The film has been atop the box office for five straight weeks, and is the second-highest-grossing film ever with $1.61 billion dollars worldwide. ‘Avatar’ should overtake the top spot of Cameron’s previous blockbuster, ‘Titanic,’ which grossed $1.84 billion.
In her role as the mom-from-hell in ‘Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire,’ actress and talk show host MoNique was a double winner this past weekend as she won a Best Supporting Actress award from The Critic Choice Movie Awards, then followed it with another one from Hollywood Foreign Press Association at the Globes.
The Golden Globes are considered a major pre-cursor to the Academy Awards.
In her acceptance, MoNique said: “Everybody kept asking me do I know my speech, and I said, ‘No, I don’t know what I’m going to say because I don’t want people to think I just know I done won something,’ so no, I don’t know! When I tell you all I am in the midst of my dream and when I look into the eyes of the man I stood next to at 14 years old and I said to him, ‘One day we’re going to be stars, and he said, ‘You first.’” Mo’Nique said. “And we walked this red carpet together tonight. Sidney, I will love you more than you will ever know, baby. I celebrate this award with all the Preciouses, with all the Marys — I celebrate this award with every person that’s ever been touched. It’s now time to tell. And it’s okay.”
