for best picture and the guy who played Easy E for best actor or best supporting actor. I loved that movie. Great ensemble piece. I'm partial to it because I love the music. I know it whitewashed some stuff like Dr. Dre being bad to women and Suge Knight was almost too nice in the movie, lol. But any long and complicated story has to be summarized to tell it clearly on film. I thought it did a great job at highlighting a lot of the main information. I found it very entertaining. 'Bye Felicia.'
