I finally saw this movie last week at the 50 cents show and it was 50 cents good but not OSCAR good.
I agree with what has been previously stated. Losing Isaiah was a much more solid performance for her. Hell she could have won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in Jungle Fever because her crackhead performance was all of that.
Monster's Ball's ending pissed me off because I just knew she was going to at least confront him about it and all they did was eat some ice cream.
I still have not seen Training Day but GOOD LORD, Denzel was MAGNIFICENT in John Q. He had me broke ALL THE WAY DOWN in that theater.
I can honestly say that Halle getting that Oscar was truly a pat on the head, a shoo fly, etc. type of award. It was deserved, belatedly though.
I know no one else liked BAPS but I did so they could have gave her an OSCAR for that movie as well.
