How fortuitous that on the eve of new Oscar winners being announced, a former recipient went public with her complaints.  Mo’Nique gave an interview to The Hollywood Reporter claiming that winning the 2010 Best Supporting Actress Oscar wasn’t all it was cracked up to be.  “It should come with more respect, more choices, and more money.  It should and it normally does.  I thought, once you won the award, that’s the top prize – and so you’re supposed to be treated as if you got the top prize.”  Let us not forget – one role (even an Oscar-winning one) does not a career make.  And, if we know anything about Hollywood, it gives you what it wants, not what you think you deserve.  According to sources, Mo’Nique was less than pleasant to work with and uninterested in campaigning for the Oscar (a win would mean more money for the studio).  A few months ago, Lee Daniels called her to say, “Mo’Nique, you’ve been blackballed”.  I was blackballed once…didn’t really care for it.
