Viola is a great actress! She is my all time favorite. Simply love her! Every role that she gets, she turns it into something astonishing. She is simply amazing. I have always described her as the female version of Denzel Washington. Yes, she is that good. We, as black people, are so proud of Viola as an actress. She deserves the highest respect for the body of work that she has accomplished. Whatever role may be in Violas future, I am sure that she will give it the intensity that it may call for. Viola can truly handle it with class. Peace.

I haven't seen a lot of her work, but from what I have seen I completely agree with the top choice. Her performance in Doubt was flawless, and the best sequence in the film. Put opposite Meryl Streep (who gave a very powerful performance in the scene) Davis manages to actually steal the film from Streep. Her heartbreak in that scene is actually tangible. This woman is long overdue for Best Actress at the Oscars for sure.

Violas scene in Doubt is so complex.
She knows he will he hurt by his father on the one hand or abused by the priest but her hope is if he can just make it til.
if youve lived with abusive relationships, you know what is to hang your hopes on just being able to endure until BLANK happens. But IME when BLANK, life doesnt change very much.

When I tell you when God gave us actresses like Cicely Tyson, Angela Bassett, Halle Berry, Octavia Spencer, Regina King, Taraji P. Henson, and the divine Viola Davis he made no mistakes because he knew what the world needed. My god! Stellar performance! Just stellar!

You have to consider Doubt was flawless acting wise. Viola only got under seven minutes in the movie and she kind a stole the movie. That scene really made me so sad for little boys because everything she said was a horrible truth about society.

I could watch that scene from Fences and Doubt over and over again - I study her - from the way her mouth subtly trembles to the snot that flows from her nose as she cries real tears - her acting is amazing!

Really insightful. As for the honorable, I first recognized her talent in an episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent in which she played a school safety officer. She was BRILLIANT!

People didnt like the movie the help because it showed the truth of how Black people was treated back then. They want to wash it away from history and act like it never happened.

Ive never seen someone say nothing, and say everything at the same time. Antwone Fisher was the first movie I seen her in, and it was masterful!

Let us see her incredible acting. The annoying voiceover could be cut in half and done as an intro instead of talking over these in scenes.

Love her, and her great talent, but narration is grating, hyper and completely takes away from Davis' performances.
