Mo’Nique made history on Sunday night when she became the first African American female stand up comic to win a best supporting actress Oscar at the 82nd Academy Awards.
But not everyone was thrilled for her.
The well-heeled audience, including actor George Clooney, stood and applauded enthusiastically when actress Sandra Bullock won an Oscar for her heartwarming portrayal of a white woman who took in a homeless black teenager in the movie “The Blind Side.”
But when it was Mo’Nique’s time to accept her Oscar for her gritty role as the abusive mother in the movie “Precious,” Clooney and several others in the audience couldn’t be bothered to stand. The rude actor remained seated while most of the audience stood and cheered for Mo’Nique.
Yes, this is the same George Clooney who organized the Haiti Relief telethon while the eyes of millions were on him (typical of narcissists). But his refusal to stand in honor and support of a black woman when he thought no one was watching, shows his true colors.
It’s called manners and maybe Clooney should use some of his millions to buy himself some.
