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
@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.
@@LSFD I don't know her deeply, but my brother served her at a restaurant with her family in NYC once and he said she was completely gracious, approachable, and kind the whole time, even thanked the chef and tipped well. That's good enough for me.
I know I’m not alone, but good grief I really really like her! We are so lucky to live in a time when we can witness her talent, strength, and good nature.💜
Let me tell you… ANYONE who has listened to the audiobook of FINDING ME knows that Viola Davis absolutely BROUGHT HER A GAME. Wow wow wow. It was a #1 bestseller for weeks and in the top 10 for 6 months. SHE DESERVES!!!
The Woman King has become my favorite movie. I saw it twice at the theater and I can't count how many times since I've had the Blu ray. Every time I see it I get a different feeling. Viola Davis is a National Treasure and I love her and the amazing contribution she has made to cinematic history.
I love her so much, she's so wise and beautiful. She does deserve her EGOT. The superstitions are so true in black families. The woman King was fantastic, like the showing of burning a slave block and seeing dark black women representing and leading a important story was amazing.
I agree I think some would. I think she is just as great as Meryl Streep and maybe even better but I wouldn’t call her “The Australian Meryl Streep” because that’s degrading.
Viola's the best!She played roles from a junkie to a Warrior!Meryl was given dominant roles while Viola was forced to event her own roles or just play maids!
The Woman King was the best movie Ive seen all year. I collect and watch movies relentlessly, Viola Davis is the QUEEN of Actresses. Thank you so much for all the great entertainment ,well done. I feel fortunate to witness your success 💙💙💙💜💜💜
Hihihi her laughing is contagious. She is a great woman and talented actress. Her story about looking the mirror at night haha it killed me. I had that one in my childhood. LOL
Viola Davis:" I'm so good" Kimmel: "Some say great" Viola Davis: "...I'm good 😅" She is so humble, but isn't afraid to acknowledge how beyond skilled and talented she is. Woman King had my friend and I on the edge of our seat! Shes such a beautiful talented Queen!!👑
I used to have a dentist who was a hypnotist .One time he hypnotized me and pulled 2 wisdom teeth with no other anesthetic . I felt no pain I could feel everything happening , roots coming away and all , but NO PAIN !!! Firm believer in hypnotism ever since !!!
Hahaha! Mrs. Viola hit home with those superstitions! It’s not only a black raising thing, it’s a Southern raising thing! You forgot, no sweeping at night so you don’t sweep the luck out of the house and don’t split poles when walking with someone! 😂
Not sweeping at night is an African superstition. Tells you how far that goes. There are others looking that. Sweeping the feet for different reasons. Jumping over someone’s feet etc.
I don't know about the rest of latin America but in Puerto Rico if you sweep over a person's feet and that person hasn't gotten married yet it is believed you're comdemning that person to stay single for the rest of their life.
Yeah she doesn’t like that the best acting roles for black actresses are like in the past/civil rights/slave movies where she has to play maids and things. Just wants better contemporary roles in life where she’s basically playing roles that are colorblind

Agree 100%.
Viola simply crushes me when she cries.
Fences, Ma Rainey and Woman King.
I’m gonna watch her for as long as I have eyes.

No, she wasn't robbed.
She's beyond awesome as an actress, a woman, a black woman, & a human being!
I concur with your sentiment 100%♡
Australia.
Lovvvvveeeeee herrrr !!!!❤❤❤❤
agreed!
@PC pink and yellow People Don’t exist.
@PC because you have completely different obstacles when you are not white
Not only is she ungodly talented, but she is so genuine and amazing. the REALEST I love herrr
every time I watch an interview there's this comment like I'm assuming you know her deeply
@@LSFD I don't know her deeply, but my brother served her at a restaurant with her family in NYC once and he said she was completely gracious, approachable, and kind the whole time, even thanked the chef and tipped well. That's good enough for me.
@@LSFD we go way back
I literally love her like I have no word. Just love.
She’s a powerhouse actress and wonderful personality!😊
When she laughs, 😮 What a voice! 😍
Will Smith laugh.
It's all natural you can't fake a laugh like that.
Met her in person years ago. She is cool, down to earth, and just a wonderful lady. Cheers:)
I could watch her continue speaking. Fantastic interview Jimmy. Viola, you’re a star!
