Kimberly Elise looks nice but a lil bleached

Inspiring Story – and will be a good movie too.
Jurnee Smollet is a beautiful sister, and she is waering that gown.
She’s been in the business for a while, very consistent… maybe this is her breakout role.

Jennifer Hudson looks AMAZING!! The hair, the make-up, and those boots are killin’em. She looks great. #5….Can you do what she’s doing? I think not. If she gets on your nerves so much, then why leave a comment about her? You’re just another hater lol!

@26 I totally agree with you

kimberly is such a pretty woman but i’m not feeling the makeup here
all in all, this is one of the few events where everyone looks good lol
oh yeah and the mowrys are stepping it up. they’ve been looking amazing lately. they’re lucky b/c they get better-looking with age
Jurnee (sp)? really turned out to be a beautiful young lady. I will support this movie.
J-hud is losing weight and looking FLAWLESS. I like the new haircut and those boots. Everyone looks nice except Gayle King in that ugly dress lol.
1. i am really excited to see this film when i go home for winter break
and
2. jurnee looks wonderful and i hope her career takes off….who knows she may have decided to go to school or something during her time away from the screen
Wow. Wesley has resurfaced after that tax mess looking very incognegro.
Oprah’s outfit is very unique–very nice.
Why is Kimberly Elise resembling Latoya Jackson with the baby hair and light makeup?
Who is Jurnee ?
What is the movie about ?
Black Hollywood Swinging!
Nicey Nash w/ no flower- get it girl! She killin that look yo!
Keisha Whitaker needs to eat!
Latonya Jackson (Sam L’s wife) always look a damn mess- get a stylist
Why the men rockin that lame jeans and suit jacket look- thats played
Jurnee is a doll. Not loving, Jennifer’s dress. Kim Elise looks a little LaToya Jackson. I think it’s the hair
I am collecting canned goods to FEED KEISHA WHITAKER!!!!!
Miss neal has on the wrong shade of face powder! I am in love with that skirt Oprah! The color is the shid!! Everybody looks great! Even Mr. Nino Brown!
Great to see everyone. George Pickinson looks as if he’s gained some weight. Floretta Labowski always looks good.
This movie looks like it’s going to be great.
Everyone looks nice.
Why is Keisha Whitaker anorexic?
Seriously, she has to be. Look at her legs. I am afraid they’re going to give out any minute. She is scary skinny and no doubt ill.
BIll, Jurnee is the little girl from Eve’s Bayou.
This movie is about a Black college debate team who went on and Beat Harvard. Based on a true story. Denzel plays their coach Mel Tolson.
Can someone find out where J. Hud’s boots came from…they are really nice!
Everyone looks amazing, Denzel is doing it up with these two movies…do I see a shiny Oscar in the new year?
I honestly don’t know if this will be Jurnee’s breakout role. The critics seem to be pointing to Nate Parker saying he stole the show. So congrats to him.
#42 No Denzel probably won’t win an Oscar. He may not even get a nomination. The critics awards came out this week and the Best Actor award have constantly went to either Daniel Day Lewis for THere WIll Be Blood or George Clooney for Michael Clayton. For the most part American Gangster & THe Great Debaters have been left out. There’s so many good films that came out this year a lot of them got better reviews than American Gangster any way The Golden Globes will be announced tommorrow.
I personally want Johnny Depp to win for Sweeney Todd.

