Mo'nique deserved that Oscar all the way ! She DID THAT. Rest in peace Robin Williams 😔 I miss him dearly.

She deserved this. I was legit scared of her in that movie. Comedians can be serious actors as well if they're given the opportunity.

Monique really had no competition that year.

she walked up there like a boss. she owned that award

She 1000% deserved the Oscar.

The way Mo'Nique approached that stage you could see the sheer willpower of trying not to break down in emotion in front of everyone! Very classy, beautiful woman...

No one knows this, but Monique's attire is holding a secret. Her blue dress with gardenias is paying homage to Hattie McDaniel, the first African American actress to win an Oscar, who wore the same attire when she won for her role in Gone with the Wind.

Her acting in Precious blew my mind. She really poured her heart into an incredibly difficult role

I love how Mo'Nique not only won her Oscar but how she accepted it. Such poise, such power. She had faith in her talent, in her performance, and knew exactly what to say. 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.

Hattie McDaniel wore a blue dress with white gardenias on her hair when she received her Oscar trophy so did MoNique

No actress ever deserved this Oscar like Mo'Nique

One of the most deserved Oscars ever

Damn she not only won she was handed that award by the Great Robin Williams

"First, I would like to thank the Academy for showing that it can be about the performance and not the politics."

She's the only person who deserved that Oscar that year

Love how she mention Hattie McDaniel.

That performance was old school. Method. Real. Gritty. Amazing. The woman needs more roles and we need to see her act, because her talent is breathtaking.

She looks absolutely stunning.

What a dignified acceptance speech for a memorable performance. She managed in her closing scene to actually make me feel compassion for what was a truly loathsome character. That's great acting.

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 😘🌟🌟👏👏👏

I love how she accepted this award. She is so graceful and put together and she speaks so eloquently and with such power.

I'm mad that Hollywood blacklisted her... She is a giant on the screen and she deserves to return to act like the award winning actress that she is...

What makes this even more special is Robin Williams addressing this award to her! RIP, we are still missing you

I just finished watching Precious and Mo'Nique's final scene took my breath away. Acting performances don't usually leave a profound impact on me while watching the film, but hers did. That last scene made me realize that this was a master at work. Especially for a character as despicable as hers, for Mo'Nique to give her dimensions, make her understandable, even sympathetic at points, is nothing short of amazing. So well deserved!!

One of the greatest performances ever on film. So authentic and real that I forgot I was watching a fictional story.

I was so consumed by the power of her performance, I absolutely felt genuine hate and disgust for 2 straight hours. She was fantastic. Much deserved!

This puts tears in my eyes seeing Robin Williams..RIP. Congrats Mo Nique!

I don't care what they say about her not playing the politics game and all that like COME ON isn't this BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE... a performance in a movie? Like God Mo'Nique was so amazing in Precious I knew when I saw her bits on the trailer she'd be Oscar material. I am still so happy Mo'Nique won the Oscar because like hello, she deserves it!

Her character and performance in this movie moved me beyond words. I remember as a psych nurse I was part of a team meeting when an abusive mother was told her children were being taken away. The woman was so broken which led to this. Monique’s performance brought back this memory. Unbelievable.

It was mandatory to come back and watch Mo’niques acceptance speech after her Club Shay Shay interview! Bringing a tear to my eye.

She deserved that Oscar big time. That was NOT an easy role and it probably took everything she had to keep it together.

She was fabulous in "Precious." Totally deserving win, and a beautiful speech.

I watched Precious today it was also FRIGHTENING how well she played that role! And Dammit Robin 😭😭😭😭 still why did you have to go

Nobody else had a chance to win against Monique..she was just so incredible..

She's so classy, calm and collected. I love her speech and her composure.

So proud of Mo'Nique. She definitely proved that she is a comedian that can be just as successful when doing serious work.

100% based on performance. How amazingly BRAVE was she to play that AWFUL woman?! She knocked it out of the park. This role was like Hoffman in Rainman and Penn in I Am Sam. Pure brilliance! I pray God has set her soul at peace after that darkness. 🤗

Who’s here after the club shay shay interview? 😩

Some of the best acting I've witnessed. Comics truly are the best actors. Fitting for Robin to give the award. Bravo.

To have a fellow and legendary comedian present, the award was the icing on the cake. RIP Robin Williams

I miss him. RIP Robin Williams!

One of the most deserved Oscar winners of all time. Her performance was top notch. Powerful yet emotional performance for a characters that I believe no one will do the same or at par as what Mo’Nique has given.

And do you know out of all the winning African American Actress who have Won the best supporting Award Mo'Nique is the only one to have mentioned Hattie McDaniel, the First African American to EVER win an Oscar, in 1940

"the performance and not the politics" Here's living proof. A legendary performance is acknowledged

One of the most deserved wins in Academy history. She gave a harrowingly real performance.

