No running on stage disheveled saying "Thank you, Jesus" and not being able to appropriately thank everyone behind the award. Even though her career has taken a slight tumble ever since, I always look at this clip when I need a definition of grace.

    Tbh, I never thought I would ever see her portraying a character that was not funny and actually demonstrating some fine acting skills. This will always be her best role (besides Nikki Parker), as she put so much behind the performance and put the raw and gritty emotions behind it. I was so respectable of her as a comedian, but as an actress, I am a lot more than I was before. She has truly come a long way, and I hope she does more roles like this along with her stand up comedy. Love you, Mo'Nique 😘🌟🌟👏👏👏

      Daekwon Da Prophet what people always overlook is that in order to be funny you really need A LOT of talent. People don't take comics seriously because it doesn't seem hard because it's light and fun, but it is. To be dramatic usually takes you to a darker place so people notice a dramatic performance more. But people need to remember that funny people turn excellent dramatic performances, but not a lot of dramatic actors can be funny.

    Monique deserved 3 OSCARS for her portrayal! The Golden Globes are pretty much indicative of who will win the OSCAR so they weren't surprised; to even be nominated for an OSCAR is an honor....they knew she KILLED IT!!!!!

    In total, eleven black women have won acting Oscars. Nine have won for Best Supporting Actress: Hattie McDaniel, Whoopi Goldberg, Jennifer Hudson, Mo'Nique, Octavia Spencer, Lupita Nyong'o, Viola Davis, Regina King, Ariana DeBose and Da'vine Joy Randolph. And only one won (Halle Berry) for Best Actress. That's gotta change!

    I think people who are only equating her comment about "politics" to mean race is short-changing her message. Don't forget that a lot of Oscar season involves actors schmoozing in Hollywood to get a nomination (making sure your film is seen and has buzz to carry it over for three months) and once you get a nomination, you have to do all the publicity rounds and behind-the-scenes type of networking in order to "win favor" with a lot Hollywood who also happen to be members of the Academy. A lot of people have spoken about it. In this particular year, Mo'Nique refused to campaign for an Oscar and wanted it to only be about voters picking the performance they liked best. So, when she talked about "politics" she was really talking about that. Of course race does play as some movies need more campaigning than others and some films are simply going to be seen by more members based on their tastes which can be shaped by their own life experiences and what resonates with them. Look at the Academy demographic (race, gender, age, socio status, geography, industry) and you'll see what movies tend to be up their alley.

    I don't know how to feel watching this. At the time this movie was out, I wondered aloud to a friend how Mo'Nique, a comedienne, could so become the awful woman that this character was. His response was that many comedians became so from a place of pain - laughter through tears, basically. Now, to have Robin Williams, one of the funniest people ever, have taken his life, just brings that conversation back. Breaks my heart.

Its such a strong ass, unforgettable performance. Nobody else could've done it like she did.

    so eloquently put. That final scene is what earned her the oscar. While she is the antagonist of the film, you can't help but pity her for the abuse she also suffered from having made a poor decision to be with the kind of man that would turn out to be precious' father. All the while, it is still her own fault as she was an adult that was supposed to be making adult decisions. And because she refused to do so, her daughter suffered even worse than she did. All this captured in one scene! Bravo!

    I just don’t know what to make of the way Hollywood has treated her. You hear all this talk about her difficulty and her attitude, but it seems to me she’s simply an extraordinarily talented woman who knows her worth and demands it to be recognized and compensated. There’s nothing whatsoever wrong with that. I hate that we’ve missed a decade or more of her onscreen, and I hope we see so much more of her in the future.

Everyone thought she was talking about racism, when in fact she was talking about how Academy always gives the Oscar for the actress who campaigns hardest for the award and has the best publicity.

She speaks with such intelligence and that's not something I hardly ever pick up on her when she was in movies before Precious. I feel like when you win something like this it's great to honor the ones that came before us and to reflect on all of the lessons before that big moment and she did so I applaud her. Congratulations!!!!

    Notice how Monique didn't hug Lee Daniels when she first stood up or even mentioned his name during her acceptance speech. When questioned about it her excuse was that she already did on all the other award shows. However, the Academy Awards is way bigger and meaningful than the other award shows. Without Lee Daniels there wouldn't be no Precious or Oscar for Monique and of course now no Empire for her. If somebody gives you an opportunity of that magnitude the least you can do is be humble and thank the person who put you up there. I hate politics too but they exist EVERYWHERE not just Hollywood. That's just the way it is.
