As much as I wanted to, I didn't think 12 years was an award worthy movie. I am yet to find anyone who shares the same thought so I am assuming people like this movie only because it told "our" story. How do you decide what's a good movie or what's not? Do you look at the acting, cinematography, editing, music etc. or only the story? Lupita and Ejiofor did a good enough job but something was missing for me. Usiogope daddy!! Jivunie kuwa Muwazua. Think what you like and express your opinion with courage. Stand your ground and have your say. Some will agree with you some will disagree but traitor, no!! you are no traitor for having a contrary opinion and don't ever apologize for thinking for yourself. Movies for actors are about positioning and building a brand. I think Lupita is making all the right moves. She has been busy going to all the TV shows she can creating a buzz at the Golden Globe and the Oscars to come. Whether she wins anything or not by the time this is all over everybody who is anybody in Hollywood will know who she is and that is how you get work. She has got an opportunity to put herself out there and she is doing a great job. The bigger your name the more work you get and the bigger the paycheck you can command. Acting in movies is not like any other kazi ya ofisi where you show up everyday. Here you might get a good movie if you are lucky once a year or once every two years but you must continue to live the celebrity lifestyle everyday..... ni kazi ngumu sana. True that. Whether she wins or not, the nomination is a huge thing. Many would die to get the nomination. Expect to see her in many more movies to come, her career just got started! i.am.back!!!!
