    Didn't Monique from Precious win Best Supporting Actress ? Or are you talking about someone else entirely ...

    Feev - I'm pretty sure he means Gabourey Sidibe. The young woman who actually played Precious. She was up against Bullock, et al.

    Eek ! Sorry. I haven't seen the movie, and I had stepped out during the Best Actress segment.

    However, there wasn't much noise in regards to Sidibe winning the award, all signs pointed to Bullock taking home the gold.

    Yeah, I agree. This year the awards were pretty predicable. All the front runners in the main categories all walked away with their awards.

    I did love Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin hosting together. I thought they did a great job.

    I saw Precious the other night. I thought it was a really good movie. There are some pretty powerful performances. Sidibe and Mo'nique were amazing.

    If I had seen Precious before the film started getting any attention and I watched Mo'nique's first scene, I would have known from that point on that she was going to win an Oscar. It's that powerful.

    I also think it's interesting to note that my mom thought Sidibe should have won the Oscar over Bullock. That's saying something since my Mom loves Sandra Bullock and raved about her performance in The Blind Side.

    She loved that film so much, she would not stop nagging me (and is still nagging me) to see it. I really think everybody should check Precious out.

    I really thought this was the most predictable Oscar Awards, ever. Sincerely.

    And from what I've heard - Yeah, everyone knew Bullock would win, but every person I've talked to who saw the movie - they said it was kind of a "meh" movie, and she was better than the rest of the movie.

    I stand by my original thought that she didn't deserve it. She's done much better work ( see Crash ) and really, I think this time it was a lot about how nice, and self-effacing, and kind and adorable she is, and not so much about how she gave a better performance than Meryl Streep and Helen Mirran!!!
