Queen Latifah Is Nominated 4 Oscar

GRACIOUS QUEEN: Oscar-nominated Queen Latifah awed by co-stars.

(Feb. 14, 2003) *How is Queen Latifah taking her tinsel town fame? Very much in stride. Thanks to her outstanding supporting role in the hit film “Chicago,” the rapper/singer/actress is just about the only minority actor nominated for an Academy Award this year and she told Launch that she’s very excited, very thankful, and very impressed with the film and actor John C. Reilly.
"I'm delightfully surprised at everybody's reaction," Latifah said. “John C. Reilly -- he got me with 'Mr. Cellophane' at the table read, and it was just, like, 'Wow, I'm part of something special.' And these dancers that are actually in the Broadway play -- the things these men and women can do with the body like amazes me, so I was kind of in awe through the whole process."

-I am very happy that Queen Latifah was nominated for an Oscar this year. I personally felt that she should've been nominated years ago for her role in "Set it Off." It's also sad that it took all this time for White folks to notice her range of talent. But better late than never. Anyway congrats!

queen I am so proud of Queen Latifah and it is about time that the Academy recognized her. I loved her in Set It off and she should've received more accolades for that breakthrough performance. I picked up her Greatest Hits compliation back in December and I love her two new songs "Shes A Queen" and "Go Head." I want to see "Bringin' Down The House" that looks like its going to be funny. I just adore Queen La! ALL HAIL! Can't wait for a new album by her. I'M SO GLAD SHE IS CONTINUALLY BLOWING UP!

I think Latifah is a Good Actress&when you factor what goes for Being a SuperStar Actor or Actress nonwadays She truly has some Chops.but why does a Black Person only get Nominated either with Crime-Related Matter be it on Lock-Down or battling the Man???it would be so cool to get Nominated for just doing a Julia Roberts type of Role without having to have to much worry you know??

I hate that kinda of stereotype too but when I brought up the "Set It Off" it wasn't becoz she's a gangstress. Its becoz she played a role nobody would wanna see(a black lesbian) thats a real turn off once you hear it from somebody's mouth but when you see the movie you change yo mind.

REAL ACTING 2 me is being able to act someone who's not you at all thats why I thought that Miss Owens desereved an Oscar 4 that role. Trust me,,that role being a gangstress have nothing 2 do with why I wanted her 2 have an Oscar.

I hate stereotype so much my brother and I damn sho don't support it esp when it comes down to us(black folks) becoz most ppl already have a bad impression of us. Sad but true!

Xactly wink now you're getting the point.

Never the less, Miss Roberts is a powerful and a beautiful actress and I choose my girl over all of them nowadays white actresses. What I loved about her is she knew how to make GOOD MOVIES without going into the sex saga, making herslef look cheap like many of them did(Cameron-Sharon-Cathrine-Bruse Willis's ex wife"4got her name" and many many many others.)

Angela Basett is a Babe&is easily one of the Best Actresses in the Game but because She won't show any Flesh She hardly gets any Play you know? sometimes in Hollywood just like in Real Life I have to remind myself it's 2003&Not 1903.

LOL and I know thats right.

I love my girl but the thing is she don't play "different roles" I guess thats why they don't give her a chance.

Angela always play "around the way lady" ya know? the modern day foxy brown, the in control tuff sistah who will fuck you up if you crossed her road which is cool, she's showing a very respectable side of the black woman. But thats not the deal with the movie producers,,they want different roles and I guess thats Angela's problem right there.

Overall, I think that she shoula be chosen instead of Halle 2 play "Foxy Brown". I love Halle but she's just ain't all that when it comes 2 play the tuff street chic at all. Hell, picturing her pulling that kinda attitude is painful 4 my eyes lol but I won't bring my sistah down. I might as well give her a chance becoz who knows?? She maybe good.

Lawd have mercy lol now thats a name I wouldn't mention in front of my father. He always tell me that Pam was the ONLY girl on his life along with my mother and *jokes* about he's willing to cheat on her over Pam Grier.

