Put in hard work
Along with Sidibe, Anna Kendrick was also nominated for an Academy Award for her part in Up in the Air. However, according to Gabby, the seas did not part for her in the same way they did for Kendrick.
An Oscar nomination usually leads straight to the top of Hollywood. Sadly, for Sidibe, it was another story.
“I’ve heard the idea that I’m just lucky before. I’ve heard that. I’m an extremely unlucky person, actually. I’m very, very unlucky in a lot of ways,” she told Collider.
“I work really, really hard though. I work really, really hard. An no, the Hollywood seas didn’t part for me in the same way that it might have for maybe Anna Kendrick who was nominated for the first time that year as well, who then went on to star in films and television and the whole thing.”
“The seas did not part that same way for me and I assume that there are a few factors that made that so, but I am still working 10 years later.”
Gabourey Sidibe – career
Gabby was an overnight cinderella story, playing a character whose traits aren’t even close to her own. Her role in Precious is a woman without any self-esteem or future. Sidibe, meanwhile, is a wonderful and charming woman, describing herself as a ‘normal girl, trying to do abnormal things’ on her Facebook page.
In any case, her accomplishment in Precious opened up new doors. She’s been in Yelling to the Sky (2011), featuring opposite Lenny Kravitz’s daughter Zoe Kravitz, and several TV series such as American Horror Story and Empire.
Now, Sidibe’s set to star in the anticipated scary movie Antebellum, alongside Janelle Monae.
“It’s something I’ve had to work at. My first diet started when I was six years old,” Sidibe told Oprah Winfrey in 2009.
“I’ve never been a small girl. One day I had to sit down with myself and decide that I loved myself no matter what my body looked like and what other people thought about my body.”
