"First let me say, thank you, God, for this amazing ride that you're allowing me to go on," she tearfully said as she collected her award from presenter Nicole Kidman.
"Everybody kept asking me did I know my speech and I said: 'No, I don't know what I'm going to say because I don't want people to think I just know I done won something. So, no, I don't know.' But I'm shaking and when I tell you all I am in the midst of my dream and when I look into the eyes of the man that I stood next to at 14 years old and I said to him, 'One day, we are going to be stars.' And he said, 'You first.' And we walked this red carpet together tonight. Sidney, I love you more than you will ever know, baby."
Mo'Nique, 42, has been married to Sidney Hicks since 2006.
