Mo’Nique looking beautiful in a royal blue silk jersey Tadashi Shoji dress and fresh off her wins at the Screen Actor’s Guild, Golden Globes, BAFTA and NAACP Image Awards, has officially swept the awards season by taking home the coveted Oscar for Best Supporting Actress!
paid tribute to Hattie McDaniel (first African-American to win an Oscar for her role in Gone with the Wind ) by wearing a royal blue dress and a floral adorned hairdo. Hattie McDaniel also wore blue 70 years ago when she took home the gold statue. “The reason why I have on this royal blue dress is because it’s the color that Hattie McDaniel wore in 1940 when she accepted her Oscar. The reason why I have this gardenia in my hair (is) it is the flower that Hattie McDaniel wore when she accepted her Oscar. So, for you, Ms. Hattie McDaniel, I feel you all over me, and it’s about time that the world feels you all over them.”
Kudos to the other nominees from Precious including Gabourey Sidibe (nominee, Best Actress), Lee Daniels (Best Director) and WINNER Geoffrey Fletcher for Writing, Best Screenplay Adaptation.
Mo’Nique, known for her unshaven legs, was asked what would happen if more women in Hollywood didn’t shave and she responded They would win Oscars”. She is a comedian afterall!
Congratulations Mo’Nique!!!!!
