Congratulations Are In Order....Viola Davis & Octavia Spencer!!!
Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer woke up a little different this morning than they ever did before…as Screen Actors Guild (SAG) winners. Both Ms. Davis and Ms. Spencer won two awards for their roles in the film The Help.
It was some night for the movie for and the two women. Viola Davis took home the SAG award for Outstanding Performance By A Female Actor In A Leading Role and Octavia Spencer took home the award for Outstanding Performance By A Female Actor In A Supporting Role as well as both women winning for the Outstanding Performance By A Cast In A Motion Picture.
This is the first win for Ms. Davis but this was her second time around being nominated. In 2008 she was she nominated for an Oscar for her role in Doubt. This is the first of what I hope to be many for Ms. Spencer. Next up is the Oscars and everybody knows that most of these award shows follow suit in the winners category…lets keep our fingers crossed for Viola and Octavia.
My boy Steve Buscemi also won big last night for his role as Nucky Thompson on HBO's Boardwalk Empire. Steve won the respectable Male Actor in a Drama Series award ...this was well deserved for the seasoned actor.
