Viola looks so youthful and amazing with her hair like this.
Interesting. I think she looks a bit more youthful and amazing with her hair in it's natural state, but she is still gorgeous here.
@@blkboentinquiry3553 yep. i like her MORE with her natural afro hair (and im not being biased here. im not African, im Indian, just in case someone's wondering)
Any human may be a mass of contradictions: churchgoing, party-loving, humble, boisterous, charitable, haughty. Many of us can be different things at certain times or places, and often different things all at once. We are complex, layered, smart, emotional, thoughtful, serious, humorous, and all that. I've been them and witnessed them.
The way you said that? God bless you.
Omg this is so true. I see it in myself and in others!
well said!
This is profound.
And character development is based on layers. So true
Viola is so gorgeous talented and breath of fresh air.viola that film I watched 15 times your acting superb. Powerful image
I love you Viola Davis beautiful black woman
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️❤️
She is, both inside and out!
@@dddddadadad1796 I meant all the way around I just love the woman that she is period thanks
@@dddddadadad1796 NO BECAUSE SHE IS INDEED A BLACK WOMAN AND WE ARE PROUD OF THAT FACT
@@dddddadadad1796 shut up 😩
I like your character Viola Davis you are always telling how it is. Thank you Oprah for the opportunity you have giving the black community to show their beautiful wonderful and excellent talents and they know that they are smart.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I recently learnt about another hidden figure, Samuel Ejikeme Okoye who contributed a lot to astronomy especially the information about Neutron Stars. One of the examples of what Ms Viola is talking about. Samuel Ejikeme Okoye was an African from Nigeria. Possibly OWN could be interested in his story. As we talk about Hubble, maybe Samuel can also get a telescope or a hall in his honor.
I can listen to viola all day Long everyday
Yes! Me, too!
Truly a beautiful black woman and fantastic actress
Viola is brilliant, talented and beautiful! Absolutely amazing.....
and if you think viola davis is fabulous on the movie screen...WHEN SHE DOES THE STAGE AGAIN...don't miss it. she is a force of nature. the new standard of great american actresses!!!!
Viola Davis goddess!!! You reign supreme!
She looks stunning!
2 Queens.
I just came to say I love this queen 👸
This was a very good movie. I enjoyed her performance so much
One of my favorite actresses ❤
God I love this woman! One of the best female actresses of cinema. She's up there with Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Meryl Streep, Whoopi Goldberg, etc.
Sarah Lieb book is amazing about Ma Rainey
The only person whose speech and pronunciation are perfect and legible! Exactly it ought to be. Even those, who know English not so good (from different countries)can understand her speech! Thank you,Viola , for your attention and respect for the WORD!
The academy award was hers
I always wondered why the movie didn't end with ma rainey's life and what happened after music ..viola thank you for being a giant in my life

If you know someone who doesn't love 💕 Viola Davis. walk always you don't need that type of negative in your Life 😉
Who wants to meet aunt Joyce now? 😊😊
Why'd they cut her off mid-sentence? I want to hear about Aunt Joyce! 😄
That's the Best I ever seen her LOOK ....Great hair & make Up

So we're still not going to talk about how she wore a fat suit for this role? Instead of hiring an actual larger actress?
