Comments on: Women Score Big At The Oscars http://actsoffaithblog.com/women-score-big-at-the-oscars Encouraging You To Be YOU In All Of Your Fabulousness Thu, 24 May 2012 01:42:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: dustdaughter http://actsoffaithblog.com/women-score-big-at-the-oscars/comment-page-1#comment-2404 dustdaughter Thu, 11 Mar 2010 13:50:09 +0000 http://actsoffaithblog.com/?p=1224#comment-2404 I know he's not a woman, but I was especially happy to see Geoffrey Fletcher's win for Best Adapted Screenplay. I have a lot of issues with his adaptation (particularly the stuff that was drawn out like the chicken scene and the stuff that was glossed over like Mary's sexual abuse of Precious and her math prowess.), but it was good to see someone who looks like me doing something that I aspire to do one day and succeeding at it. I was happy for Bigelow but I will really jump for joy when directors like Julie Dash and Kasi Lemmons win Oscars.

Amelie is one of my favorite films. Anything is possible but that would really be casting against perception and expectations. Hey Nia: Gabby does have a bubbly personality.

I too was delighted for Kathryn Bigelow's wins. And I look forward to seeing more from both Gabourey Sibide and Monique. I would love to see Gabby in a lead role like the one played by Audrey Tatou in the movie "Amelie" for example. I have had to push my screenwriting plans back till the later part of this year due to prior personal and professional commitments, but I remain more inspired than ever to start creating.
