Congratulations to Tom Heller, Summit NJ’s own native son, who was an Executive Producer (along with Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry) of the Golden Globe and Oscar nominated film, “Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire.” Not only has the film been nominated for Best Picture, but actress Mo’Nique, who portrays Mary Jones, Precious’ mother, won the Golden Globe for best supporting actress for her outstanding performance. Both Mo’Nique and Gabourey Sidibe, who plays Precious, are nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress, respectively. Other nominations for “Precious” include Lee Daniels for directing, Geoffrey Fletcher for writing the adapted screenplay, and Joe Klotz for film editing. Have you seen the film yet? What did you think? Feel free to send us your comments and recommendations for other Oscar picks.
”Life is hard. Life is short. Life is painful. Life is rich. Life is….Precious.”
