This 4:00 min YouTube video is from the Tribecca Film Festival with director Lee Daniels and Precious, Gabourey Sidibe. Daniels talks about the getting the rights for the film, different feels of the film, and how he cast Mariah Carey. It is also interesting to see Gabourey Sidibe in an interview since none of us have seen her before she became Precious on screen. Check it out and let us know what you think!
As good as first time actor Gabourey Sidibe (Precious) was, I feel Mo'Nique was unbelievable as Precious' mother. What did you think of these two, or any other, performances in the film? Will Mo'Nique be seen on the red carpet was nominations are handed out? Let us know what you think!
