String Bell vs. Wallace for the Oscar? Word is Idris Elba might get nominated for his "Mandela" movie that comes out later this year...However, the real surprise..

IMDB movie boards have been mentioning Michael B. Jordan (guy who played Wallace) getting oscar buzz for this movie "Fruitvale Station". Currently has a 91% on Rottentomatoes.

quote:
Powerful and disturbing.Michael B. Jordan is brilliant. It shows us we can't change the past but with movies like this perhaps we can make a better future.

quote:
Fruitvale Station is a gut punch of a movie. By standing in solidarity with Oscar, it becomes an unstoppable cinematic force.

When I read this I was thinking there was no way Elba was getting nominated for Pacific Rim.

Didn't know about the Mandela movie.

But yeah, Fruitvale Station looks great although I am sick of seeing the commercial during the Zimmerman trial.

Yeah, the Oscar Grant story is fricked up. I still don't understand why the cop just didn't taze him if he was resisting. Their is no possible reason to shoot him even if he was armed which he wasn't. I mean their was another cop already holding him down when he shot him in the back, they clearly had him restrained.

But yeah this movie looks great and Michael B. Jordan is awesome.

Let me guess, the movie makes a convicted drug dealer who sold to kids look like an angel?
