I love Kerry Washington, Taraji P. Henson and Viola Davis! They are awesome.. I am so PLEASED to FINALLY see more women of color to get RECOGNIZED for their contributions in televison. About time!
I think they all at the end of the day wanted the same thing. For a black woman to be given OPPORTUNITY AND RECOGNITION. She’s there for them too and she won That award not just for herself
Strong, instinctive, shape female who just face to be beautiful with no make up or with wigs, not trying to stay sexy or look young every time at all costs, as beauties standards : Viola, you open a wide door not only for black women but for all women who can see the line too. Congratulations !!!
oh amen. in an industry like hollywood that’s about as daring as it gets. being strong and comfortable without makeup, botox, hair done, etc. (and ironically it actually makes her MORE beautiful) and it’s even more apparent on her show. she’s not afraid to just bare all. hell, even emotionally- she’s not afraid to “ugly cry” haha like we all do! she’s just real. viola is an absolute force of nature. an inspiration for all women, not just women of color!
"The only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity" viola is someone who's career is defined by her heart of gold. You redefined the significance of being a woman of color today. And my respect for you is eternal. Thank-you viola Davis.
is it me, or did anyone else notice the older white men behind taraji who I'm guessing is not really grasping the significance of this win, or oblivious to the lack of opportunity people of color face in the entertainment industry. they look as if they don't care at all, "your problem not mine" mentality.
Viola Davis is a national treasure, and that hug between her and Taraji P. Henson, with the two of them racing toward each other to tell them they love each other, was the greatest
I sooo wanted Taraji Benson, Kerry Washington and Viola Davis WIN an EMMY. I was so pleased and super proud of Viola Davis. She deserved and earned it.
She absolutely needs to do some sort of spoken word recording of an audio book or anything that would allow her to win a Grammy award. If anyone deserves to be an EGOT winner it is this beautiful, amazing, spectacular human being.
@@lawtraf8008 -- As of now she has not received a Grammy award. However it appears she is putting in effort to try and win one, however she was snubbed last year not receiving a nomination.
This has got to be one of the best positive images of black women in support of each other, this is so Amazing, even though some of the white men were a bit uncomfortable with her speech, but that’s what it means to be unapologetically Black, I loved this allllll the way 🙏🏿🙌🏿✊🏿
Willa Wonka what I notice is the older white men behind taraji who I'm guessing is not really grasping the significance of this win, or oblivious to the lack of opportunity people or color face in the entertainment industry. they look as if they don't care at all, "your problem not mine" mentality.
Wow, this woman is the truth. Her mesmerizing speech is simultaneously soul-stirring and incisive . . . to the point where it gives me chills. The heart-melting reactions from Taraji and Kerry are just icing on the cake. Such an incredible moment. Go, Viola!
This speech and the quotation is so awesome, I don't mind hearing it over and over again, because you know what it's from the heart and it is very very real there is nothing fake about it I tell you, nothing. Viola I wish you could see all that we write for you, even though this is three years ago it felt like now, you are my inspiration, you have given me so much strength.
I absolutely love this woman. Everything she acts in I have to watch. She is an amazing actress. She gave me chills on how to get away with murder. She is a powerful force.
It’s remarkable to see how strong and inspiring Viola is. Her personality makes her character so independent, strong, special, and brilliant. Hope she will get a thousand more rewards because she deserves each one!
I have just finished reading her book - Viola - finding me, and now that I've had a glimpse of her life, of how hard this beautiful woman has struggled ...I want to watch her speeches in all the awards she won. If you haven't read the book yet... give yourself a huge gift and DO IT. Viola, you are Divine
I love how Taraji, a fellow nominee, uplifted Viola in that moment. Taraji has ALWAYS been that way. She was supposed to be on the cover of Ebony Magazine alone when she got an Oscar nomination. Viola was nominated that same year and in the same category. Taraji insisted they include Viola in the piece and on the cover. And they did. Love this woman to pieces.
Very much deserved. I have only seen her in How to get away with murder, which I'm still currently watching but she is AMAZING in this, her acting is really good and I'm so happy she won this! This speech is beautiful.
Viola Davis is definitely a definition of true talent. She’s such an inspiration, so talented, so hardworking, even thinking about her makes me cry with tears of joy and admiration and that is what makes an actor incredible - not only the ability to portray the myriad of emotions, but also being able to bring them out of the audience.
Just came here after finishing her book, Finding Me. I tested up twice in that book and a couple times in this. So so damn happy for her. And she’s genuinely one of the best actors working today❤
i swear i almost cried watching her, there’s not many black actresses & she’s named the few that have given each other THE OPPORTUNITY to be something great!! i love & support all those women & it just saddens me that it cannot be like this within the music industry

