Octavia Spencer Wins Big Best Supporting Actress

Octavia Spencer Wins Big Best Supporting Actress

 

 

   Octvia Spencer wins for her portrayal as the strong, sassy and opinionated Minny Jackson in the  "The Help".   She seemed fit for the role as she was able to bring the essence of the character to life.  The author of "The Help" based some of the woman's characterteristics on Spencer herself as having met her through the director, whom Octavia is friends with.

 

 

 

"The Help" had lots of traction coming in the 2012 Oscar's with Octavia having the most hype to win for her respective category.  This continues to be ground-breaking as it was recently revealed that the majority of voter's that vote in the Academy are White-males.  In retrospect though, African-American's still have long ways to go as some feel that roles for African-Americans in Hollywood have diminished over the years.  Some have also pointed out that many of the Oscar roles won by African-American's are stero-typical roles.  

 

 

 

Octavia had a moving speech and was cheered with a standing ovation.  The much deserved award almost proved somewhat to much for the actress as she seemed very overwhelmed.  She thanked the people who stood by her and the people who gave her a chance! Congrats!
