    I was very impressed with the entire show. Everyone looked beautiful and I was very pleaseed with many of the winners who don’t get the same love at more “mainstream” events. Very well put together.

    Maxwell looks orgasmic!!! I love that man, so glad that he won!

    Congratz to everyone that took home an award. Special congratz to Keke, Mo’nique, Gabby, and Lee Daniels! They are making history right about now. I admire KeKe because she’s so young and she’s got a good head on her shoulders. Excellent role model for the young people. Big ups to Mr. Daniels, but I hope he realizes that he can’t act like that if Precious wins an Oscar! He has to tone that down lol

    It was a great show last night. I missed the part where Keri and Keke won but congrats to them and everyone else. I loved the sincerity of Darryl Mitchell’s speech and the messages in Tyler Perry and Van Jones acceptance speeches.

    Why is Tyler’s hand on Taraji’s leg? I think the rumors are true about them dating. Anyway, the show was very classy.

    eva hair and makeup so dreadful darling, but her dress was beautiful. toni braxton looks fat and her boobies were saggy. look like they belong to an old lady in that dress ughghgh, and that belt belongs on a trench coat doesnt compliment her at all . fail !!!hair was cute though. gabrielle union looks like she was going to a backyard wedding

    My best dress is ms keri hilson she slayed all them chicks. 2nd kiki is cute as a button ms young hot diva status!! 3rd ms tachina arnold, regina king. anika rose colors are beautiful on their skin tone. last but not least Ms. Monique i was very impressed

    I hope that Precious will be the end of this kind of movie. Color Purple was enough in my opinion. I don’t want to see anymore movies with brutalizing, horrific black men. We need more positive roles for a change.

    Uh-oh. Somebody (Mo’Nique) is dropping mad weight before Oscar night. I guess Mo figured that being a full-figured black actress won’t get her very many opportunities in white Hollywood. No disrespect…just simply stating the facts. There are very few roles available to talented actors.

    Ride this moment while you can Mo.

    @ Effas
    Stfu. Maxwell looks orgasmic to US. If you don’t agree oh well. Different strokes for different folks. It’s not ONLY about his looks but he exudes sexiness in everything he does. From the way he moves to the way he sings and the way he speaks. He is a sexy man. Fall Back!