Monique always speaks with so much CLARITY and conviction

My god...This is one of the best performances of all time, and one of the best movies that I've ever seen.

Who's here after seeing the Shay Shay interview?

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!!!!!

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.

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 love her husband’s reaction throughout. When she won, he was just like “well, of course, who else?” and then when she said “and Sidney, you were so right” he nodded like “I know I was, baby”

This is one of the best acceptance moments. She kept it short, meaningful, and powerful all at the same time.

back when Robin Williams was still alive, wow miss you 😘

One of the best performances EVER in the history of Hollywood, she was one of the most deserved Oscars ever!

The best "Best Supporting Actress" Winner of the last several years in my opinion. I think this was one year when the Supporting Actor winners (Mo'nique/Waltz) were better than the Leading Actor winners (Bullock/Bridges)

Such a well deserved win 👏 She was terrifying in this movie. She transformed into a whole different person. From the little things like the scene with her in front of the TV dancing in her leotard thingy, combing her wig, to the final scene where she admits to letting her man abuse her baby. Its such a strong ass, unforgettable performance. Nobody else could've done it like she did.

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.

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.

The amount of grace, poise and dignity she showed makes my heart swell with pride! Such a powerful performance from a graceful lady. It honestly brought tears to my eyes! She is very deserving and I'm so proud of her!

Everyone in that movie was AMAZING. One of the most powerful and moving films I've ever seen.

“Sometimes you have to forgo doing whats popular, in order to what’s right” She stood on business

Club shay shay brought you here

It was amazing that she won!!! So special. She deserved it she was amazing in Precious

I can't believe Julianne Moore wasn't even nominated for "A Single Man". She was brilliant

Very deserved award, straightforward no-bullshit speech. Great Oscar moment.

Who is here because of Shannon ?

She did a beautiful job. It must’ve been hard for her to play that role, but she slayed it.

I do not understand why when someone is sharing a joyous moment to the world over an achievement let alone a mile stone in their life, people still want to try and put you down. That goes to show that Monique did something right; even the academy noticed her haunting performance. Get over it she is a winner.

Precious is still one of the best movies I've ever seen. The acting was amazing!

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!

She thanked and honored Hattie McDaniel!!!!!

Wow, the first video that features Robin Williams and doesn't have 'R.I.P ROBIN WILLIAMS' as the top rated comment

I was already crying after watching the precious clip. Clicked on this and immediately saw Robin Williams 💔💔

Best Supporting Actress winner EVER!! (My opinion)

She was very respectable in Precious.

Well-deserved Oscar! Monique NAILED that performance

0:41- Ryan Reynolds thinking, "Yep I'm pretty awesome."

I’ve seen her in memes, I think it was from that performance.. crazy that I just found out she won an Oscar!

I love Mo'Nique after all the time I watch the Parkers ! That was really a proud moment not even for her but for me ! A true Mo'nique fan !

My God I miss Robin so much. What an amazing and beautiful spirit he was 😭❤️❤️

Can you imagine being a comedian and getting handed this award by Robin Williams 😊💘

Wow, I forgot that Robin Williams presented her the award

We miss Monique in the big screen!!!! She needs some other roles that display her talent such as this movie did. MY LORD SHE CAN ACT! 100% one of the most deserving Oscars ever.

This was of the biggest surprises I've seen. I remember seeing her in her show thinking she's kinda funny. And then seeing her performance in Precious... I was shocked really. Like wow a complete change of character. She earned it really.

I was so happy for this queen. It was so well deserved. What a hard role.

I guess we all understand now where Mo'Nique was coming from when she said "it was about the performance and not the politics"! Mo'Nique kept it 💯 as always

Well deserved win her performance in the movie was so powerful loved her speech

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.

She walked with such confidence and assurance. So well deserved and she knew it from the top of her head to the tips of her toes 🤩

This was the best speech ever in the Oscars; so true and that was one well-deserved award. And I also love that no one understood what Mo'Nique meant when she said «It can be about the performance and not the politics». 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.

ROBIN WILLIAMS!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I always come back to this video. Such a legend.

Here after Club Shay Shay!! Way to go Queen!!

This movie was so intense.. It didn't even feel like Monique was acting.. more like a documentary. I still cry when I watch that scene with Mariah Carey and Monique

To me this was one of the best speeches for the oscars. I've seen Monique in all of these movies where she is loud and big in personality that you forget the woman that she behind the character. 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!!!!

Even I--who continually criticize Oscar's choices--can't complain here. She was excellent.

Completely deserved her award, pure raw talent, amazing speech x miss Robin Williams every single day :'(

Didn’t know Vera farmiga was ever nominated for an Oscar ? Wow yesss queen hope to see u win one day bcs you deserve it. Also congrats mo’nique fabulous job as Mary, yes mama !!!

RIP Robin Williams! 👼 🕊 and RIP Monique’s career! 😇 🕊 BLESS YOUR SOULS!
