Restraining her tears as to assert a state of calm, Mo’Nique graciosuly accepted her award for winning the 2010 Golden Globe Best Supporting Actress. Delivering a pure, heartfelt speech, Mo’Nique accepted the accolade for her role as Mary, an abusive mother, in the Lee Daniels’s film, Precious (based on the novel Push, by Saphire).

The forty-two year old famed comedian (turned actress & talk-show host) had many to thank (most notably, husband Sidney Hicks). ‘I’m shaking,’ she said. ‘And when I tell y’all I am in the midst of my dream, and when I look into the eyes of the man that I stood next to at 14 years old and I said to him, ‘One day, we are going to be stars.’ And he said, ‘You first.’ And we walked this red carpet together tonight. Sidney, I love you more than you will ever know, baby.’

Adding to her thankfulness were compelling words of wisdom for today’s youth to abide. ‘Dream the impossible dream. And don’t believe the sky is the limit. Go above it.’

In regards to director Lee Daniel’s genius, she said, ‘Mr. Daniels has put out so much great work but never really gotten the recognition for his brilliance. So tonight, the world got involved. The world said we think this is a great project.’

The underdog victory has now set Oscar discussions ablaze. Time will tell.
