She's not the new Meryl Streep, she's the first Viola Davis.
What a legend ♥️
Word
Yasss!💛🦋
Fuk Meryl Streep
I have been amazed by Viola Davis for years. What an amazing actress. As soon as I heard that Viola was going to work on Shonda Rhimes project "How To Get Away With Murder" I knew she would win an Emmy. And when I saw her performance in Fences I knew that she would win the Oscar. And Jeffrey is right. The scene with Viola and Meryl in Doubt was nothing short of spectacular. It was like a Master Class in acting.
Indeed ❤️
Viola could take a breath and I would still cry
tigana DEAD ASS
SAME
Viola! Finally!!!
tigana Yea she is incredible
1 deep breath and I would be wiped OUT! She is amazing!
Two amazing quotes that will stick with me from this speech:
1."There is one place that all the people with the greatest potential are gathered. One place. And that's the grave yard"
2."I became an artist and thank god I did because it is the only profession that celebrates what it means to live a life"
Thank you Viola Davis you are fantastic
I think everybody said that
Miles Munroe
@@sd3564 shut up. Viola is one of a kind
@Amanda Cerny your funny lol nobody said anything negative about her you seem like a really negative person
@@sd3564 you did. Everybody said what? Shut up you imbecile
If you didn’t know, Viola Davis won a Tony for the same exact role for the stage play of Fences in 2010
That's awesome
I knew. She deserved it then too. What a brilliant performance by an astute and valued actress. Definitely a woman of substance and character that matters.
So did Denzel
Tony, Emmy n Oscar I LOVE HER
wait, this mean she only needs a grammy to be an EGOT artist omg
That red on her Dark-Skin looks absolutely, positively stunning.
Brittney Washington yes!!!
Brittney Washington and she till this day never, got her skin lighten or anything, Naoimi Camble,Whoppie, same thing, love your self, your skin!!! Just wanted to say that!!
@@katricejohnson9849 and why should she. This is our skin that god gave us.
On ANY skin looks beautiful 😁!!!
+American cutie you haven't studied the colour wheel, then, have you?
This is all fine and dandy but she needs an Oscar for every single role she has ever done.
completely right
When I saw her in out of sight with Clooney and López I knew she was going to win the Oscar! I hate being right! 😍😍
I agree she is a tremendous artist
FACTS
Maybe not suicide squad lmao, but she is underrated
Somebody make Viola an album so she can get a Grammy so she can reach EGOT status
Yah she has EOT that's awesome.
All this time I thought the G stood for Golden globe. Smh learned something new lol
Whats the t stood for?
@@meteor.h A Tony award - for broadway theatre
@@riannekellyreyes2290 thankkssss
“We are the only profession that celebrates what really means to live a life” an artist that truly loves her craft
I think the medical industry, cops, military, fireman would beg to differ.
@@OscarMPG1
The Medical Industry and Fire Department save lives.
The Police Force protects lives.
The Military ends lives.
But artists are the only ones that really show what it means to live life in all its forms. Birth, Joy, Love, Death.
Viola’s right.
@@OscarMPG1 They actually saves lifes as oppose to telling different stories about LIfe
@@rexvincentvalencia Drs deal with Birth, Joy, Love and Death too. I think the medical profession is really a profession of "life".
@@OscarMPG1 don't be a sanctimonious dk
And that's how you get away with an Oscar
Moonman best comment!!
lol...yeah, by earning it!
I hate u 😂
Moonman fuck you 😂 and that is how you get away with murder
Just started to watch htgawm within a few days and i'm already at s4 and this comment made me smile hahaha
that speech was better than the entire presidential campaign
Bach the 1st she always gives a good speech
You're not lying.
Was!
Up until the part where she says acting is the only profession that celebrates life.
@@Whoa802 fucking pretentious
Is literally no one going to mention how amazing that intro by Mark Rylance was? His intro and Viola's acceptance speech are among the best I've heard at the Oscars.