I know I’m not alone, but good grief I really really like her! We are so lucky to live in a time when we can witness her talent, strength, and good nature.💜
Love her laughter, it's contagious!!
Just give her that Grammy, she deserves everything!
She just won the Grammy for her audiobook. Congrats.
Viola is one of the greatest actresses of our time! Love her! 👍🤗💞
I agree, but go one step further; of all time. When she acts, you fall in. It’s real.
@@ivanobar1 It's between her and Angela Bassett
Viola is a great actress ❤️
The fact that I grew up on these same superstitions…she’s so genuine and authentic! 😂🙌🏾
That umbrella was soooo serious…
Our big one was don't split the pole.
Let me tell you… ANYONE who has listened to the audiobook of FINDING ME knows that Viola Davis absolutely BROUGHT HER A GAME. Wow wow wow. It was a #1 bestseller for weeks and in the top 10 for 6 months. SHE DESERVES!!!
Her voice and her laughter are just wholesome 🥰
I love when she imitates her husband.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The energy! I was smiling the entire time. Awesome awesome interview. Love her.
She should get an Oscar & Grammy just for her interviews & speeches!They're so good,genuine & entertaining!
That moment with Cate was so funny lol 🤣
The Woman King has become my favorite movie. I saw it twice at the theater and I can't count how many times since I've had the Blu ray. Every time I see it I get a different feeling. Viola Davis is a National Treasure and I love her and the amazing contribution she has made to cinematic history.
But you know it’s all lies? Don’t you dullard ?
I agree !She got cheated out an Oscar for W.K.She wasn't even nominated. Racism & sexes completely blocked the entire production!
The Woman King is an amazing movie. My mom and I saw it multiple times in theater it was incredibly cathartic.
I love her so much, she's so wise and beautiful.
She does deserve her EGOT.
The superstitions are so true in black families. The woman King was fantastic, like the showing of burning a slave block and seeing dark black women representing and leading a important story was amazing.
She is a FORCE all on her own!!
She is just glorious, love her. My favorite actress🥰
Viola Davis, tells the best stories. I enjoy watching her interviews. She makes her stories entertaining.
Viola Davis being described as the 'black Meryl Streep' is an insult. Nobody would call Cate Blanchett 'the Australian Meryl Streep' -- would they?
I think some did
I agree I think some would. I think she is just as great as Meryl Streep and maybe even better but I wouldn’t call her “The Australian Meryl Streep” because that’s degrading.
@@evyalley not great as Meryl Meryl is the greatest
Viola's the best!She played roles from a junkie to a Warrior!Meryl was given dominant roles while Viola was forced to event her own roles or just play maids!
@@NikhilSingh-js6mx agree to disagree
Viola is an amazing actress
God was showing off when Viola was made.
Australia.
She is beyond beautiful 😩
Best actress ever.💕💕💕💕💕
well ... actually there are many others too 😉
@@travisgrant5608but she’s still the best
She glows! Her skin is flawless. Such a wonderful woman
She is just so beautiful 🤩
Well now I REALLY want to see Viola and Cate together in a movie - they’re both so elegant and powerful and I love their friendship 😊
The Woman King was the best movie Ive seen all year. I collect and watch movies relentlessly, Viola Davis is the QUEEN of Actresses. Thank you so much for all the great entertainment ,well done. I feel fortunate to witness your success 💙💙💙💜💜💜
Tar is a much more interesting movie and Cate Blanchett's performance is vastly superior to Viola's.
@John Smith This is such a lazy argument. Try again.
@John Smith I know why you are here and what kind of discussion you want to drag me into. No way I'm falling into that trap. 😆
@user-nd7pj4et8k you'd pick black over white every time I bet.
Also put VIOLA + CATE in a movie together!!!
I love everything about Viola. She is regal .
She is so beautiful ❤️ I love her spirit!
Viola is so likable. Keep voting blue! 💙
Viola is the Standard! I love her!
You do deserve it Viola 🧡
I just love her she's real one of my favorite actresses.
What a Queen 👑
Damn, how I LOVE her laugh!
Well I am Serbian and my family growing up was killin us with the saaaame superstitions 😂
Awesome actress!!! Love her!
Powerful Black Woman and I respect you Queen!
A GODDESS!
