Oprah amazes in trailer for new Martin Luther King Jr., biopic, 'Selma'

The first trailer for Selma, a new film about Martin Luther King Jr., and the civil rights movement has dropped, and we’re still trying to catch our breaths after watching it.
The film specifically follows King during the marches between Selma and Montgomery, and you can feel the emotion and tension in every beat of this trailer. The film opens in limited release Christmas Day, so it just makes the cut for this year’s Oscars, and we think the Academy will definitely be paying attention. David Oyelowo’s performance as King is the clear standout in the trailer, but make sure you don’t miss Oprah as civil rights activist Annie Lee Cooper. She’s just barely in the trailer, but the few moments that we see her are powerful. We can’t wait to see more. Watch the full trailer below.

Desmond Elliot prays for Ini Edo to get pregnant There has been a call for prayer for one of Nigeria’s finest actresses, Ini Edo, to conceive before the year runs out on one of the numerous Facebook accounts ascribed to actor, Desmond Elliot. In the message, Nigerians were asked to say amen to the prayer that the Nollywood diva, who has put smiles on a lot of faces in the country would have a reason to smile before the year runs out. The message read, “We all know actress, Ini Edo, has been married for a while now without any issue. Many of us have laughed at her, insulted her, judged her without knowing the pains she goes through indoors. She has entertained us, made us laugh and has inspired many of us. Today, let us come together and pray for her. Ini Edo, this year, 2014 will not pass you by, you will not only get pregnant, you will also give birth safe and sound. As you write AMEN to this, may God answer all your hidden prayers. Why not write amen?
