Selma

SelmaOur Must-See: Selma This important, powerful film is definitely on our must-see list. David Oyelowo stars at Martin Luther King Jr., and in an interview with NBC at the Golden Globes, Oyelowo told viewers that in order to conquer this huge role with high expectations, Oyelowo delved not only into MLK Jr.'s impact as a political leader, but he really focused on channeling who this inspirational figure was as a man. Moreover, because this film tells such an imperative part of our history, Oprah recently told Ellen Degeneres: "You know what's so exciting too? That in New York, in Boston, in Los Angeles, and Chicago and other major cities across the country, businessmen have come together and they are putting in a fund so that every 7th, 8th, and 9th grader in the city can go see that film...That's big, I've never seen that happen before." Now, Selma's won a Golden Globe for "Best Original Song," by Common and John Legend, and it's up for two prestigious Oscars: "Best Picture" and "Original Song."
