"Our lives matter as African Americans." .. Viola Davis
"You know, my father groomed horses at the racetrack and he had a fifth grade education, and he was a janitor towards the end of his life, when he died of cancer at a McDonald's," she said.
Best Supporting Actress Viola Davis continued her quest for Oscars glory with another win at tonight's BAFTA Film Awards for her role in Denzel Washington's Fences – and gave an emotional speech to boot.
While other hosts and winners tackled the political with their speeches during tonight's ceremony, Viola went for a personal approach with her acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actress.
Paying tribute to Fences writer August Wilson and her late father, it's also a strong contender for the most emotional speech of the night, so tissues at the ready.
