Award wining singer and now, Academy award nominated actress, Mary J Blige who grew up in a "war zone" is having a time of her life in Hollywood. The queen of hip hop makes history tonight by becoming the first person in Oscar history to be nominated for both Best Song and Best Supporting Actress in the same year and for the same film. Whether or not she takes home the Oscar tonight, she remains a winner to us all.
Ms. Blige also took the stage earlier tonight to perform the nominated song, Mighty River from the movie "Mudbound"
She stormed the stage looking elegant in a pinkish-red haltered dress with long sparkling earrings. She belted the lyrics as a crowd of back up singers dressed in black attire clapped behind her. A array of clouds appeared on the stage and on the screen while video of the film played behind her.
Mary's performance was introduced by actress Taraji P Henson
Congratulations to the queen....#BlackGirlMagic!!!
