Taraji P. Henson nominated for Academy Award

Taraji P. Henson has been nominated by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role. The nomination comes for her portrayal of Queenie in “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.”

I’m excited for Henson as well as the other 12 nominations that this movie received.  It’s a great film in the “Forest Gump” mold with a little more bite.  I was disappointed that Cate Blanchett wasn’t nominated because  she carried the second half of the film.

Anyway, props to Taraji on the Academy nod.  I do have to say that my favorite performance by Ms. Henson from last year was her work along side Jamie Foxx in the “Just Like Me” video.  Enjoy!
