And if I recall .. at the time Hattie McDaniels rec'd this award she wasn't allowed to attend the ceremonies because she was black .. I could be wrong .. but I think that is what I read ..

Yes you're wrong.
She cried too, but showed more class that Halle.

McDaniel also said that her award was a "credit to her race". Why should Berry pretend that she wasn't happy to the first black Best Actress? Even if she hadn't mentioned it, it's not like the press would ignore it.