What Taraji did Was set a Perfect Example of how Women should support and lift each other up and not be envis or hateful
very true!!!!!!!
who is she, please?
I love Kerry Washington, Taraji P. Henson and Viola Davis! They are awesome.. I am so PLEASED to FINALLY see more women of color to get RECOGNIZED for their contributions in televison. About time!
Tim Thomas Absolutely.
Tim Thomas AMEN WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!!!
Taraji stood up, sat down, and stood back up. #sisterhood
Ija Peters 😂😂i know right I love her
LUV HER
love it. she is a real girls girl, through and through her entire career. have to respect it.
Taraji's face when she won just showed America that she is a magnificent woman
Love it!!
Lillian Brown she’s such a great women
*the world
When you start from scratch you’ll never forget the sacrifices n how ppl treated you. Love and support each other.
this.
Viola's speeches deserve a separate award.
jocone123 lol
Yes! It’s amazing and much needed to be said
Exactly
Yes they do
Right? That was a beautiful speech!!
This was Viola's FIRST emmy nomination? WTF? Shes one of the most gifted actresses of our generation.
I think because she had mostly been in film and plays, not tv.
This was her first major TV role. Before then she had two Oscar nominations (though she wouldn't win until 2017 for Fences), and two Tony awards.
What you just said explains what she said in her speech.
@@Hichamca1992 rite...
opportunity.
It’s so sad Kerry never won for Scandal, but Viola’s win always felt like a triumph for all three of them. What a beautiful moment.
I think they all at the end of the day wanted the same thing. For a black woman to be given OPPORTUNITY AND RECOGNITION. She’s there for them too and she won That award not just for herself
Are you JOKING ?!?!? What was anyone else talking about besides Scandal at the time?!?! How sad is America
@@sarahc.9720 “how sad is America” it’s never that serious lmfao
@@SinSinny huh?
@@sarahc.9720 you can’t read?
Did you guys see Kerry Washington, her face was so full with joy for Viola winning the Emmy!!! 😢

And now it's in the comment section.
I did😁👏🏿👏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🤗.
Yeah. Kerry’s & Taraji’s reactions were solidarity embodied and I’m ALL THE WAY here for it.
If this was on mute, Taraji's initial reaction would've made you think she won. I love her genuine love and support for other women.
I watched her reaction and that hug 20 times over, it was the serotonin boost I needed today!
Yes, T. Is Love.
SHE DID WIN WE ALL DID.
I mean the waterworks this gave me. Her sister in acting being just as happy for her as she would’ve been for herself. 🥺💗
@@jayischilln5155 I couldn't believe how many times I watched her reaction and how it made me cry..I'm glad I'm not alone
This is what makes Taraji loved so much
hey daddy
I love you

Ifrah Noor Me too😭
Cause it’s just so beautiful and inspiring ✊🏾
Taraji's reaction was as if she won. That was a beautiful moment.
She DID win!
When one of us win, we all win! 🔥😍💃🏿
@@blestnp I meant as if Taraji won the award herself. Then again they are all winners.
@@PureAloha78they mean because they’re both black it was a win win situation since one of us won
The way she ran right into Taraij arms 🙌🏾🤗 like yasssss my queen 👸🏾 if I couldn't win I'm happy it's you!
Kerry Washington’s reaction was beautiful.
Made me tear up
Between Viola’s speech, Taraji’s pure joy and support, and Kerry’s emotions, I tear up every time I see this.
Yes, "The only thing that separate women of color from anyone else is opportunity." Yes,yes so true. Viola is so awesome !😃
"anyone else" cause we know assian, muslim or latino women are PLENTY of opportunities :)

Taraji is like go girl TAKE trophy home baby

Taraji's reaction is pure GOLD!! I love how genuine it is!! So is Kerri Washington's!! I love it!
THAT HUG BETWEEN TARAJI AND VIOLA IS EVERYTHING
Strong, instinctive, shape female who just face to be beautiful with no make up or with wigs, not trying to stay sexy or look young every time at all costs, as beauties standards : Viola, you open a wide door not only for black women but for all women who can see the line too. Congratulations !!!
Oh baby you're so right !
oh amen. in an industry like hollywood that’s about as daring as it gets. being strong and comfortable without makeup, botox, hair done, etc. (and ironically it actually makes her MORE beautiful)

