Yeah!! Mo'nique got that Oscar baby. She won it and just like I predicted because she got all them awards and in spite of the grumbling(You can't ignore talent), the girl went out there and pulled it off. She got a flower by the family of the late Hattie McDaniel for the ceremony; To hear tell, it's the same flower worn by Ms McDaniel when she won, she wore it on her dress. Mo' wore it on her hair. She donned a lovely blue gown and God bless her, she remembered this woman all but forgotten from black cinema history; Twitter trended Ms McDaniel all that night; I was so happy to see that. to know that even though a person lived and died, they still live on and Monique did that when she remembered her in her speech.
Now granted, we have had MORE people in THIS decade to win the Oscars than in all the decades before, but perhaps in our own way, with a black President and all, things are changing. I hope so. I truly do. God bless us all.