Indeed, was looking for someone to acknowledge his intro...
@@cressreeves171 Joe Pesci, Best acceptance speach ever. Casual
Truly.. 🤩🤩🤩
he is SO SEXY
Yes, it was amazing! Beautifully said
When she said “rich white woman” thwy put the camera on Meryl 😂😂
She and Meryl are besties. Absolute best and dearest friends.
the shade of the cameraman
She deserves an oscar just for that oscar speech ha
Minus the religious references. Bit of a downer.
@@djandreal why is her faith s downer to u?
@@shelbygwiza9861 because she's rubbing it in everyone's face with such disregard to those who do not believe in her god. I also hate how she believe god is responsible for her achievements instead of giving credit to herself and the supporting people around her. God is never brought up when tragic events happen though. Religious people seem to only mention him for the good and positives. Makes no sense.
@@djandreal no disrespect meant by what I am about to say but that is the most stupid thing I have heard. You said it’s HER god so why does she need to regard other beliefs into her own, she’s not going to mention the gods of different faiths then apologise to the atheists as well. She’s not being an advocate just stating what she believes in and isn’t forcing that on anyone else. You are clearly resentful to God or a higher power or whatever but with her faith she believes that she was put on this right path by God and those actions got her to winning that Oscar; that isn’t discrediting herself just uplifting who she believes is responsible
@@shelbygwiza9861 no offense but your assumption is laughable at best. I clearly don't believe in god or any supernatural entity so how could I be mad at god? I just find it really sad that people still believe in fictional characters in this day and age. Have you read the Bible? Does it sound plausible to you? It's clearly a bunch of fairytales and it floors me how people do not question all the horrible and cruel things god did in the old testament. I mean, honestly, wake the fuck up! There are thousands of religions out there, has it ever crossed your mind that maybe they're nothing but made up stories? I just find it annoying when people thank "god" for their personal achievements.
Viola's skin tone is so beautiful.
She's beautiful period.
Lebron Almighty how is that racist? Viola does have beautiful skin. Maybe because it was coming from a person with lighter skin tone. If She was black would the comment still be a racist comment?
yes,
Hailey Niskanen De La Puente Absolutely Stunning! Like chocolate silk........ ❤️
A beautiful black sister! Kudos!
She’s such a profound speaker. You’re literally emotionally moved listening to her speech, under 3 minutes. Meanwhile I’m blubbering away and shaking my crumpled up note cards in my public speaking class😂😂😂
She's just so well spoken! Everytime she speaks, it's like poetry.
A poll:
Hit like if you thought Viola Davis deserved to win
Hit like if you thought Nicole Kidman deserved to win
Hit like if you thought Octavia Spencer deserved to win
Hit like if you thought Naomie Harris deserved to win
Hit like if you thought Michelle Williams deserved to win
Wow it's true you are savage, damn, why so extreme?
I remember what Viola said about the relevance of graveyard as part of her speech. It was then first verbalized by Les Brown, that the wealthiest place on the planet is not gold mines, or diamond mines.. it is the graveyard, because there lies the dreams that never came to reality, or inventions that never acted upon... Wow, truly amazing message!!!!!! Kudos Viola!
I heard it first from Myles Munroe, great motivational message.
It was definitely Dr Myles Munroe.
Definitely first voiced by Dr. Myles Munroe.
That’s powerfully written.Make it happen brother.Good will
SuperJonz I love Les!!!
People like Viola are rare. She's the living legend.
when meryl won her 3rd oscar she kissed viola
and now when viola won her 1st oscar she kissed meryl
such a beautiful friendship❤️
They always say that you should never meet your idol in person, but how awesome it is for Viola Davis to actually have a very close friendship with Meryl Streep, her biggest acting role model?! That’s just life goals right there.
am i the only one crying right now? i always cry when i see this video! such a powerful words ❤️
I’m crying too and the way her husband looks at her with great admiration
Her speeches are always so POWERFUL
That was a wonderfully spoken acceptance of an Oscar, and no crying over here too
I’m crying too
Yeeeees 😭😭😭
About damn time. It was long overdue!!
