Mo'Nique, Precious
Reality show host and funny lady Mo'Nique is truly one of the queens of comedy—and also an amazing dramatic actress. In 2009, Mo'Nique blew audiences away in the film Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire.
Mo'Nique plays Mary, the horribly abusive mother of the film's title character, Precious. In addition to her first Oscar, Mo'Nique has taken home a Golden Globe® and a Screen Actor's Guild Award® for this gritty supporting performance.