I love her, so genuine and talented 💓
Hihihi her laughing is contagious. She is a great woman and talented actress. Her story about looking the mirror at night haha it killed me. I had that one in my childhood. LOL
She is one of my all time favorites. Just love the realness❤
She's real woke, that's for sure.
Oh, one more Viola Davis interview. I’m in!
Viola Davis:" I'm so good"
Kimmel: "Some say great"
Viola Davis: "...I'm good 😅"
She is so humble, but isn't afraid to acknowledge how beyond skilled and talented she is. Woman King had my friend and I on the edge of our seat! Shes such a beautiful talented Queen!!👑
The Woman King is an amazing movie. Great cast.
I was just watching her house tour. Gorgeous lady, gorgeous home.
Agreed!
I didn't know when the clip ended. I like her energy and Jimmy 's.
Saw Viola and just hit play ▶️
And ended up the first to comment.
She is the female Sterling Brown! I see so much resemblance in not only their appearance but their personalities. Both absolute legends 😍
I love Viola Davis she is such a good actress she is awesome
She is always a great guest. I usually don't get to the midpoint of the interview with those Hollywood types, (such bores) but she is always engaging.
Viola has the most beautiful skin. Her melanin is POPPIN'. Shout out to all the chocolate women.
Luv her she’s so awesome!
I used to have a dentist who was a hypnotist .One time he hypnotized me and pulled 2 wisdom teeth with no other anesthetic . I felt no pain I could feel everything happening , roots coming away and all , but NO PAIN !!! Firm believer in hypnotism ever since !!!
That's unbelievable. What country was this?
Wow her beautiful dark brown chocolate is glowing black is beautiful
Love her so much. OMG her skin is so beautiful!!
Viola Davis’ Annalise Keating is one if not THE greatest TV character of all time.
Always great to see Viola
This woman is a force of nature.
Omg, I just loveeeee this woman!!
She is all some. Her book is amazing her drive is bigger then life.
Hahaha! Mrs. Viola hit home with those superstitions! It’s not only a black raising thing, it’s a Southern raising thing! You forgot, no sweeping at night so you don’t sweep the luck out of the house and don’t split poles when walking with someone! 😂
Not sweeping at night is an African superstition. Tells you how far that goes. There are others looking that. Sweeping the feet for different reasons. Jumping over someone’s feet etc.
I’m where Viola was born in South Carolina. People in are small rural town still believe in these superstitions.
@@victoriankambe3070 I am Somali no sweeping at night as well no open umbrella inside house spilling salt on the spot some one slipped or fell down 🤣🤣
@@victoriankambe3070 and you are right they got the sweeping thing from us Africans
Just pure genuine raw talent.
She is incredible!
I’ve seen it five times at the theater. I cried every single time! I bought it for my sister for the holidays, she’s watched it three!
Talk of being in a good space 😊. Keep winning Mummy!!!!
QUEEN VIOLA
She is Stunning.
Best story teller too. Jimmy is brilliant , sharp, and quick with his “trick or treating in closet” comment
She is so funny and humble, love her
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Always, in so many ways! 🤗 Much appreciation and respect. 🙏
I so love her she deserves Everything that she is getting and more May God continue to bless her and he husband ❤
She's amazing 🥰 genuine and adorable
I love this lady so much!
I don't know about the rest of latin America but in Puerto Rico if you sweep over a person's feet and that person hasn't gotten married yet it is believed you're comdemning that person to stay single for the rest of their life.
VIOLA DAVIS IS A EGOT WINNER !!!!! OMG!! I CANT WAIT TIL SHE COME BACK ON JIMMY KIMMEL !!!
Una de las mejores actrices de Hollywood

Such an incredible artist.
💗💗💗 Viola great movie, great performance
I think she’s so lovely!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Well now I know where to hide the Hersey's Kisses. 🤣
The Woman King was so good.
The Woman King was the best film of 2022.
She so fun. Jimmy is a great interviewer
she is such an amazing soul!🥰
She is one bright star
The movie she hated making is the Help.
That totally makes sense!
Yeah she doesn’t like that the best acting roles for black actresses are like in the past/civil rights/slave movies where she has to play maids and things. Just wants better contemporary roles in life where she’s basically playing roles that are colorblind
I just love this lady in so many ways that i can't explain. Just beautiful and awesome!!
