OCTAVIA SPENCER (WINS OSCAR PUTS DOUBTERS TO REST)



In  what could be described as an emotional moment at last night's 84th Oscar awards, Octavia Spencer won her first Oscar on Sunday for her supporting actress role as a sassy maid in "The Help." Thereby putting all her doubters to rest!
Spencer, 39, was considered the favorite to win the Academy Award for playing an outspoken maid in the 1960s drama about African-Americans who work for rich white families in Mississippi in the early years of the civil rights era.

Spencer, whose mother was a maid and who had never been nominated before for an Academy Award, got a long standing ovation from the audience as she nervously walked to the stage to accept her award.

"Thank you Academy for putting me with the hottest guy in the room," she said, referring to the golden Oscar statuette.



Fighting back tears and thanking her family and fellow cast members, she said, "I'm wrapping up, I'm sorry, I am freaking out. Thank you world."
