MoNiques Oscar Flower Meaning

Actress wore royal blue and a gardenia in her hair for the 82nd annual Academy Awards ceremony Sunday for a reason: Hattie McDaniel. McDaniel was the first African American to be nominated for an Academy Award for her role in the epic movie Gone With The Wind. She won, and wore a blue dress and a gardenia in her hair when she accepted her Oscar in 1940. Mo’Nique won the Academy Award for best supporting actress for her work in the movie Precious.
The actress also gave a pre-Oscar interview to Barbara Walters, and there were hints that the two did not get along that well. When Mo’Nique was on “The View,” Walters referred to Mo’s newborn twins as “creatures.” It wasn’t clear what she meant by that, but she did take it back ultimately.
Mo’Nique apparently made Walters jump through some hoops to get the pre-Oscar sit-down, with “very specific hair and makeup demands.” She also granted the interview at someplace other than her house. Walters’ often interviews stars at their home. But according to Walters, the interview went swimmingly, saying, “There was nothing about her that was rude. It’s a wonderful, funny interview. She couldn’t have been more open. If you’re not happy, you don’t answer those questions. I can’t remember when we did an interview in someone’s house.”
