Lee Daniels becomes the first African-American to be nominated for a Best Director Oscar. Oprah done did it again, folk. And you just know that somewhere Spike's gotta be mad.

Black people: if you got something you wanna do in life, whether direct a hit movie or run for president, be sure to get Oprah on your side. Seriously.

We weren't the biggest fans of Precious, but that Lee Daniels snagged a Directors Guild nomination -- the first ever for an African-American -- is something to be noted.

Again. Steele and the GOP have no problem pointing out the mote in Harry Reid's eye while disregarding the beam in their own.

Maybe Mo'Nique, Lee, and Oprah and Tyler will win an Oscar -- who can say.  What's for certain is that they're off to a good commercial start, as Precious, the most talked about black film in quite some time, pulled in $1.8 million while playing on just eighteen screens.

But not me baby, I'm too  precious.  Fuck off!
