like that. Well wait…maybe my grandma is fab too. I think Jessica White will soon take her place anyway. (Not hating…just my opinion…so all you Naomi fans don’t get all heated and testy…)
      ~~Jason Kidd got a 23 year old girlfriend??? How old is he? Isn’t he nearly 40? Gone head and get your grove back Kidd!!

      Jason’s girlfriend looks almost like his ex-wife….that’s crazy. And I can’t believe Denzel got snubbed like that-his acting in both American Gangster and The Great Debators is incredible I can’t believe none of the young actors got a support acting nod-this movie was incredible and well acted by everyone.

      Sorry folks but Denzel did not deserve a nomination for American Gangster. He’s performance was okay but not great. Daniel Day Lewis should win because he was amazing in “There will be Blood.” He was pure evil.

      WOMP on the Oscar people…..Denzel was robbed. He should have been nominated. His acting in both of those movies was FLAWLESS….Shame on you Oscars. I, for one will not be watching this year.

      Did any of you (that are supporting D. washington see ANY of the other movies that were nominated??? Lets make informed comments…… don’t throw the race card in there cause the director was white and so was the studio that made the film.

      It has nothing to do with “worshipping the wrong”. It’s about being recognized for your acting chops. Denzel did a phenomenal job in both films and I think he was cheated.

      i hate to be the one to say it, but.. ‘american gangster’ wasnt that great, and frankly, id be insulted if another of his better, more positive roles was passed up for guns & gore *again* (see: training day)

      but ANYWAY, on to the important stuff… denzel, is that an s-curl? is it?! how could you?!

      Denzel was not robbed a nomination for AG or the Debaters, it happens. And the voting members probably felt that AG was an obvious attempt by Denzel to get another Oscar, since he got one for TD. It’s so funny that it’s racism when a black person isn’t nominated, but if he would have been nominated , black folks would have complained that he was nominated for playing a thug. Don’t worry, we all know the Image Awards will give him an award, since the NAACP never does anything outside the box.

      If anyone should be upset about the Oscars it should be Will Smith, he was excellent in I Am Legend. Will has come a long way from his t.v. series.

      Im glad Ruby Dee was nominated for an award.

      I agree with Imthatgirl…

      While I think we all can agree that Denzel is a phenomenal actor (even actors like Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts are amazed and learn from his skills), people we can’t expect that the man is going to get nominated EVERY year that he’s IN a movie…

      Hell, he has TWO Oscars and TWO Golden Globes… Other people CAN act too, regardless of their race… I want to be seen as an equal, I don’t want folks throwing me accolades JUST because I have a “healthy dose” of melanin in my skin… I am sure he doesn’t either…

      Before ANY one can say he was robbed, can we please be sure to say we’ve seen ALL the movies in question FIRST and then make the comment? Now if someone on this board has seen The Great Debators, American Gangster and the five movies up for best picture and actors up for best actor, could we hear from YOU?

      Now if YOU say he was robbed, I’ll listen… Even then, I acknowledge the fact that folks have different tastes… But, YOUR comment will be more substantial to the matter…

      I just want to take this time and furl my brow at all these disgusting chicks who allow these b-ballers to go raw ASAP, get knocked up, only to post their pics on MySpace. Cause when you knock off all the dust, glitz (if there is any) and hoopla that is all they do. Your accomplishments have been noted. Schedule your C-section now because by the looks of his boy’s head that natural birth will smark!!! OK that was a little mean. *pressing submit*

      I agree with the ppl who have introduced the idea of making an informed opinion of whether Denzel was robbed or not. I have not seen all of the other movies that were nominated but I have heard really good things about those movies and the actors that played the lead roles. I am not denying that Denzel was good in AG but maybe his that role doesn’t stand up to the roles of the other actors in the other movies. I want to see all of the other movies before I make my decision on whether he got robbed or not.

      Natasha….what song should have gotten nominated? The songs in AG are old songs from back in the day. Only original songs that were made specifically for the movie can get nominated for an Oscar. And since Jay Z’s album was not the original soundtrack it couldn’t get nominated. So I was just wondering what song are you referring to?

      I thought American Gangster was
      HORRIBLE.
      Denzel has been in many great films
      and has had many great performances.
      Wasn’t feeling either in that movie.
      No one got robbed.

      i’m glad that american gangster didn’t get a nod. it would send the already wrong message out even louder. especially as Jay-Z is connected to it.

    32. what?

      Thats the same thing I thought about Jason Kidd…she just looks like a younger version of his ex wife…I guess he decided to trade her in for a newer model…no pun intended!!!LOL

      Denzel is a great actor and he could have played the roles of all these men who were nominated. When it comes to Oscar nominations, the movie and the actors usually go together. Remember when Titanic won every damn award for everything??…it’s about the whole movie. Unfortunately, they weren’t even looking at the movies he was in.

      Let’s see if Jason beats the hell outta this young chile half his age! Anyhu, Denzel nu it would take everything short of blood to get nominated again with these crakkas! Na Na Darling, that whole look is a No NO! that hairdo is a hairdon’t!

      SHHHH!

      Denzel always gets cheated…first, for Malcolm X, and then getting an oscar for training day–out of all the other positive roles he’s portrayed…but you know what, Denzel and the Hollywood industry knows how talented he is, and he doesn’t need a damn statue to validate that…

      I have seen the movies and I agree with the nominations. The idea that a country boy ran the NY drug ring is a very compelling story. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see that in American. Denzel decided not to focus on that aspect of his character and I think it cost him a nomination.

      Yes, I totally agree. Jurnee Smollett definitely should have been nominated. She had an exceptional performance.

      I agree!! I saw American Gangster and thought Denzel did well, but he always does. That was not Oscar-worthy performing.

      Couldn’t have said it better myself. Even though I think Denzel did a good job (as usual), I think AG was waaaay overrated.

      Because this world needs more strong role models such a Oprah, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Superman, Tila Tequila, Kevin Federline, PeeWee Herman, MajorKnuckles.. I just want to leave a strong positive legacy when I am gone, and many seeds to carry it on.

      Denzel was very good in his films–isn’t that why he gets $20 mil a picture? I saw “There Will Be Blood” and Daniel Day Lewis was this ish!! That Oscar is his, hands down. It’s not racism if 5 other performances were truly stronger than Denzel’s. Who knows, he might have ranked in the top 10 of voting, but the two films canceled each other out (that is, GD competing with AG for votes)? I’m thrilled for Ruby Dee. Denzel’s got his glow, it’s BEYOND time for Ms. Dee to get hers.
