The mock-up for "The Help" is a lot closer to reality than many would like to admit.
In all the fuss over "The Artist" and "The Descendants", I think the Oscar chances of "The Help" have been underestimated. There's been a buzz about it for ages and it's just the sort of film that the Academy lurves...
I agree with you Eugene ... The Academy do lurve an "issue" film, and racism hasn't been done since Crash [a surprise winner].
