I thought this pic deserved more...Thanks, Mahogani. I thought this pic deserved more attention than it got. I don't think enough people saw it, though. Lacking buzz, I think "The Great Debaters" was largely overlooked. It did earn a best drama nomination from the Golden Globes. If it had earned a bit more box office, though, perhaps we'd be talking about it this week.Alexandyr Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05358689836161734165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34411274.post-65234022659863274152008-02-17T18:44:00.000-06:002008-02-17T18:44:00.000-06:00I sometimes hate that movies and actors like this ...I sometimes hate that movies and actors like this have to wait until the Image Awards to get their due ... but I'm happy for the cast ... Jurnee (Sp?) definitely deserved hers but I would have rather seen Nate win than Denzel Whitaker ... but like Denzel (Washington) said, they're finally getting the recognition they deserve. They worked hard to put that movie out in a short period of time and the Golden Globes and SAGs snubbed them ... so hurray for the NAACP for doing good :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
