Thread: The Best Supporting Actress Spectacular!: October Edition

It's all about right campaign and momentum. While Mo'nique's campaign has been growing larger then her breasts every day this entire year, we have yet to see what Moore's campaign will be like. Weinsteins are having crowded slate this year.

I love that she's more interested in the Image award. Mo'nique has a lot more going on than some other actors. I think that's why she's not solely focused on the buzz. Plus, I'm betting that she really didn't think it would be an Oscar thing. So I'm sure it's somewhat disorienting but she seems to be handling it graciously (apart from charging!) as she makes a note to always include how wonderful her...

Quote: Originally Posted by McTeague Some say the movie is about Amy Adams, who has more of an arc, and is influenced in flashbacks by Streep. I could perhaps see that as supporting.
