Her Majesty Queen Oprah Winfrey was on hand at the premiere for Lee Daniels’s anxiously awaited film ‘The Butler’, which was held at NYC’s Ziegfeld Theatre last night. Oprah plays the role of Gloria Gaines, the wife of ‘The Butler’, Cecil Gaines, who is portrayed by Academy Award-winning actor Forest Whitaker.
Aside from ‘Fruitvale Station’, ‘The Butler’ is probably another film that will go on to compete for an Oscar next year, although, sadly, the track record for African-Americans at the Academy Awards isn’t so great, but there’s always room for surprises! Since Lee Daniels got snubbed at his previous attempt with ‘Precious’, so maybe he’ll have better luck this time around…
Plot: “Cecil Gaines works as a White House butler during eight presidential terms from 1952 to 1986. He witnesses — and becomes involved in — the political and social turmoil of the period.” (Source)