You can just feel the hardship every women of color has to do to reach such glory and recognition. VIOLA IS A REAL DEAL! I LOVE HER SO MUCH!
I,m reading her book,To God Be The Glory Gor The Things God Has Done. She had a Rought childhood BUT GoD,Mrs.Davis Is Worth her Eright In PURE Gold.
OMG! You can tell how much it meant to Kerri Washington! Very well deserved Emmy. & bless Taraji for being such a wonderful person.
"The only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity" viola is someone who's career is defined by her heart of gold. You redefined the significance of being a woman of color today. And my respect for you is eternal. Thank-you viola Davis.
I swear Taraji's screams stood up😂😂
She is so well-spoken and sincere--a breath of fresh air in Hollywood. Go Viola Davis!! You've got a bright future full of awards waiting for you :)
Idk what I love more: Viola's reaction or Taraji's reaction.
BOTH I AM SURE, BUT TARAJI IS THE REAL DEAL AND SHE JUST SHOWED IT WITH THAT VIRGO REALNESS
is it me, or did anyone else notice the older white men behind taraji who I'm guessing is not really grasping the significance of this win, or oblivious to the lack of opportunity people of color face in the entertainment industry. they look as if they don't care at all, "your problem not mine" mentality.
paul galazo agreed. That's what wrong with the industry. Like Chris Rock said, it's sorority racist.
paul galazo well I gotta free with you on that. Hopefully it goes great. Good luck with that sir.
paul galazo John Stamos included
Don't assume
paul galazo yes!
I LOVE seeing black sistas support each other!
damn i love being black, especially when i see moments like this, now more than ever we really need it!
Viola Davis is a national treasure, and that hug between her and Taraji P. Henson, with the two of them racing toward each other to tell them they love each other, was the greatest
I sooo wanted Taraji Benson, Kerry Washington and Viola Davis WIN an EMMY.
I was so pleased and super proud of Viola Davis. She deserved and earned it.
This is such a beautiful poignant and loving speech. I love her so much.
Truly deserved! Just finished watching the series and its great!
kermifairy Recife Brasil.
Well said!!!Just finished reading her book
Kerry and Taraji reactions are the type of energy we need to be on even in 2020, periodt !
Beautiful historical speech.
She absolutely needs to do some sort of spoken word recording of an audio book or anything that would allow her to win a Grammy award. If anyone deserves to be an EGOT winner it is this beautiful, amazing, spectacular human being.
Did she or or not yet ?
@@lawtraf8008 -- As of now she has not received a Grammy award. However it appears she is putting in effort to try and win one, however she was snubbed last year not receiving a nomination.
She is nominated now, let's hope
@@criminal017_ -- I am so very happy for her. I pray she wins. Her acceptance speech will be spectacular.
she just won it! she got her EGOT
Taraji and Kerry real ones👌
I did not see that speech coming but I am 100% glad I heard it! #blackgirlmagic :-*
Racist like u🤮
This has got to be one of the best positive images of black women in support of each other, this is so Amazing, even though some of the white men were a bit uncomfortable with her speech, but that’s what it means to be unapologetically Black, I loved this allllll the way 🙏🏿🙌🏿✊🏿
I wasnt able to track how many times I've watched this award speech of this compelling actress... *VIOLA DAVIS* is a *POW* 👏👏👏
I love you and Kerry, both of you are amazing. Absolutely stunning and inspiring too. I bet on you, always!
The energy of viola and taraji hugging show how they support each other in real!!
I just finished binging watching this series this week.. when I say I don’t understand how she didn’t win every year!
I just started watching. Season 1 episode 2. I’m already intrigued. This woman is a force of nature.
Me right now
Taraji and Kerry's reaction = major sisterhood
Is it just me or did every white person in this clip look super uncomfortable? Lol
lol..
they all are love, except for Kerry and Taraji
Willa Wonka you caught that too huh,they looked uncomfortable because a lot of them are out of touch with reality...
Willa Wonka yup I peep that
Willa Wonka what I notice is the older white men behind taraji who I'm guessing is not really grasping the significance of this win, or oblivious to the lack of opportunity people or color face in the entertainment industry. they look as if they don't care at all, "your problem not mine" mentality.
Willa Wonka No it wasn't just you, we all saw that.
I love Taraji. That was such a solid sister-hood moment. Me love looking at their unity.
Taraji's reaction is epic! ❤️🙌🏽❤️
She deserves a hundred like that award
Wow, this woman is the truth. Her mesmerizing speech is simultaneously soul-stirring and incisive . . . to the point where it gives me chills. The heart-melting reactions from Taraji and Kerry are just icing on the cake. Such an incredible moment. Go, Viola!
I don’t know what’s better. Viola winning the award, Viola’s amazing speech, or Taraji’s reaction to Viola winning
Wow, I'm crying my eyes out. Also thank you Viola for what you do and speaking for women of color.
Viola has the magical ability to give me chills with the way she delivers her roles. She deserves all the awards and accolades! ❤
I love that Taraji just as excited at viola’s win as her. Viola is one of the best actresses of our time. Period
What a beautiful speech. Just breathtaking and awe-inspiring
Kerry and Taraji. Queens supporting queens
No one gives a moving speech like Viola. I get goosebumps listening to this talented woman.
This speech and the quotation is so awesome, I don't mind hearing it over and over again, because you know what it's from the heart and it is very very real there is nothing fake about it I tell you, nothing. Viola I wish you could see all that we write for you, even though this is three years ago it felt like now, you are my inspiration, you have given me so much strength.
Taraji reaction when Viola win a emmy
Every role that Viola Davis plays has made me cry. She gives such emotion that can be felt.
She got a tear out of me and to see the pure happiness and support from the other esteemed black actresses just touched me 🥰
