Just as last year's Oscar race saw an out-of-nowhere hit about poor kids in India win Best Picture, this year there's another dark horse about hope amid suffering that's getting all the buzz. Precious: Based on the Novel By Sapphire, directed by Lee Daniels, tells the story of Precious Jones (newcomer Gabourey Sidibe), an obese Harlem teenager about to give birth to her second baby with her own father. Living with her abusive mom (Mo'nique) and barely literate, Precious sees no hope for her future until she enrolls in an alternative school, and a caring teacher (Paula Patton) and a social worker (Mariah Carey) start to show her the way to take control of her own life.
Yes, it sounds grim, but I promise Precious is a journey worth taking. To celebrate the release of this exceptional new movie-- in select cities November 6-- we're giving away one prize pack containing the official poster you see above, a teaser poster, and a butterfly-shaped notebook.
