I'm with Rashad. Many people have "played the game" that Lee has talked about and still get Blackballed. Especially when it comes to African American women in Hollywood. Many play the game and STILL don't get the recognition that they deserve (Angela Bassett is a prime example, she doesn't even get invited to the Oscars and she's an Oscar nominee). Octavia Spencer has won an Oscar and still doesn't get great roles. I respect Mo'nique for not putting too much emphasis on an accolade. She has stated that the movie and the performance were the reward, not the acting awards that came after.
