Mo’Nique Wins Oscar For Best Supporting Actress

Comedian/Actress Mo’Nique won her first Academy Award for her role in the highly acclaimed film, “Precious” Sunday (Mar 7).

She accepted this great award with great humility and grace.

“I would like to thank the Academy for showing that it can be about the performance and not the politics,” she said with emotion. “To my amazing husband, Sidney — thank you for showing me that sometimes you have to forego doing what’s popular, in order to do what’s right.” [ABC News]

Mo’Nique’s memorable portrayal of Mary, Precious’ mother who abused her physically, mentally, emotionally and sexually showed the depth of her talent.

Congratulations, job well done!
