This Is It Drums Up Oscar Talk!

Aside from its strong box office intake, there's already Academy Award buzz for the Michael Jackson musical doc This Is It...

While it's not applicable for the best documentary category, could the pic be nominated for one of the ten best films at the Oscars? (Yeah, there's gonna be TEN this year.) The hype surrounding MJ is pretty strong!

Sidebar, the King of Pop has earned $72 million in earnings since his death, according to Forbes. Jackson has earned $90 mil in the last year, but $72 mil came after June 25th, and that's not even counting This Is It yet!

The documentary opened wide in 3,500 domestic theaters (and worldwide) last night. Did you see it???
