Viola Davis wins Best Supporting Actress | 89th Oscars (2017)

My only question is this: Why in the hell wasn't this woman nominated for BEST ACTRESS?! She was the lead actress in Fences! I find it so weird how almost every black actress nominated for Oscars always end up winning in the best SUPPORTING actress category. Lupita Nyong'o was the same. She wasn't a supporting actress in the film, she was the LEAD actress in that film. It's crazy that Emma Stone won Best Actress for her shitty role in Lala Land and Viola won the same year for a performance for the ages.

👏👏👏

The graveyard bullshit was a little too depression driven for my taste.

She's so deep. An epitome of wisdom...

meryl streep was happy for her friend

I love it love it love it when you can see her previous co-stars (Octavia Spencer, Meryl Streep and Emma Stone) being so happy for her win!! ❤

❤❤❤

well deserved!

What's the name of the man presenting?

They are ALL súper extra talented❤🎉

I just seen this movie. I had see if she had got an award for this movie. To see that caliber of acting was a privilege. She crushed that role. She poured her heart and soul into it. Mr Washington I expected. But her. She put a lump in my throat. Never was a actress more deserving for an Oscar. Bravo!!!

I like her personality

Wow she is everything. These speeches are so beautiful. 😢

Man… Mark Rylance’s “look how nice i am” intro, he even waited for the claps 🫠😂

Well spoken

Love how Viola strides up to the stage when she wins something. She is on a MISSION

Viola: "I became an artist and thank god I did because it is the only profession that celebrates what it means to live a life."
Doctors: I work hundreds of hours so you can live life, but sure thing ...

I love this.

She's amazing, loved Fences. Awesome to see all the actresses and actors who were genuinely happy for her. It showed on their faces.

Fences❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👏👍

Classy speech; classy lady. Wonderful actor.

Just finished reading her memoir and to see her speech now…. I’m just at a loss for words. Viola you deserve this and more! I’m so happy to see her success and I pray that she continues to share us with her talent on television.

she needs an oscar for all these speeches. Im crying here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

she is so amazing

I couldnt have a viola name ...
Yet With gods help i will have a little girl named by her my little viola❤

This outstanding actress is a legend by own merits. Her passion gets us through the screen, and her truth becomes yours. What a jewel!

Viola is the best living actress to ever be on the stage

Viola Davis amazing!

I can't wait to see her as Dr. Gaul in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

WELCOME TO THE HUNGER GAMES FAMILY,
V. DAVIS!!!

She’s an EGOT

❤

There's always something about her speech.... she's literally making grown men to cry❤

VIOLA

An Oscar speech worthy of an Oscar!

🗣️‼️‼️‼️‼️🖤

🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦❤❤❤

She is WEARING that red!!! 🥰

The man in the beginning dropped a few bars too. “The thing these films made me remember and think about was the difficulty, something that women seem to be better at than men, of opposing without hatred.” I think that was a beautiful way to introduce such powerful women

"You take troy, you take and you don't even know how to give" ♥

She’s literally so beautiful ❤

After reading her book this speech made me cry. She's an incredible woman. Highly recommend her book. Meryl Streep by Viola Davis' words, is kind and humble... a great conversationalist. Denzel... oh man. I feel like I know them all. Such power in that room. So much talent. Tears are rolling down my eyes

Chillzz

😭😭😭😭😭❤

Viola is the best actor on the planet!Second to none & she should've won best actress for Fences & 2 other Oscars!

After listening to her boook my God!!! Yasss a beautiful story!!!

Esta dama llego toco mis profundos sentimientos con la pelicula ..Vidas Cruzadas
Soy empleada domestica y mi madre hizo el mismo trabajo en los años 30" trabajaba para una familia de colonos Alemanes al Sur de Chile en un pequeño pueblo de la Patagonia llamado Llanquihue
Tambien en aquella epoca habia diferencias sociales y de raza mi madre trabajo para tres generaciones de esa
familia Alemana muchas cosas me conto de esa época
Al ver la pelicula no solo se noto lo gran actrices que son sino tambien como nos emocionan al plasmar historias pasadas pero reales❤❤🤩🤩🤩

and yes i did spy chris evens behind denzel and yes i did rewind and watch it again and yes I am trying to stop myself from doing it a third time

I LOVE DENZEL SO MUCH.

One brilliant actor. ❤
