Posted on October 21, 2009  | Filed Under Movie Trailer of the Week


The Sundance Film Festival smash hit dramatic feature PRECIOUS: BASED ON A NOVEL BY SAPPHIRE opens in theaters on November 6th. Brought to the screen by out gay filmmaker Lee Daniels, the film took home three awards at Sundance 2009 including the Dramatic Grand Jury Prize, the Audience Award and a special acting prize for star Mo’Nique (also stars Paula Patton, Mariah Carey, Lenny Kravitz and the amazing newcomer Gabby Sidibe as Precious). PRECIOUS tells the story of a severely abused young black woman whose life is turned around by her new teacher, who happens to be a lesbian. indieWIRE.com’s Eugene Hernandez was on the scene at Sundance for director Lee Daniels’ acceptance speech which was so fabulous we can’t resist sharing it here: “This is so important to me,” said Daniels, accepting the audience award prize, “Because this is speaking for every minority that’s in Harlem, that’s in Detroit, that’s in Watts, that’s being abused, that can’t read, that’s obese and that we turn our back on. And this is for every gay little boy and girl that’s being tortured. If I can do this shit ya’ll can do this shit. Thank you very much.”