Spencer Higham me too, but Meryl ....
Now we have to wait for Amy Adams and Michelle Williams...
Gemnist thank god there is someone remembers michelle williams another me
Gemnist Nah. Annette Bening, Glenn Close and Isabelle Huppert deserves to win their 1st Oscar first before Amy Adams and Michelle Williams.
Yeah, you're right.
i love how everyone wanted her to win, no one looked bitter about it, THIS IS SO WHOLESOME
That Observation really resonated.
Can we talk about how strong the Best Supporting Actress category was that year?? When Octavia Spencer’s performance is the weakest link, you’ve had a heck of a year
Viola Davis’s performance in Fences was actually a lead in my opinion. Viola should have been nominated and win for Best Actress while Naomie Harris should have won Best Supporting Actress for an actual supporting role.
The tears in the eyes of the audience members are so sincere.
She deserves another Oscar just for that speech... I love her!
Viola Davis is the Queen of Empowering Speeches and there's no a single Doubt about it!! She exudes knowledge, intelligence, boldness and fearlessness like no one else, hands down to the one and only Queen Viola, we're not worthy indeed!!
If her and Angela Bassett star together, they will break media
2:03 DID ANYONE NOTICED EMMA JUMPING IN JOY FOR VIOLA SHE WAS ALSO VERY HAPPY WHEN OLIVIA COLMAN WON HER ACADEMY AWARD... TRULY THIS SHOWS SHE FINDS HER HAPPINESS IN OTHERS SUCCESS ALSO...😊😊😊😊
Emma is always terrific when it comes to supporting her costars. That’s probably one of the reasons why Viola decided to campaign in the Supporting Actress category instead for Lead Actress. I guess why compete against a good friend for the same award when you both can win in different categories.
She deserved so well. She is one of the best woman in the world
Mariolittle13 and you have the worst grammar in the world.
Luke S. And you have the worst punctuation in the world.
Best black actresses
She is
5:11 the tears in Emma's eyes. Girl was in her feels.
Both Emma and Viola have remained good friends long after working on The Help. The 2017 Oscar ceremony was kinda cool because it reunited Emma, Octavia, and Viola during the award season and seeing the support they had for each other was wonderful to see.
This is the only award speech i have seen, where the winner is crying in a completely non cringey way and sucks you into the speech so eloquently and authentically. What an inspiration.
Here's to you Ms. Viola Davis ❤🍾
Is she still in character 🤔 why am i used to see her as Annelise 😭
hahaha same
Ha so do I
It’s the wig 😂🗣
"I became an artist, and thank God I did, because we are the only profession that celebrates what it means to live a life".
Dude.
It hits hard.
If you create for love and for the legacy you wanna leave, that phrase hits so hard.
What about Doctors and Nurses?
I know right?! Made me tear up.
@@brucecrawford4948 They don't celebrate life, they save lives.
James Ultron They celebrate new life when babies are born & they celebrate life when they cure someone of a disease, etc.
Now THIS is how you make an acceptance speech! Classy, heartfelt, genuine. Bravo Viola! From one South Carolinian to another!
Manoli S. Brasil.

just by looking at her makes me cry, she's just a vessel of pure emotion. no wonder she's such a terrific actress
Viola's speech is breathing taking and divine
The snot alone in that scene when Denzel tells her he's going to be a father was worth the award! One of the best scenes I've seen in history
Dammm! Now that's acting!
Yes!!
When she mentioned THE legendary Denzel, I started tearing up
It made me smile
I had tears rolling down my eyes and a wide smile. Cheers
Captain o my captain🖤
Viola: "To my husband and my daughter"
The camera: *shows her husband and Emma Stone*
I was confused too. Had to google to make sure I didn't miss the adoption of Emma Stone by Viola and Julius. You never know, hollywood is crazy if you don't keep up with the everyday hustle bustle.
