Imagine being Melissa in your breakthrough TV role and watch these ladies getting happy for you. Martha was Really funny, then you have Tina and Amy Who were legendary on their shows and if that was not enough, finally you have Edie and Laura, both accomplished drama actresses, with a pack of Emmys, Oscar nominations and Tonys on their behalf.

I believe it was Amy Poehler who came up with the idea as a way to combat a surge in false tabloid stories claiming that women in the industry were fueding and arguing in a warped atttempt to pit them against one another and cause drama. This was her way of showing solidarity and support among women in the industry whilst making a brilliantly executed joke at the same time.

What is so wonderful about this is, everyone knows the usual routine is you stay in your seats & hide your disappointment with a grin. This way, they were all recognised & loved by their fellow actors, the crowd 'got it' and supported it whole heartedly, & when Melissa's name was called, the other ladies smiles were authentic, they were all in on it & no one was left in the audience, with a camera in their embarrassed face

Geez, can't believe this was more than ten years ago.. Melissa, surprised as she was, really deserved the award that year... 🥰

I met Melissa McCarthy in Australia, in Byron Bay, NSW a couple of years ago. I forgot my wallet (it was on the seat of my car in the car park) and she paid for my lunch I had just eaten with my great uncle. The bill amounted to $50. She gave me $50, paid $50 to the cashier and put a $50 note in the tip jar. Generous lady.
