[ohhowsplendid]

whoa. i love her

[UnrealHelix]

She was excellent in Doubt and also Law Abiding Citizen

[parisathensvenice]

She must be great on stage with that fantastic voice!

She is a wonderful actress and an interesting person.

[jdalight]

wow what a strong voice coming out of her wow

[WhereYaBoss]

Viola is sooo beautiful. I wish she would be locked into a modeling contract. I swear she should be with Revlon or something. One of my favorite actresses. I wish she had more roles that showed off her beauty. All of her roles are great because she makes them great...but I love to see her get top billing. Don't let me have to write the script and put in the contract that only she can play the role!

[iStageMom]

Her scene out-performed every other. Amazing. Amazing.

[chungai2001]

She's so fresh, confident and selfaware. She reminds me of Angela Basset. A great actress.

I like all her answers to the questions. I've seen Doubt, and I must say that she was so amazing in that film. She only has about 15 minutes, yet she was able to give parallel performance with Meryl Streep.

In the movie she was good but not great I could have done that part better. It' s not what you who you know but what you know. She wasn't great

[obiwashere]

booooooooooo...what the hell are you talking about

[donnylovesayesha1]

What I meant to say was it's not what you who you know it's what you know. The old adage in reverse

[obiwashere]

huh?

What a truly beautiful woman. Viola Davis may not have won the Oscar this year, but she will get another chance. She has just scratched the surface of her talent, which is extraordinary. To have such an impact on a movie in ONE SCENE ... that takes a gifted actor. I hope Viola Davis gets even bigger and better roles in the future, because she deserves the very best!

She is a brilliant actress. The Oscar Race this year was very tight and anyone's chance to win. Penelope Cruz won. Viola's role was only 10 minutes long. The last time an actress one for a 10 minute role was Judi Dench for Shakespear in Love where she played the queen. Remember the time this role was in a black woman in the 1960's and you will understand her choices. The woman who played this one scene on Broadway in the Play won the Tony for this role. Viola went to Juliard. Thanks.

[majormoviestar2008]

I would love to see her and Angela Bassett in great movie together.

[israelite1]

I HOPE SHES BEING LOVED RIGHT,

She IS BEAUTIFUL....

This is the first time I believe I've seen Miss Davis on screen. Up until her performance started, I thought that Meryl Streep and Amy Adams were very good. When Viola came on, I was stunned. She took that part and soar above all the other actors. I could not take my eyes or ears from her performance and was so moved I had a difficult time getting back into the film. Short part or not, Viola Davis gave the best performance lead or supporting. It will be a crime if she does not win.

Viola Davis is on the verge of an artistic breakthrough. She has been a journey actress over the years. It is so wonderful to see and hear Viola talk so candidly about her faith. There is no pretense. She is unabashed and gives God the glory. You can tell she's more grounded than the usual Hollywood actor or actress. Viola is articulate, spiritual, funny, insightful, talented, and a beautiful woman. Kudos to Viola Davis.

[jkyrle]

Can I say? Could we please get more people like this on US and British TV/Radio? Both Viola and the journalist? I mean people who have interesting things to say and ask, people who know how to speak with proper words and how to think and convey an idea, not the "like" or the "you know" types!...

And to both Viola and the journalist, thank you, THANK YOU for using the word "black" again! I personally think that "African-American" is one of the most racist appellations around. You are brilliant!

[donnylovesayesha1]

I been saying black for black people long before this woman, so don't give her all the credit.

[kapenzi21]

go Viola. go Viola

[Ga11owbraid]

I like her! She's cool and hopefully she will appear in more fantastic movies!

[bellsbuff]

Viola was just nominated for an Oscar for her role in "In Doubt" Congratulations!!!

[BradshawBussomBuddie]

I really hope she wins. She really deserves it.

[TinyandReba]

Viola congrats on the Nominees this Thursday morning, January 23, 2009.

[rmharris15]

Beautiful, smart, and incredibly talented!! I adore this woman and the integrity she exudes in all of her roles. As a screenwriter, I would be so honored to have her to act in my film.

[sliv812]

My second cousin is a friend of Viola's. She went to high school with her when they both lived in Central Falls, Rhode Island. My entire family is very, very happy for her success, and we're all rooting for her during this awards season. Go Viola!!!

[iRcRoHeGi]

She is the epitome of a black actress. Best wishes for a bright future. She is beautiful, talented, and so full of poise. It's a quality that is very appealing. The industry be wise to pay more attention.

[urbanpsychoanalyst]

I think is going to win that OSCAR. She was

fantastic and very deserving of it....

[ninomiya]
