Travis Hopson of the Punch Drunk Critics sits down with Octavia Spencer star of the new film 'The Help'
She's been nominated for three major awards for her role in "The Help," and it just so happens to be the same number of Spanx she wears on the red carpet! Octavia Spencer told Ellen about getting ready for the Oscars, and the hilarious bet she lost when Barack Obama was elected President!
Octavia Spencer and Jessica Chastain didn't hesitate when it came to taking roles in "The Help." The film, set in MIssissippi during the 1960s, is based on the wildly popular best-selling novel about a southern society girl who returns from college determined to become a writer, but turns her friends' lives - and a small Mississippi town - upside down when she decides to interview the black women who have spent their lives taking care of prominent southern families. Bonnie Laufer from http://www.tribute.ca spoke with Octavia and Jessica about what it meant for them to be a part of this film, the delicious food that was ALWAYS on set and the important message the film delivers.
Not only that, but Octavia prefaced her hug with Spielberg by giving him crazy eyes first.

Oscar® winner Octavia Spencer felt a kinship to her character, the woman who took in young James when he had nowhere else to go. “She plays Aunt Honey, and she actually reminded me of one of my aunts. She was simply a joy,” says Boseman. “I also love her scenes with the two kids [twins JORDAN SCOTT and JAMARION SCOTT] who play James Brown as a boy. Those scenes are a great base for the movie.” Blacktree is at all the hottest events on the planet (award shows, movie premieres and press junkets, fashion shows, etc.) and now BLACKTREE ON TV brings stars to YOU on Soul of the South!
