Mo’Nique has won the supporting-actress Golden Globe for her role as a loathsome, abusive welfare mother in the Harlem drama “Precious,” while the blockbuster “Up” has come away with the award for animated film.
The prize Sunday marks a dramatic turning point for Mo’Nique, who was mainly known for lowbrow comedy but startled audiences with her ferocious performance in “Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ By Sapphire.”
The Globe win could boost Mo’Nique’s prospects at the Oscars, whose nominations come out Feb. 2.
