Oprah Winfrey confessed that she sees a bit of herself in Gabourey Sidibe.

The chat show queen insisted to present the 'Precious' actress as a nominee at the Oscars, believing they had much in common.

Oprah's lavish praise for Gabourey went on and on, she addressed her as, "a true American Cinderella on the threshold of a brilliant new career. This whole roller coaster that happens to you when you're passionate about something – she wasn't even thinking of being an actress; she just auditioned."


Oprah Winfrey acknowledged Sidibe's acting skills and congratulated her on being nominated alongside Meryl Streep, who is the greatest actress in the world and with Sean Penn, in such a short duration of her acting career.

Oprah Winfrey sure has taken a liking for this beautiful girl. So, we might soon see her at Oprah Winfrey show.
