With her victory at the Indy Spirit Awards Friday night, Mo'Nique has nabbed every single major award for which she was nominated. For her work as Mary Jones, a supporting role in Precious, Mo'Nique has been honored with the Golden Globe, BAFTA and Screen Actors Guild awards, in addition to being recognized by every critics association of note in the country. I imagine she's already made space on the mantel for Oscar.Side note: Congrats to Gabourey "Gabbie" Sidibe for her Indy Spirit win. The likelihood that Gabbie will derail the Sandra Bullock freight train to the Oscars is slim, so I'm happy she got her props before a live, general audience at the Spirit Awards.
Ditto for Lee Daniels, for directing. I don't think he'll get an Oscar, but the Spirit Award is well deserved. If you haven't seen it already, Precious comes out in DVD on Tuesday.

I was so happy Monique won... this movie was fantastic. Have you read the book? If so, should I?
Just watched this truly gripping film. It reminded me of the power of an authentic voice, however muffled or unpolished it may be.