Lmao!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@pavelmedbery3055 😂😂😂😂
Whenever I feel separated to the world, I watch all Viola Davis’ speeches. These words kept me sane and comforted; makes me remember that one day, it’ll be my turn.
“...because we are the only profession that celebrates what it means to live a life” Wow. So true.
I found that statement a little weird at first. What does she mean? That only actors celebrate life and people in other professions don't? Isn't there a lot of self-entitlement in that claim? Or does she mean that all human life-stories are celebrated by the art of acting?
@@musicalmattress1053 obviously this is what she meant
@@musicalmattress1053 I thought she meant the story tellers, everyone involved in making and creating stories whether it's TV, theater, Broadway, movies or another medium I am not aware of.
I actually found this statement horribly tone-deaf. There are plenty of professions out there celebrating what it means to live a life--people who work really hard to celebrate and foster the lives of ordinary people. This stood out to me as another example of actors patting themselves on the back.
The rest of the speech was excellent, and I like to believe Ms. Davis intended that comment differently than it came across. But, I'm sorry, to suggest that only artists celebrate what it means to live a life is preposterous.
@@kevinconnor6035 How do other professions outside of filmmaking "celebrate" what it means to live a life? Other professions SERVE human life and PROTECT but they don't celebrate living a life in terms of their profession and work
Apart from being a phenomenal actress, she's a great speechwriter and orator.
This speech is PERFECT, she touched many people from all different religions, races and nationalities!
Notice they didn't play her off. I LOVE it!!! Her speech was so perfect that no one would dare try. The most overdue award ever! Our EGOT queen!!
She deserved that Oscar for Fences but sorry, she was in no way a supporting role in that film. Should've been nominated for Best Actress instead (which if she were, I think she would still win), so that Michelle Williams could have gotten that award for Supporting Actress instead. She was amazing in Manchester by the Sea
I understand you, but she was the main actress in Fences, but she wasn't for the storytelling. It alredy happened, for exemple Jennifer Connelly for A beutiful mind.
Jeigo Lim How is she not supporting? The main focus of the movie was Denzel Washington. It was HIS story. Everyone else was supporting.
Viola did Supporting because it increased her chances
It’s very difficult for a black actress to win the Best Actress, only Halle Berry did it, the rest just won the Supporting.
The Academy would rather give Meryl Streep her 3rd Oscar than give Viola her first 5 years ago.
Her role is supporting in the film, whether you like it or not. Still better than Alicia Vikander mix-up last year.
Beyoncé would say : she need an Oscar for the pretty dark skin
Hell yeah
Yeaaah love this 😍
She looks really beautiful 😍
That red compliments are perfectly 💋
Honestly awards should always be based on talent, effort and impact. Awarding based on appearance is just racist in another form
There's always something about her speech.... she's literally making grown men to cry❤
I will first acknowledge her eloquence, her passion and her mighty spirit. There is no way those things cannot be recognized and respected.
However, can a moment be taken for this woman's amazingly toned and beautifully hued physique. She is a goddess... an absolute reflection of divine creation ..from her appearance to her soul. Thank you Viola for simply radiating the power and strength of women...
Viola Davis always gives such wonderful speeches. Emotional, eloquent, and inspiring. :)
Can she get another Oscar for her speech that made my cry like a baby.........fr
There’s no way anyone made it through this speech without either: smiling or crying. I did both.
You can see how emotional Meryl was after giving her a kiss ...such a good friendship
I love that fact that after kissing/hugging the main players in this role that she goes and acknowledges Meryl. Shows that they have a genuine friendship/respect for each other.
I love everything about this woman. shes a true queen 👑
"The profession that celebrates what it means to live a life" how beautiful. I adore Viola Davis.
