"Precious"
Stanley Kramer Award
Since "Precious" debuted, director Lee Daniels has become a go-to guy for anyone who has been abused. "They come up to me and just download," he says. "I know the look before they start speaking. There's this deer-in-the-headlights look and they zoom right into you and hold your hand." But there's a flip side, too: "I also know the look of a perpetrator. They look down on the floor as they come up to me. Then they say, 'I'm abusing my kid, I need help.' " Either way, he says: "We made 'Precious' so that no one would ever ignore this girl again."