Denzel’s wife’s name is PAULETTA, not PAULA – LOL!
I can’t wait to see this movie – I’ve already told my daughter I’m dragging her along too!
DENZEL GOT THAT BI POLAR UNCLE LOOK DOWN PAT…..
I HOPE HE JUST SAID F*CK EFFORT AND HIS HEALTH REALLY IS OKAY….
Why is Wesley Snipes there? I thought this was A “Black” event. lol
KEISHA WHITAKER NEEDS TO EAT BADLY UHG!!!! SHE LOOKS BAD..SHE ONLY MARRIED FORREST TO GET ABOVE FOR HERSELF WHY DO SHE GO TO SO MANY FUNCTION WITHOUT HIM AND ALL THE AWARDS AND THINGS HE HAVE GOING ON SHE MAKE SURE SHE IS THERE….ALL I AM ASKING FOR IS EQUALITY…
A positive movie, I am glad Denzel backed up a great and positive movie after American Gangstar.
Oprah’s outfit is nice, I love the orange and brown combo. Gayle needs to try toning it down.
Jurnee is all GROWN up!!!!
Awwww Jurnee looks great! I remember her from Full House when she used to play the Olsen twins’ bestfriend, Denise. Then she had that show with her brothers and sisters. It’s good to see she grew up well and stayed classy. She needs to teach the Olsens a few things.
This movie sounds great!
Um, I hope you guys realize that Forest Whitaker another Oscar winner is also in this film.THis will be Nat Parker’s breakout role. Here is what a critic said:
I’d love to get into Denzel Washington’s The Great Debaters, which I saw this evening, but it’s early yet. Discussions and terms await. But it’s essential to mention Nate Parker, who plays one of three African-American debaters (the other two played by Jurnee Smollett and Denzel Whitaker) from Wiley College in 1935 who wound up debating the Harvard University team, under the guidance of Washington’s Melvin B. Tolson.
I’ve never seen Parker before, but he’s got it. He’s charismatic, good-looking…a “tan” Paul Newman (as Newman was in The Young Philadelphians) who looks people in the eye cool and steady, and perhaps has a slight weakness for women.
Parker has only been in the game since ’04. He’s acted only on TV and in crappy movies so far. (I missed his supporting performance in Pride, the swim-team sports movie with Terrence Howard and Bernie Mac that opened last March.) Worse, his next two are low-rent exploitation films — Tunnel Rats (directed by — yipes! — Uwe Boll) and Felon. The Great Debaters is Parker’s first and only A-level effort. He needs to build on it and move in another direction, or in five years he’ll be Dorian Harewood. It’s his call.
All I know is, Parker has a quality, a presence, a vibe. He could be another Denzel. A small group I spoke with after tonight’s screening agreed on this point, or at least that he’s Newman-esque. It’ll be intriguing to see what happens.
Jurnee was also recently on Roll Bounce as Bow Wow’s friend (can’t remember her name but Kelita Smith’s daughter). I remember her and her family, they use to have a show on ABC and they all rocked these wild dreads (but not dreads) look.
She is SO pretty!!! Oh, I also saw her on Oprah with before with Hydea (she’s that pretty little girl who was on EVERY talk show) talking about her having HIV, she got it when she was really young. I believe they are best friends
who is angie cowell, she used to be a video model??
If yes, who is she now. I swear video models has the shortest career ever!
I’m so excited about this movie. I will definitely be in someone’s cinema on Christmas Day to see this. Everyone for the most part looks really nice but I am loooooooving Kimberly Elise’s dress. Jurnett’s dress is pretty too and Im glad to see Jurnett doing her thing. I’m glad she didn’t give up her dream despite how hard the industry is for African Americans and other minorities. I’m glad to see some positive black movies coming out and Im so happy that Oprah and Denzel took on this project.
Here’s what someone else said:
Well, it’s been showing here and there for a few weeks, actually. Another handful got a peek tonight, and while it isn’t a reviewable product (Denzel Washington is still working on the film), there are some comments worth making.
Like pointing out a star-making turn from newcomer Nate Parker for starters. If any whispers carry on past the film itself (which will have its champions), it will be this actor’s potential at the start of a new career. One fellow viewer tonight made a comparison to a young Paul Newman, and he isn’t far off, I’d say.
So Nate Parker seems to be the one to look out for.
Jurnee is a beauty I wonder how the rest of her family is doing? The movie looks boring to me.
Jurnee was also in Gridiron Gangs last year and like someone else said Roll Bounce the year before.
53- thats my cousin. He’s from VA-he’s getting an Oscar nomination for this role. And to think he was discovered at his wife’s modeling office.
