So here we are: Julia Roberts finally got her Oscar, three nominations in. But did she get it for the right movie? Would we still be talking about ERIN BROCKOVICH (those of us who still are) if it wasn\u2019t known as Julia\u2019s Oscar Win? And moving past the awards - how does this modern-day fairy tale hold up today, especially when touting it\u2019s a true story? Lots to talk about in this Real Talk segment, and we dive into it all!
