If you missed it, Barbara Walters’ Oscar Night Special, see Mo’Nique’s very revealing interview with Barbara Walters, where she discussed being sexually abused by her brother, her open marriage, & her infamous hairy legs… Her playing Mary Jones in Precious, was a lot deeper for Mo’Nique than some of us might’ve known…[listen below]
FLASHBACK: Below is a flashback of when Mo’Nique was on The View back in 2006, where Ms. Walters referred to her twin boys as “lil creatures”, and Joy was clearly getting under Mo’Nique’s skin…
Lenny & Zoe Kravitz looked beautiful @ last night’s Academy Awards.. Zoe’s look was definitely one of my favorites of the night…and after the show was the after party.. where…Lenny quotes:
“just left the oscars and sitting at Umami Burger with Zoe. Turkey burgers in a tux: super chic.”
I love it!!!! Wait, there’s more…
“Music by Prudence,” won for Best Documentary Short
And then came the acceptance speech, which was rudely interrupted… Read both sides of this story below & see the video if you missed it>>>
This also falls under The BAD & The WTF?! of the night…
Elinor Burkett /HER SIDE:
People are already saying you “pulled a Kanye.” What happened?
BURKETT: What happened was the director and I had a bad difference over the direction of the film that resulted in a lawsuit that has settled amicably out of court. But there have been all these events around the Oscars, and I wasn’t invited to any of them. And he’s not speaking to me. So we weren’t even able to discuss ahead of the time who would be the one person allowed to speak if we won. And then, as I’m sure you saw, when we won, he raced up there to accept the award. And his mother took her cane and blocked me. So I couldn’t get up there very fast.
Can you explain the reason behind the conflict?
BURKETT: The movie was supposed to be about the entire band, Liyana. And the [band members] were very clear they did not want to participate if it ended up being just about one person. The director and HBO decided to focus solely on Prudence . > Wait, there’s more…
During last night’s telecast when announcing the the nominees for Best Screenplay Adaptation, in which they showcased scenes form the nominated movies…The Academy Awards chose to use the scene in Precious, where Gabourey Sidibe’s character goes into the diner & steals a bucket of chicken…WTF?!?.. ARE THEY SERIOUS?
Even now, the morning after, the thought of that pisses me off, and clearly shows sometimes, no matter how many steps we take forward, or how much “recognition” they may give us, they somehow seem to want to take it back to that stereotype of what some of them will ALWAYS view US.
And some of yall may say, no, I’m reading too much into it, but no I think not.. cause of ALL THE SCENES THEY CHOSE TO SHOWCASE FROM THE FILM “PRECIOUS”.. THEY CHOSE THAT ONE!! A picture is worth 1000 words, so what was their message behind that scene?? SMDH!!!
SIDEBAR!.. There was also talk about why Samuel L. Jackson gave that side eye during Mo’Nique’s acceptance speech [see above], but looking at it again, Wait, there’s more…
“The reason why I have on this royal blue dress is because it’s the color that Hattie McDaniel wore in 1940 when she accepted her Oscar. The reason why I have this gardenia in my hair (is) it is the flower that Hattie McDaniel wore when she accepted her Oscar. So, for you, Ms. Hattie McDaniel, I feel you all over me, and it’s about time that the world feels you all over them.”
Hattie McDaniel wore the same-color dress to the 1940 Oscars, when she became the first African-American to win gold.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
FOR “PRECIOUS”
WE ARE PROUD!!
This seems to be the topic of discussion, especially recently with Tameka Foster, ex wife of Usher Raymond. She even takes time to beef on Twitter with V-103′s Elle Duncan, because Elle made a joke about using “RAYMOND”…even though she’s not married to Usher either…[see clip below] Share and Enjoy:
