Pretty slim chances of her actually being nominated but its is VERY interesting to see that she made the shortlist among all the other actress. What is also surprising is that Paula Patton didn't make it. GO MARIAH!!!

well, this is actually called the LONGLIST.

This is the first round of votes. After this, they choose 5 of these 15 actresses.

It's awesome that Mariah made the longlist, but I don't think she stand a chance to make it in the shortlist.

Wow, to be even in a long list is awesome for Mariah. Mo'Nique is in for sure. It'll be cool to have Mariah added in the shortlist. Besides with the headlines and attention Mariah's getting right now, it'll be hard to ignore her. Also, lots of people seem to love her performance in Precious whether or not they are a fan of her (music-wise) or not (acting-wise)...they seemed to be surprised how good she was in this film. A lot of my friends who are not Mariah fans who has seen Precious were surprised to see that it was Mariah playing Mrs. Weiss or that she was pretty good playing that character without getting distracted that she was Mariah Carey like people would when they see Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise, lol. They all said that she was pretty good and that she made them believe she was Mrs. Weiss. Not too mention, her lines from the movie were the ones they could remember the most or like to role play when they think of Precious movie. They love her line when Precious told her to change the subject and she said, "But you're gonna have to talk to someone if you want your check, sweetie."
