Mo'Nique walks away as winner during the Oscar Award Show. It was her comments on the Barbara Walters Oscar Night Special about having an open marriage that raised some folks eyebrows. Samuel Jackson did an eye roll to the side,that did not go unnoticed, after she thanked her husband for his support, got folks tongues to wagging. Sam is my man and I would love to know just what caused him to do the eye roll.
