Viola Davis speech left me in tears. She definitely deserved all the recognition
Every time Viola Davis opens her mouth, I get chills. She demands your attention without even trying. What an amazing speech. We are truly lucky to witness her greatness in our lifetime.
"Our crown has already been bought and paid for. All we got to do is wear it." Amen 🙏🏽
Thank you for showing us Black Excellence. 🖤
A Black Brit watching from Spain would like to thank you for showing the world where the true bar is set in our excellence level.
over and over in all the interviews I've watched I've noticed that Ryan Coogler doesn't code switch. At first it kinda took me aback. But I'm coming to realize that he shows up in all spaces as his authentic self and inadvertently is giving the people around him the courage to do the same. It's a beautiful thing to witness. I love me some him!!
Deon Cole KILLED the opening monologue! 🔥🔥🤣🤣
MC Lyte looked fabulous!
In a time when we all needed to hear these inspirational messages. Be proud of who you are because you are somebody!!! Don’t let these folks tell you otherwise.
My name is Katina. When Viola said that name, I broke down crying. She is such a pure soul🌺
I love seeing Spinderella on the stage with Salt n Pepa. The creativity, sisterhood and unity those 3 represent!
"I am somebody" 🔥
I'm actually about to sob. What a beautiful show. Blackness, beauty, excellence
Viola Davis’s speech was touching, she looked fabulous! ♥️♥️♥️🏆🤌🏾 Michael B Jordan is soo deserving, such an accomplished actor. Loved the highlights! 🫶🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥳
Ryan Coogler is that guy. He's going to be somebody we're still talking about 10, 20 years later. He seem genuine and will keep getting better as a storyteller.
After ‘bafta’ I’m certain it was so refreshing and NEEDED to be in that room LOVE’N on each other the way we do. 22:25
Nice to see US speaking so real and true about being who we are. We celebrate how great we are pretending to be other than ourselves, but the greatest lessons come from such experiences. That's why I love my people. We are amazing and brilliant.
Viola! 😍 you are the most beautiful woman around. Jeez!
🔥🔥 Outstanding 🔥Highlights 🔥🔥
I didn't realize all of those we had lost. So many I grew up watching on TV and screen. RIP
