The Golden Globes aired Sunday night, and the big names in Hollywood were in attendance, including Julia Roberts, Matt Damon, Taylor Lautner and hundreds more.

My favorite moment of the night was when Mo’Nique won the award for best supporting actress in a movie for her role in the film “Precious.” 

Mo’Nique is an established comedian and talk show host who is known for being funny. 

She took a big risk taking on such a dramatic character in the film.  She portrayed a woman who abuses her daughter. 

Her performance in the film was powerful. She did so well portraying that character, it  makes you forget that Mo’Nique is an accomplished comedian. 

Mo’Nique beat out actresses Penelope Cruz and Julianne Moore for the trophy. Her acceptance speech at the Golden Globes is posted in the clip below. Click here for a full recap of the Golden Globes.
