Viola Davis Joins the Hollywood Walk of Fame
Thursday, January 5, 2017 at 8:02PM Chris here. You might think that richly earned (and incredibly likely) Viola Davis's Fences Oscar march will officially begin this Sunday at the Golden Globes, but you would be wrong. It has already begun. Get ready for lots of love all around for one of our greatest actresses alive. She was just awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Davis was tributed by pal, idol, and devotee Meryl Streep at the unveiling, calling her "possessed of a blazing, incandescent talent".
You can call it an archaic pastime or doubt its significance, but a star on the Walk of Fame is a more than fitting achievement for a titan like Davis, especially as our time-honored institutions need to reflect diversity. With a hit television show, two Oscar nominations thus far, and a franchise on the books, it's surprising that it's taken so long for the honor. But just consider it the kickoff for the victory tour (let's call Critics' Choice the warmup). She's simply the person this Oscar season that you couldn't be happier for - unless maybe she'd be rightfully winning as a lead. Details.

I hope she goes natural again for the Oscars.
and I'm planning to go CRISPR as soon as human trials get rolling in most countries.
Meryl is amazing. She presented to Viola in the morning and then went to a private memorial for Carrie and Debbie Fisher in the afternoon. Congrats to Viola.
Meryl is just there to atone for her sin of stealing Viola's Oscar!!!
Bow down.
And ps I don't mind her supporting campaign. Denzel is the fire of most of the movie and the ensemble acts in relation to him.
Yes, Meryl presented to Viola then apparently performed at the private ceremony of Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher. What a day!
Loved seeing Viola Davis get her own star, and having Meryl Streep by your side is icing on the cake.
But category fraud is still wrong even when you love the actor/actress. I think Davis is a wonderful actress and parts for POC are way too few, but she should be nominated for lead.
Just wait until the Cecil B. Demille this Sunday!
It really seems like they just stayed friends, regardless what happened.
Both are wise enough to know Awards are not everything.
Though Meryl will clapp happily when Viola finally wins her Oscar. And why not Supporting to begin with? A legendary start.
She can be the fourth actress after Meryl, Jessica and Cate B. to win Lead AFTER Supporting and of course be the first afroamerican actress to win twice.
All the best!
Is there still a chance she could get nominated in Lead?
You pay for the Walk of Fame star so it is not a real achievement really.
Nice post I like it I am waiting your next post.
keep it work!
