Mo’Nique Wins Oscar For Best Supporting Actress
First let me say congratulations to Mo’Nique for winning an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in the film Precious inspired by the book PUSH. There have been negative comments thrown at the film and at Mo’Nique herself, but last night Mo’Nique accepted her award with class. I understand people have mixed feelings about what the film conveyed. However, just because the face of this movie was black, does not mean that it is solely a black story. Often times we shun the youth and never tell their stories. I have met many “Preciouses” and “Mary Joneses” in my life. This story IS…REAL. So many young people silence themselves and hold the burden of an ugly act. There are so many parents who are behind bars because of this act. There are also many parents who have taken the matters of law in their own hands with these predators, one of these parents is an uncle of mine. So before we judge the surface of a story, read the pages and dissect the message being portrayed to you. Be aware of your child’s behavior and LISTEN to them. This issue is waaay bigger than Mo’Nique and I feel that Lee Daniels and the Precious cast understood that. I wish that the rest us of could understand the bigger picture as well. Now I present to you Mo’Nique’s acceptance speech…

I also want to congratulate Sandra Bullock for FINALLY winning Best Lead Actress in “Blind Side.” This was her first Oscar and first nomination. I am genuinely happy for her. She is a true talent and she definitely deserves that award. Who would have ever thought a comedian and a romantic-comedy actress would receive those types of accolades? It just lets you know that talent has no labels.
