Howard University Lost Hattie McDaniel’s Academy Award
(News One) — After winning the 2010 Oscar for best supporting actress, Mo’Nique noted that she was wearing a royal blue dress, along with a gardenia in her hair, because that’s what Hattie McDaniel wore 70 years earlier, when she became the first African American to receive an Academy Award. “Ms. Hattie McDaniel, I feel you all over me, and it’s about time that the world feels you all over them,” said Mo’Nique, the Baltimore County actress and comedienne who is producing a film biography about McDaniel.
