Octavia Spencer was named best supporting actress at the 69th Golden Globes Sunday for her turn as the sharp-tongued maid Minny Jackson in the civil rights era drama ‘The Help,’ based on Kathryn Stockett’s novel. Spencer was nominated in the category alongside her ‘Help’ costar Jessica Chastain.

I was scared to death to play [Minny],’ Spencer told The Times last year. ‘They hyped it up to the studio: ‘She’d be great, she’d be great,’ and then I’m thinking I don’t know if I’d be great... When I finally stopped judging Minny and I embraced her, then I was happy.’
