Wazzup Xclusive | Viola Davis wins big at 74th Golden Globe Awards – Best Performance by Actress in Supporting Role | @wazzuptonight


New York, NY –  Mrs. Viola Davis is living a Great Life! Literally, the last few weeks have been amazing! Earlier this week, Mrs. Davis was presented by Meryl Streep with a Star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.   However, the covenant honor of receiving a star on Hollywood blvd would have to take a back seat to winning a Golden Globe for best performance by an Actress in a supporting role in the Motion Picture Fences, Today.  Wow! What a week.

The 74th annual awards show, hosted by Jimmy Fallon, took place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel to a star-studded event full of the industry elite producers, directors, and actors. Mrs. Viola Davis beat out Moonlights Naomie Harris, Lion’s Nicole Kidman, Hidden Figures Octavia Spencer, and Manchester by the Sea’s Michelle Williams for the prestigious award.

Most noteworthy, this was the fifth time for Viola Davis at the Golden Globes, to no availHowever, the fifth time was the charm as presenter Michael Keaton called her name after reading the nominees.  Davis thanked her co-star Denzel Washington during her acceptance speech.

“Denzel, I’m a friend and a fan,” she said. “Thank you for being an extraordinary leader.” Davis, best known in her roles in The Help and How to Get Away with Murder (ABC), felt confident that her body of work spoke for itself and felt deserving of the honor.

After receiving her award, Davis commented:

“Very seldom does the average person get their due, especially with people of color. It’s always biopics…it’s always someone who did something tremendous in life that changed the scope of our country,” Davis explained. “But I also like the stories of the smaller people. I think that it encapsulates time. I think that it’s universal. And inclusive, and that’s what August did, and all of that, it just felt like a very natural fluid movement to bring it to the screen.”

“To the original Troy, my father Dan Davis, born in 1936. He had a fifth-grade education and didn’t know how to read until he was 15,” she said. “But you know what? He had a story and it deserved to be told — and August Wilson told it.”

Congratulations Mrs. Viola Davis and Family


When an emotional Davi
