Reel Access

I have to admit this year's Oscars was by far the best awards I've seen so far. Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin were amazing hosts. I felt that this year's awards had to this beautiful and peaceful feeling to it that it's difficult for me to describe. The night basically owned by newbies. Mo'nique won Best Supporting Actress in "Precious", Sandra Bullock won Best Actress in " The Blind Side" and Kathryn Bigelow won Best Director for "The Hurt Locker" making her the first female director to win an Oscar. 

I was very proud to see Mo'nique win that award and her acceptance speech was inspiring on so many levels. Her outfit which explained later in the press conference was a tribute to the first African American winner, Hattie McDaniel who won Best Supporting Actress in "Gone with the Wind". I did not know about that, but it was awesome and historic to see that things are changing and that people of color are being recognized more. I would like to say congratulations to Mo'nique, Sandra and all the other winners at last night's ceremony.