This woman is a survivor. I am so glad she has trailblazed her way in Hollywood. Her voice was needed and all her acclaim is well deserved.
She should have won Best Actress instead Best Supporting Actress.
Yeah, I didn't understand. Why didn't she get best actress? Wasn't she on the screen almost as much as Denzel was?
@@zenamatthews9380 It was a strategic decision. All signs pointed to Emma winning best actress for La La Land, so putting Viola in supporting was a 100% chance she would win because the rest of the supporting actresses paled in comparison. Putting her in lead would risk her not getting anything at all.
The real shame is Denzel not winning best actor.
@@BelleBlack1 thank you! He wasn't as good as her in my opinion.
She committed category fraud so she could win. She feared Emma Stone and since she was so thirsty she went supporting.
@Faye Lasher thanks for clearing it up. But Casey Definitely deserved that Oscar
Viola needs to do something as a narrator, I coud hear her speak for hours.
She never disappoints in anything she acts in 🧡
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.
I cried all through the speech!
Ant B me too!
I agree, Viola should have been nominated for Best Actress, her role was so captivating. The other women in the category were great too, but they didn't deliver the way that Viola did. Viola's next movie will becoming out this year. She will be the starring role as "Harriet Tubman" .. I have a strong feeling that she'll win "Best Actress" for that role.
Wendy Shipp Its Cynthia Erivo who is going to be Harriet
I sometimes come back here to hear this speech. Best Oscar acceptance ever.
She deserves an Oscar for her Oscar speech! Absolutely adore her, incredibly talented.
4:09 "Thank you for putting two entities in the driving seat. August. And God." Felt that.
Not enough comments about that opening speech. It was and is superb.
I just can't imagine how wonderful her presence is...I can feel her totally... Go Viola Go... Long
Her and Emma sharing that little moment at 1:48 after BOTH of their incredible performances on The Help, I’m HERE for it!!
History Repeated. Another Lead Performer Won An Oscar In Best Supporting Actress Category.
A.S Alfred who else did this happen to?
Example:
Timothy Hutton in Ordinary People
Tatum O'Neal in Paper Moon
Exactly, the academy does this all the time.
@@nandimillett8406 Lupita did it!
Whoopi Goldberg for "Ghost."
She's an absolute legend
I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many tears in the audience for an acceptance speech. She is truly an amazing artist.
Who’s still watching this in 2021 ?? I still come back here to cry often.. she’s so immaculate.
2:03 Look at Emma Stone
GeniusDolphin she was so happy for her. That speech changed my life
They worked together on The Help. And everyone loves Viola.
I know, they are both leads in The Help
Along with Octavia Spencer
She was totally uncomfortable ha ha
as much as I love Viola Davis, she was not a supporting actress but a leading actress.. The Oscars should stop doing that.
Yeah....we'll debate that one until the end of time. Just like with Jennifer Hudson in Dreamgirls.
TheOGKSJ From my perspective, it was fair for Jennifer to be nominated for Supporting Actress. Because Deena was the protagonist and Effie was more of a neutral character.
I think if Beyoncé had been campaigned as supporting she would have been nominated as well - I remember hoping at the beginning of that season that all 3 Dreams would have been nominated
Jennifer was lucky! Had they nominated Meryl in the proper category that year for Devil...Prada Jennifer would have gone home empty handed!
She probably didn’t want to compete against Emma, who is a personal friend and former coworker.
This speech and every acceptance speech she has ever made deserve awards in themselves!!!!!! Legend! Queen! Inspiration!
I just love Pauletta Washington's spirit. She is always graceful and smiling whenever her husband is mentioned.
wonderful speech! what a woman! you are a Queen! bless you Viola Davis!
She's just one of the best of all time. I love you, Viola Davis.
this probably is the most beautiful Oscar speech I've heard.
