Fresh off her win for Best Supporting Actress, Precious star Mo'Nique broke from tradition in the press room as she worked off her own set of rules. RadarOnline.com was there for the hilarious moment.

Rather than having the moderator call on reporters to ask questions, Mo'Nique took control and did it herself in hopes of rewarding the journalists who spoke to her before she became the toast of the town.

She said she was choosing people "that came to her when no one would," at times jumping over the reporters chosen by the moderator.

"I am a stand up comedian who won an Oscar," the giddy Mo'Nique added. "Woah baby, I tickle me."

No surprise here. She really THINKS she's great... but she's not. Her comedy sucked. Her role in precious was well done but probably a one hit wonder.

Mo'Nique looked fabulous, beautiful dress & color (you guys wrong saying she was a 'worst,' lol). BTW dress & flower in her hair were to honor Oscar winner Hattie McDaniel. And how great that she selected which reporters could ask questions.

Good point about honoring Hattie McDaniels. Flower could also have been to honor Dorothy Dandridge who was never nominated for an Oscar, but did pioneer non-stereotypical roles for Black women in film.

Dorothy Dandridge was nominated for the Academy award for Best Actress in 1955 for Carmen Jones becoming only the third african american to do so at that time after Hattie McDaniels and Ethel Waters.
