Movie: The Help
Book: The Help, by Kathryn Stockett
Nominations: Actress In a Leading Role, Actress In a Supporting Role (1), Actress In a Supporting Role (2), Best Picture
My Thoughts: This was a book I had actually read before the movie was made, and I loved it. I honestly think this is one of my favorite books. The time period is interesting, and Stockett does a fantastic job of painting a picture that seems so real. It is thought-provoking. The book also features an ensemble of characters, rather than one main character and many supporting characters—every character is so different in terms of their experiences, what drives them, what motivates them, and the decisions they make, and that is something that is unique. I also love that the book is a story of determination, just as the book is a product of Kathryn Stockett’s determination.