Viola Davis = Beauty + Talent + Class
One of the actresses of our generation. ❣️
can we get her another Oscar for this speech? i mean, wow. her passion is palpable.
I remember watching Meryl win back in 2012 beating Viola and her performance in The Help. I couldn't believe it considering how phenomenal her performance was. Nonetheless, I knew she would win it sometime down the road. This was very well deserved.
Meryl won because of Campaigning by Miramax and Harvey Weinstein. Well that didn't age well. But she won the Oscar mostly because of her work not being recognised since Sophie's Choice. I feel she should have got her third Oscar for The Devil Wears Prada. That would have made Voila won for help. And Michelle Williams for Manchester by the Sea.
@@SyedSaifAbbasNaqvi Yeach ,She deserve for the devil wears prada, not the iron lady
remembering that Meryl couldn't either. I believe her reaction revealed the Academy messed that one up (again)
Viola Davis can make me cry 😢 in a second. Beautiful speech
This speech has a whole other level going on now, after reading her beautiful book "Finding Me".
The most georgous woman on the planet. What a spirit she s got omg!
Viola should has been in the leading category. Why on earth is she in supporting category and yes she totally deserves to win and what a great speech.
Depending on who the woman are in the main category, the studio may put them in supporting if they feel she has a better chance of winning.
Chris Evans and scarlett johansson are became emotional while listening to this speech that make me love them even more ❤️❤️❤️
Man violas speech got me wanting to go to a acting class that was straight up inspirational
One of the best speeches. Every time a person of colorful gets the Academy Award, she or he is telling little brown or Hispanic kids, you can achieve anything you want.
Viola is representing Black people, especially African Americans. She is not up there representing people of color, nor little brown or Hispanic kids (the ones who are racist against Blacks like Viola). Stop trying to create a fairy tale to make yourself feel better. Hispanics, for the most part, are racist & colorist.
@@ExquisiteKinkyCoils I dont know what you mean by Hispanic, but there are black hispanics as well, as white hispanics, as well as indigenous hispanics, or even hispanics with asian feature. So is kinda of weird and oversimplyfing the concept of being hispanic that USA citizens use.
@@alejandropradilladuarte3407 lets not play games, ok? By default, white Hispanics are the ones I'm taking about. Since when are indigenous Hispanics & Black Hispanics every mentioned in the media by white Hispanics? Hardly ever. The colorism & racism with Hispanics is an utter mess. Let this be the last time you assume to have an upper hand.
@@ExquisiteKinkyCoils yeah sure i mean i live in Colombia and im Colombian , and im pretty sure we are not as racists as you say we are... But sure I guess you know more about being a latino than me. Just Please stop oversimplyfing, latinoamérica is pretty big and have a lot of countries in it, it is annoying as hell when we are threated as an homogenous group, for example in Brazil they dont even speak spanish, in Aruba they speak papiamento... So we are not all the same. And im sorry, but im pretty sure that racism between white hispanics and black people is not the main problem to solve regarding racism in USA.
@@alejandropradilladuarte3407 if you're going to have a thin-skin, then don't engaged in a debate. Truth is, Hispanic America, good Lord, have terrible racism, & you can't even be honest about it when attempting to respond. I know about Latin America, & will speak on it. Hispanic & Latin American's messy history & current state of racism & colorism is not hidden, except by people like you. My goodness, fix your own messy backyards before posting to me, hypocrite.

Best acceptance speech I’ve ever heard.
A beautiful woman with a beautiful loving soul. Well done indeed Viola!
she should play Mrs. Obama
And Will Smith should play Mr Obama.
Yes
I can see that
Damn you predicted it
WELL DAMN SHE IS!!!!
I live for her speeches.
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
I am reading her book right now, I’m riveted. It gets too much sometimes, I have to stop to take a short break.
...i always comeback here...and i love it , i love her.
...I'm back again...in awe of course = you are amazing.
No matter how much I watch this I cry every time.
