Cartoon: Hollywood's Glass Ceiling
Sorry, meant to post this a little while ago! What a nice surprise that such a well-made film by such a talented director actually won--I was really nervous it was going to be "Avatar" (or way worse yet, "The Blind Side").
Drawn for Women's eNews (temporary link here).

Ted and Bendib both have good points, and I certainly have some major political differences with the Hurt Locker, but I still think it was an amazing movie and character study and that she's a very talented director. I'm completely against the unjust Iraq war in every way, but I don't feel the movie necessarily endorses it, or the rather depraved character of its protagonist.
And I don't think it's fair to say that Precious just reinforces stereotypes, as awful as M'onique's character is--have you read the book?
