The Academy Awards nominations were announced this morning, and Taraji P. Henson was nominated for best supporting actress for her role in Benjamin Buttons!
We know Taraji is going to win but we shudder to think what she’s going to wear. We’ll just keep thinking happy thoughts and hope the Lord Blesses her with an Oscar and a good stylist for that night.
If anybody deserves that Oscar, it’s Taraji. She played her ass off as Brad Pitt’s mom. But she’s going up against some stiff competition including another sistah, Viola Davis (pictured left).
In the movie “Doubt”, Davis plays a woman who learns that her son may be the victim of sexual abuse by a priest at his school. I haven’t seen “Doubt” but I am familiar with her work and Davis is a great character actress.
The other nominees for Best Supporting Actress are: Amy Adams (Doubt), Penélope Cruz (Vicky Cristina Barcelona), and Oscar winner Marisa Tomei.
