Cecil B. DeMille Award recipient Viola Davis wore Gucci to the 2025 Golden Globes

Viola Davis was the recipient of Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes, which was presented at a different ceremony. While I would have liked to see Viola get her flowers last night, her speech was phenomenal and much longer than she would have been given at the main event. She talked about her childhood in poverty, and about her love of the craft and how she inhabited those characters that no one cared about. It was fascinating to watch and made me cry, like so many of her performances. Plus I came away feeling so inspired. Do yourself a favor and watch her speech, I'm embedding it . . .
