Viola Davis was honored with a major award this weekend!
The 57-year-old The Woman King actress was presented with Public Counsel’s Annual William O. Douglas Award during a dinner event held at The Beverly Hilton on Sunday (December 11) in Beverly Hills, Calif.
There, Viola was joined by co-stars and friends, Octavia Spencer, Andra Day, Katie Lowes, Adam Shapiro, and Judge Greg Mathis and Greg Mathis Jr., and also by her family, husband Julius Tennon and their daughter, Genesis.
Viola was honored for her work on and off screen, through the production company she founded, JuVee Productions, as well as for championing various social causes including human rights, fighting bigotry and racism for the underserved and invisible.
If you missed it, Viola was just nominated for a Golden Globe!
FYI: Viola is wearing a dress by St. John.
