Mo'nique grabs Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress

Mo'Nique gave another of her heartfelt acceptance speeches at the 2010 Academy Awards. She first thanked the academy for showing that it can be about the performance and not the politics and then she said, "I want to thank Miss Hattie McDaniel for enduring all that she had to so that I would not have to."

McDaniel was the first African-American nominated for an Oscar and the first African-American winner, back in 1939 for "Gone With the Wind."

Mo'Nique went on to thank Tyler Perry, Oprah Winfrey, an attorney, her BET family, her "Precious" family and her husband Sidney Hicks.

Her Academy Award win for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for "Precious" caps off an awards sweep in that category for Mo'Nique.




She previously said she was not going to write an Oscar speech because the Universe would think she's got a lotta nerve but everyone regarded her as a shoo-in. Mo'Nique also looked just stunning in a royal blue Tadashi Shoji.

For all you haters; Mo'nique is one strong woman that you can't bring down with your stupid comments! So get lost or hang on and admire her character!

Monique is hillarious!! i gotta big head, look at it! WOW

[Kenandave]

Monique is soooo funny! I mean there is never a time that I have not watched her where I have not laughed!!! OMG she just cracks me up...I can't watch Precious because I think I will just laugh and laugh...and I don't want to do that. I just simply love her...she is a crack up but also she gets real on issues and makes you think too. I must say I like how he said to her: "But a Heavyweight boxer isn't as pretty as you." That was a nice and gentlemanly comeback. He gets props for that sweet talk.
