The Screen Actors Guild awards took place last night and How To Get Away With Murder star Viola Davis won the SAG award for 'Outstanding Female Actress in a Drama Series.'
Viola was teary eyed as she accepted her award and she delivered a powerful speech:
*Complete list of winners below
Alright. When I tell my daughter stories at night, inevitably a few things happen: Number one, I use my imagination. I always start with life and then I build from there. And then the other thing that happens is she says, 'Mommy, can you put me in the story?' And you know what, it starts from the top up. So I'd like to thank Paul Lee, Shonda Rhimes, Betsey Beers, Bill D'Elia, and Peter Nowak for thinking that a sexualized, messy, mysterious woman could be a 49-year-old dark skinned African American women who looks like me. Thank you to the Screen Actors Guild, thank you to Estelle Lasher and Michael Adler and everyone at CAA for having my back, and thank you to all the people who love me exactly how God made me. And thanks to my beautiful husband Julius, my four-year-old daughter Genesis, and my mother May Alice Davis.
Also, the Orange is the New Black crew took home SAG awards, I love them and this show!
