Mo’Nique won the Oscar for best supporting actress. She won for her role in the film “Precious,” in which she plays an abusive mother.
She was my favorite pick leading up to the Academy Awards.
During her acceptance speech, Mo’Nique thanked Hattie McDaniel for paving the way for her. McDaniel was the first black actress to win an Oscar for her role in “Gone With The Wind.”
Mo’Nique’s acceptance speech is posted in the rough video clip below. A photo gallery of Mo’Nique at the Academy Awards is posted at the bottom.
