Oprah (a producer) teams up with Denzel Washington (as a director) to create what looks like an Oscar- worthy film, set to release on 25 December 2007

A drama based on the true story of Melvin B. Tolson, a professor at Wiley College Texas. In 1935, he inspired students to form the school's first debate team, which went on to challenge Harvard in the national championship.

Also co-stars Forest Whitaker. Two Oscar winners plus Oprah sound like a great collaboration.
