Lupita Nyong'o, Oprah Winfrey and other A-listers cover THR

THR, the magazine rounded up a group of top actresses, 12 Years a Slave's Lupita Nyong'o, Emma Thompson (Saving Mr. Banks), Amy Adams (American Hustle, Her), Octavia Spencer (The Help, Murder, She Wrote), Julia Roberts and Oprah Winfrey (The Butler) for the Actress Roundtable.

The hourlong conversation will air in December and features the actresses giving advice and talking about their ups and downs. Here a snippet that lead Oprah to tears.....

Whose career would you love to emulate?
NYONG'O: Hold on. (Takes a tissue.) When I was a little girl, the first time I thought I could be an actor was when I watched The Color Purple.
WINFREY: Oh my God, give me a tissue.
NYONG'O: I grew up in Kenya, and a lot of our programming was from all over the world, and we didn't see ourselves onscreen. It was very rare that you'd see people that look like me. And there was Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah and everything. It's so meaningful to be sitting here beside you.
WINFREY: It is equally meaningful for me
 Awwwwwww*****grabbing my own tissue*************
