Hollywood’s talented actress, Viola Davis as finally bagged the coveted Oscar after years of hard work and dedication. Popularly known as the Oscars, the glittering event saw Viola scoop the Best Supporting Actress gong for her role as Rose Maxson in the film Fences.

“I became an artist, and thank God I did, because we are the only profession that celebrates what it means to live a life,” Viola said in her acceptance speech. “People ask me all the time, ‘What kind of stories do you want to tell, Viola?’ And I say, ‘Exhume those bodies. Exhume those stories – the stories of the people who dreamed big and never saw those dreams to fruition, people who fell in love and lost’.”
