Isn't that PRECIOUS

Here's a shocker. Director Lee Daniel's underdog film, Precious: Based on Push a novel by Sapphire has won the People's Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival. Earlier this year, Precious won both the Grand Jury and the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival. Precious is the first film to win the Audience Award at both film festivals - EVER! HA!

Industry people apparently dissed the film because it is directed by Lee Daniels (Shadowboxer) and stars Mo'Nique and Mariah Carey. Lionsgate is distributing the independently financed Precious and have recruited Tyler Perry AND Oprah Winfrey to sell the film.

There is book: Precious (Push Movie Tie-in Edition) (Vintage Contemporaries)
