Gabourey “Gabby” Sidibe Starts the Award Season Right

A new crop of Oscar prospects crammed the red carpet at what is widely considered Tinseltown’s award-season starting gate: the Hollywood Awards.

“I think I was extremely naive when I showed up here tonight,” giggled New Hollywood Award winner Gabourey “Gabby” Sidibe, who plays the title role of an abused daughter in “Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Saffire.”

“This is a big thing,” she said.

Sidibe who plays Claireece Precious Jones. A character who endures unimaginable hardships in her young life. Abused by her mother, raped by her father, she grows up poor, angry, illiterate, fat, unloved and generally unnoticed. So what better way to learn about her than through her own, halting dialect.

“Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Saffire” includes a cast featuring Mo’Nique, Mariah Carey & Paula Patton to name a few will be at select theaters on November 6th.
