Gabourey Sidibe plans on bringing her mom as her date to the 2010 Academy Awards, but there is another person who’d definitely love to walk the red carpet with the “Precious” actress.

“Oprah called me and was like, ‘Hey girl, do you want to ride together?’ ” the 26-year-old Oscar contender told PEOPLE at Thursday’s third annual Essence Black Women in Hollywood luncheon.

“I was like, ‘I got it Oprah, calm down. I don’t want to show up with you. People will think we’re too cool.”

We wish Gabourey luck on Sunday.

    YOU KNOW IT’S SO SAD THAT PEOPLE ARE SO IGNORANT THAT THEY HAVE TO ALWAYS BE VERY NEGATIVE ABOUT SOME ONE THAT IS JUST TRYING TO DO SOMETHING POSITIVE WITH THERE LIFE AND BECAUSE THIS YOUNG LADY IS MOVING UP THE SCALE TO FAME, FIRST YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT SHE ALSO IS A VERY INTELLEGENT YOUNG LADY AND IS STUDYING TO BE A PHYSIATRIST, SO LET’S STOP HATING ON OUR OWN PEOPLE AND GIVE OUR SUPPORT FOR A JOB WELL DONE. THAT’S WHAT’S WRONG WITH BLACK PEOPLE WE WANT TO SIT BACK AND CRITISIZE INSTEAD OF GIVING CREDIT WHERE IT IS DUE, BUT CONTINUES TO SIT ON YOUR BUTT AND WANT NOTHING OUT OF LIFE THAT’S WHY YOU’RE ABLE TO FIND FAULT IN EVERY ONE THAT HAS A PROSPERIOUS LIFE AND WANTS TO MOVE ON TO BIGGER & BETTER THINGS. MAY GOD BLESS YOU GABBY AND ALLOW YOU TO REACH THE SKY AND BE VERY SUCCESSFUL IN WHAT EVER YOU SET OUT TO ACHIEVE IN YOUR LIFE.

    Dreamkeeper…you may have a point there…definately something to think about cause I sure as heck dont understand why black women only get nominated or given an oscar when we are depicting negative. I find it isulting.

    Although I hated the movie Precious, mainly because I think it embodied every stereotype black women have had to endure for the last sixty years, and even threw in a new one, pedophelia. We’ve been accused of being lazy, uneducated, unambitious, dirty, etc. But child molestation was a new one for me. I didn’t think that added anything to an already depressing movie and would not have been missed if omitted.

    However, I do like Gaboray Sidobe, we forget that she is not Precious, that’s just a role she played and played very well. It was a stunning performance for a first timer. I think she’s cute and kind of whimsical. Why does size have to play a part in a person’s value like all skinny people are trustworthy and upfront. I hope she continues to get parts because she definately showed us that she can act, but I hope based on her complexion and size, they won’t always be negative roles.

    Oprah chooses to play Aunt Jemima in everything she does which infuriates me. She is possibly the most accomplished black woman in America but never chooses to play roles that exemplify her success. It was one thing when we had to play maids and mammys, Oprah has a choice and still prefers to always play the downtrodden black woman. I haven’t liked her in anything since Brewster Place and she was a mammy in that too. Just like The Color Purple and Beloved.

    Try portraying the successful black woman you are Oprah. Give young black women something to aspire to other than mistreatment and mammydome. Show them that they too can rise up from unfortunate backgrounds and realize their dreams and successfully accomplish their goals.
