A woman who only showed up for a few minutes in "Doubt" and completely OWNED a scene that MERYL STREEP was in. Only a few people alive can do that. Viola Davis? She crushed it. 100% deserved that Oscar, she was robbed

I know you mean it as a praise and it was a great show of her talent at that time but right now Viola is so much bigger than just that association. She should be described as the most nominated african american actress at the oscars. The first african american actress to win emmy in a lead role. The only african american actress to win the triple crown of the acting. She's now so much more than that one association with Meryl Streep which landed her her first oscar nom

@Muhammad Ahmed OH. No, I did not mean it that way at all. She's incredible. That movie was my first exposure to Viola Davis and I've been an adoring fan ever since. I'd compare her scene in Doubt to Alec Baldwin's scene in Glengarry Glenn Ross, it was so powerful. Something that just defines the rest of the movie.

Let me tell you… ANYONE who has listened to the audiobook of FINDING ME knows that Viola Davis absolutely BROUGHT HER A GAME. Wow wow wow. It was a #1 bestseller for weeks and in the top 10 for 6 months. SHE DESERVES!!!
Her voice and her laughter are just wholesome 🥰
She is a FORCE all on her own!!
She should get an Oscar & Grammy just for her interviews & speeches!They're so good,genuine & entertaining!
The energy! I was smiling the entire time. Awesome awesome interview. Love her.
The Woman King has become my favorite movie. I saw it twice at the theater and I can't count how many times since I've had the Blu ray. Every time I see it I get a different feeling. Viola Davis is a National Treasure and I love her and the amazing contribution she has made to cinematic history.

I love her so much, she's so wise and beautiful. She does deserve her EGOT. The superstitions are so true in black families. The woman King was fantastic, like the showing of burning a slave block and seeing dark black women representing and leading a important story was amazing.
She is just so beautiful 🤩
Viola Davis, tells the best stories. I enjoy watching her interviews. She makes her stories entertaining.
Also put VIOLA + CATE in a movie together!!!
Well now I REALLY want to see Viola and Cate together in a movie - they’re both so elegant and powerful and I love their friendship 😊
Well I am Serbian and my family growing up was killin us with the saaaame superstitions 😂

She is always a great guest. I usually don't get to the midpoint of the interview with those Hollywood types, (such bores) but she is always engaging.
This woman is a force of nature.
I’ve seen it five times at the theater. I cried every single time! I bought it for my sister for the holidays, she’s watched it three!
Omg, I just loveeeee this woman!!
She is the female Sterling Brown! I see so much resemblance in not only their appearance but their personalities. Both absolute legends 😍
Viola Davis’ Annalise Keating is one if not THE greatest TV character of all time.
I just love this lady in so many ways that i can't explain. Just beautiful and awesome!!

Yeah she doesn’t like that the best acting roles for black actresses are like in the past/civil rights/slave movies where she has to play maids and things. Just wants better contemporary roles in life where she’s basically playing roles that are colorblind

I don't know about the rest of latin America but in Puerto Rico if you sweep over a person's feet and that person hasn't gotten married yet it is believed you're comdemning that person to stay single for the rest of their life.
