Hattie McDaniel Mo’Nique Oscar Dress!

Hattie McDaniel was remembered by Mo’Nique in her Oscar dress and speech. Hattie McDaniel won the Oscar for Gone with the Wind.
She was the first African-American in 1940 to be nominated and win an Oscar for that memorable character “Mammy”.
Backstage, after winning for Precious, Mo’Nique told press: “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, it is the flower that Hattie McDaniel wore when she accepted her Oscar. So for you, Miss Hattie McDaniel, I feel you all over me.”
