thanks @Siringi for ashaming the doomsayers for the family simply because they don't like Prof.

Congratulations to Lupita...after scooping almost all curtain raiser awards, the Oscar was almost assured. Now her commanding fee per movie has just shot up, big achievement for putting Kenya in the map in such a big stage. Now I'll be all the more excited to catch Non - Stop, I like Liam Neeson.

In other news, I have to watch Dallas Buyers Club coz I thought Leonardo Di Caprio was brilliant in Wolf of Wall Street and it did not win any of the major awards. I think the R rating put it out of contention. Frankly speaking I did not expect 12 Years a Slave to win Best Picture but sometimes Oscars are awarded to make political statements.

Well in Lupita, the ceiling just became the floor...now we await Best Actor in the near future...


The Oscars have been dominated by rich old white men who were very conservative and film was starting to feel the heat of television. In July last year the academy of motion picture arts and sciences elected its first black president and it was a woman which ticks all the politically correct boxes.

If you take a look at the winners in various categories you will note a running theme of political correctness:

Best Picture - 12 years a slave - slavery is a topic that white America does not like to talk about let alone acknowledge yet it has and continues to affect many.

Best Picture Director - Steve McQueen - first black director to win any Oscar

Best Actor - Matthew McConaughey - HIV

Best Supporting Actor - Jared Leto - Transgender

Best Supporting Actress - Lupita Nyongo - 1st African

Best Directing - Alfonso Cuarón - Mexican

I watched 12 years a slave and an hour into the movie Lupita has not made an appearance. The movie is carried by the performance of Chiwetel Ejiofor & Michael Fassbender. Julia Roberts in August: Osage County plays a bigger role than Lupita.

It is curious to note that both Steve McQueen and Lupita Nyongo cannot be described as your typical African Americans given that they are not direct descendants of American slaves. So just like Obama white American has awarded them as a way of cleansing their souls.

I actually watched it and wondered what the fuss was all about. I kept waiting for a great moment but it ended!! i asked myself quietly - is that all? did I watch the right version? but composed myself as i told myself that reality cannot be compared to the action in django!
but who knows why these people give movies oscars? movies like 'no country for old men' , 'hurt locker' e.t.c. are shockingly boring! movies should entertain! in that connection I am waiting for the next DC comic, Stan lee, Star wars and Star Trek releases because reality is just that - boring.

I watched the movie and made similar observations over a month ago. The movie is great but i believe that Lupita's role/acting has been exaggerated maybe for political correctness. This was my comment then: http://www.wazua.co.ke/forum.aspx?g=posts&t=25905&p=10

Watched the movie and it's quite a moving and distressing story on slavery in the 1840s (don't know if Prof Nyongo watched Lupita's nude and rape scenes). The main actor (Ejiofor, the 'slave') and supporting actor (Fassbender, the 'master') are superb. Lupita is also good though, i think judging by her role and performance, she has been overrated. Maybe Hollywood and the film critics were looking for something different this yr, a real 'Nubian' chick....like Lupita.

Nothing to do with goggles. What were your views after watching the movie? What would be your sincere view of her performance if she wasn't Kenyan/African?
