    A woman who only showed up for a few minutes in "Doubt" and completely OWNED a scene that MERYL STREEP was in. Only a few people alive can do that. Viola Davis? She crushed it. 100% deserved that Oscar, she was robbed

      I know you mean it as a praise and it was a great show of her talent at that time but right now Viola is so much bigger than just that association. She should be described as the most nominated african american actress at the oscars. The first african american actress to win emmy in a lead role. The only african american actress to win the triple crown of the acting.
      She's now so much more than that one association with Meryl Streep which landed her her first oscar nom

      I’m gonna watch her for as long as I have eyes.

      @Muhammad Ahmed OH. No, I did not mean it that way at all. She's incredible. That movie was my first exposure to Viola Davis and I've been an adoring fan ever since. I'd compare her scene in Doubt to Alec Baldwin's scene in Glengarry Glenn Ross, it was so powerful. Something that just defines the rest of the movie.