I would'nt blame the ol' fool, did you saw her in the Jackie Brown movie?? Honey, I ain't no lesbian but damn I would LOVE to look like that when I hit the late 40's. I always trip when I see the scene where she's wearing that red dress eek now that is a lady who didn't have to try what Cher did wink

Your Pops knows.Pam Grier is So Ground-Breaking in so Many Ways that it ain't even funny.She was so Badd that they had to Clone 3 White Chicks after Her to Make Charlies Angels.Pam Grier was the Baddest Siter then&Now&I'd still get with Her.She is only in her 50's&I'd be there like Redman Said.

NO, it's not her association w/ Michael Douglas that will win her anything w/ this. Have you even seen Chicago yet? Zeta-Jones gave THE best performance in that movie, hands down nod PLEASE don't belittle her performance if you haven't even seen the shit yet... neutral And if you HAVE seen it, shame on ya!! disbelief

NO, it's not her association w/ Michael Douglas that will win her anything w/ this. Have you even seen Chicago yet? Zeta-Jones gave THE best performance in that movie, hands down nod PLEASE don't belittle her performance if you haven't even seen the shit yet... neutral And if you HAVE seen it, shame on ya!! disbelief

I think Latifah is a Good Actress&when you factor what goes for Being a SuperStar Actor or Actress nonwadays She truly has some Chops.but why does a Black Person only get Nominated either with Crime-Related Matter be it on Lock-Down or battling the Man???it would be so cool to get Nominated for just doing a Julia Roberts type of Role without having to have to much worry you know??



Hmmm. I wonder too Maxx. I wonder too!!!

I hate that kinda of stereotype too but when I brought up the "Set It Off" it wasn't becoz she's a gangstress. Its becoz she played a role nobody would wanna see(a black lesbian) thats a real turn off once you hear it from somebody's mouth but when you see the movie you change yo mind.

REAL ACTING 2 me is being able to act someone who's not you at all thats why I thought that Miss Owens desereved an Oscar 4 that role. Trust me,,that role being a gangstress have nothing 2 do with why I wanted her 2 have an Oscar.

I hate stereotype so much my brother and I damn sho don't support it esp when it comes down to us(black folks) becoz most ppl already have a bad impression of us. Sad but true!
She truly was CLEO&Threw Down in that Role IMHO She got Jacked no DOubt.


Critics were all up on her ass becoz of that role but I couldn't give a damn cuz personaly I really enjoyed it.
where were the Outcries over Roberts playing a Hooker in "Pretty Woman"&Doing a Generic Take at that???


Xactly wink now you're getting the point.

Never the less, Miss Roberts is a powerful and a beautiful actress and I choose my girl over all of them nowadays white actresses. What I loved about her is she knew how to make GOOD MOVIES without going into the sex saga, making herslef look cheap like many of them did(Cameron-Sharon-Cathrine-Bruse Willis's ex wife"4got her name" and many many many others.)
Angela Basett is a Babe&is easily one of the Best Actresses in the Game but because She won't show any Flesh She hardly gets any Play you know? sometimes in Hollywood just like in Real Life I have to remind myself it's 2003&Not 1903.


LOL and I know thats right.

I love my girl but the thing is she don't play "different roles" I guess thats why they don't give her a chance.

Angela always play "around the way lady" ya know? the modern day foxy brown, the in control tuff sistah who will fuck you up if you crossed her road which is cool, she's showing a very respectable side of the black woman. But thats not the deal with the movie producers,,they want different roles and I guess thats Angela's problem right there.

Overall, I think that she shoula be chosen instead of Halle 2 play "Foxy Brown". I love Halle but she's just ain't all that when it comes 2 play the tuff street chic at all. Hell, picturing her pulling that kinda attitude is painful 4 my eyes lol but I won't bring my sistah down. I might as well give her a chance becoz who knows?? She maybe good.



I love Angela Bassett. One of my favorites. Beautiful sista who is very careful about the roles she plays. Yes... Pam Grier has aged gracefully..INDEED!!!

I Might Be Crazy but I ain't no Fool.Zeta-Jones is a Flash in the Pan Actress IMHO.not much there to me overall with Her Acting Chops.I Compare Her with 50 Cents:Association until Proven otherwise.
