She later won the award for Best Supporting Actress, saying in her speech that she would “dedicate this to the downtrodden, the under-served, the underprivileged, overtaxed, whether emotionally, physically, or financially." Spencer said she would also dedicate her award to civil rights leader, Medgar Evers, whose murder is portrayed in the movie. Backstage, she talked to E! reporter Ted Casablanca, about the challenges women face with their weight.

"Women would be much happier if they ate. I know I sure get a headache when I don’ t eat!"

"But, you know what?" Octavia said, picking up her heavy SAG trophy, "I’m just gonna lift this baby a few times to lose that little bit of weight I need to!"

Viola Davis shined as well, in an embroidered Marchesa gown. I barely recognized her! Her hair was gorgeous and the short curls frame her face well.

She won Best Actress, and thanked actresses Cecily Tyson and Meryl Streep for inspiring her to become an actress. She also went on to say how much she loved working with the cast.

"The ensemble is just a group effort, brought together to create a singular effect, and all these actors on the stage gave up their ego and were able to just work. And it’s been such a joy to be a part of this cast."

I think all three women glowed on-stage, and loved Emma Stone’s black Alexander McQueen gown against her pale skin. And I loved the fact that it was short!

I normally snore through the Oscars, but maybe this year I’ll watch to see if Viola and Octavia “clean up” there as well. The Oscars are live on February 26th. Are you watching?
