Not a bad take!

Olivia de Haviland was nominated for best supporting actress and she expected to win. When it went to Hattie McDaniel instead, she ran out of the room crying. David O. Selznick's wife followed her out and scolded her. She told her (accurately) that she would have other chances to win and not to spoil the biggest moment of Hattie's career by making her feel bad.

Hattie McDaniel was required to sit at a segregated table against the back wall. The hotel in which the Oscars were held that year has a strict no-blacks policy but allowed her to attend as a favour.
McDaniel's acceptance speech remains, 80 years on, surely one of the most moving in Academy Awards history.

There certainly was a lot of backwards thinking still very much in effect during those times.
It's therefore really saying something that Hattie was not only nominated, but that she also actually managed to win.
