Mo'Nique started her speech saying, "First, I would like to thank the Academy for showing it can be about the performance and not the politics."
She cited Hattie McDaniel, Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey, among others, and ended by saying, thank you "to my amazing husband Sidney for showing sometimes you have to forego what's popular in order to do what's right. And baby, you were so right. God bless us all."
As she walked off stage, reports USA TODAY's Anthony Breznican, she grabbed hold of stage manager of Valdez Flagg and said softly, "Can you just hold me?" And the two hugged in silence for a long time.
