A sensation since its debut at last January's Sundance Film Festival, this draining, soaring tale of abuse and empowerment in '80s Harlem earned all the right Oscar nominations: Picture, Director, Adapted Screenplay, Actress and Supporting Actress (also Editing, a leading indicator of Academy favor). Odds are, though, that Precious will win only the Supporting Actress award. Mo'Nique will have to give all the film's thank-yous.
