Vanessa Williams Dishes On "The Blind Side"

http://www.viddler.com/ex...videos/52/

She kind of struggles to affirm her points, but she pretty much gets shut down by the Babwa Wawa and the other 2 ladies,,,,still I respect her for doing it.

From what I've read, the young man portraed in the movie already knew how to play football, didn't need to be taught and is a little upset about how they changed the story.
Poetic license I guess.

I still haven't seen this. The previews struck me as Lifetime-y. I'm sure I will watch, just to see how much Sandra did or did not deserve the award.

Did/Does Michael Oher at least benefit from the portrayal of his story? Or is this one of those things where you're a public figure so they can go unauthorized? I'm not a sports person so I have no clue.

I read that Oher wasn't happy with how he was portrayed in the movie.

I cannot watch that show disbelief I don't have that much patience or temper to suffer through the douchery of those witches(esp Elisabeth Hasselhag).

VDub was on The View and I missed it? eek

Sandra Bullock talked about the theme Vanessa brings up on Tavis Smiley. At the time there was a lot of hoopla about the same thing in Avatar but he never asked Cameron about it when he was on.

I think it was MORE pronounced in Sandra's movie though nod whereas Avatar is more subtle.

Yes, absolutely although I haven't seen The Blind Side yet. I would have loved to see Whoopi on that day. Funny, do you remember when Wendy always said VW would be a great addition to the show? We got a little taste.

Vanessa will drown between all of that birds' CACKLE, she's too graceful to out-yap them lol Only a BIG MOUTH like Whoopi or Rosie(who I can't stand) can challange those women and put their privileged asses back to reality.

Joy Behar makes my testicles sore, she annoys me so much mad

They're a bunch of egotistical old birds who think they know it all, and Barbara takes the cake

V should've unleashed some ms.Slater on her for cutting her off like that. it's one thing to be diplomatic about an issue, but another to just shut people up like that.

Oh, that would have been a sight to see! She should've done the show in character and cut that biddy with her stiletto! BTW, I almost didn't recognize you with your new 'face'. hug

I never could figure out Ms.Ling's story, did she make a statement about her departure from the show? A NON-diplomatic statement at that? lurking

I was just thinking how Lisa broke out to do some real work. I can't imagine her wanting to be in an environment like that for very long. She stated that being from Asian culture she was a better listener than talker and to respect her elders so basically she didn't fit in because you really have to make yourself heard on the show. At the time Star Jones was still there. When the National Geographic gig came up, she was out and I don't blame her.

I remember seeing it once when it first came on they were having a discussion and when Barbara or Joy or Meredith (I think) would say something the crowd cheered but Lisa gave her opinion which was opposite of theirs and the crowd was silent

She was the underdog neutral
