In case you missed it: Mo’Nique takes home a Golden Globe
The 2010 awards show season officially kicked off last night with NBC’s telecast of the Golden Globes, live from the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif. Within the first few moments of the show, Mo’Nique took home the award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the critically-acclaimed Lee Daniels’ film Precious.
If you didn’t know, Mo’Nique created quite the controversy a few months ago with rumors floating around that she refused any promotional appearances for the film at various festivals, citing her BET talk show as a more important obligation.
Whether those rumors were true or not, she definitely deserved this award. Her performance in Precious is unbelievably amazing, and I definitely see an Oscar on her radar. I’ve been following her career ever since she brought out the LOLs on “The Parkers,” so I can’t help but be super proud of her Golden Globes win.
Meanwhile, the star of Precious, Gabourey Sidibe, lost in the Best Actress category to Sandra Bullock and her performance in The Blind Side. I love me some Sandra, and she did a great job in that movie that I hate but everyone else seems to love, but Gabourey’s performance in Precious was much better… so I’m definitely throwing a flag on that play. Who’s with me?
