GOSSIP - Tigre Viola! Look total black da Tina Turner in libera uscita per la Davis di "HTGAWM"

Viola Davis of "How To Get Away With Murder" is slaying the fashion game! The Oscar winning actress was seen walking through LAX Airport in a sheer top, looking amazing on Monday (April 24) in Los Angeles. Viola was joined by her husband Julius Tennon for her flight. If you missed it, Viola was recently named one of Time 100′s most influential people in the world for 2017! Viola graced the cover of the magazine as well.

GOSSIP - Poca Viola e molte spine. La Davis di "HTGAWM": "A Hollywood gli afro-americani sono ancora limitati"

Viola Davis shows off her stunning smile on the cover of InStyle‘s January 2016 issue, on newsstands December 11. Here is what the 50-year-old How to Get Away with Murder actress had to share with the mag:

On marriage: “I’ve learned that it’s not always about you. Marriage is a dying to yourself, but [also this] renewing and being born into a state of commitment, of understanding the value of partnership in life.”

On African-American women in Hollywood: “Unwritten racial casting rules absolutely still exist. I’ve played many best friends, crack-addicted mothers, next-door neighbors, or professionals with no personal lives. It goes back to perception. There is a limitation to how we are seen.”

On aging: “What’s released me most from the fear of aging is self-awareness. I’ve never determined my value based on my looks or anything physical. I’ve been through a lot in life, and what has gotten me through is strength of character and faith.”

NEWS  - Game of Emmys! Ecco come l'ultima edizione può aver cambiato/rimescolato le carte in tavola (la vittoria di un fantasy la dice lunga...)

Post di Brian Lowry su "Variety"
New voting system, infusion of new members, same old Emmys? In some respects, yes, but with a very significant – indeed, one might say dragon-sized – asterisk, in the outstanding drama award that went to the hugely popular but heretofore overlooked “Game of Thrones” representing a rare and welcome breakthrough for a genre series. Beyond capping a splendid and dominating night for HBO, the Television Academy finally recognized a fantasy epic that is, by any measure, no pretender to the throne — the series scooped a record-breaking 12 Emmy Awards this year.
Combine that with stellar and crowd-pleasing honors for Jon Hamm and Viola Davis in the lead drama categories, and Jeffrey Tambor on the comedy side, and Emmy organizers should wake up feeling pretty good (or at least relieved) by most of the choices, while leaving behind ample room for the inevitable griping about snubs.
The perception that the academy is old and fusty (just ask “Sons of Anarchy’s” Kurt Sutter, or “The Walking Dead” fans) hasn’t been helped in recent years by its consistent refusal to acknowledge programs in the sci-fi and fantasy realm, even with “Lost” winning a decade ago. And while there’s no way to know if procedural changes in the voting smoothed the way for “Thrones’” victory, the fact that the mega-hit finally made it over the wall – sweetened by its Sunday-night wins for directing, writing and Peter Dinklage – clearly seemed overdue.

For all that, much of the ceremony still felt in keeping with Emmy Awards past – that is, a few new faces thrown in with a plethora of familiar ones, including repeat winners and a few near category-wide sweeps.
The abundance of first-rate programs and performances gave voters a lot of ways to go without embarrassing themselves, although the parade of talent associated with HBO’s splendid miniseries “Olive Kitteridge” couldn’t help but come at the expense of some very worthy players, none more so than Mark Rylance (“Wolf Hall”) and Queen Latifah (“Bessie”).

As for variety series, “The Daily Show’s” sweep of program, directing and writing honors was an appropriate valedictory sendoff for Jon Stewart’s tenure, balanced by a newly introduced sketch award to Comedy Central’s “Inside Amy Schumer.” Like a lot of categories Sunday, the real shame was that David Letterman couldn’t share in the glory.
Certainly, the comedy voting exhibited some of the academy’s more hallowed tendencies, returning to repeat winner Tony Hale and perennial favorites Allison Janney and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who should have the steps to the Nokia Theater stage memorized. That’s not to say they didn’t deserve more hardware, only that repeat awards can’t help but feel a trifle deflating excitement-wise with so many admirable contenders. (Even switching from comedy to drama couldn’t stop “Orange Is the New Black’s” Uzo Aduba).
If “Modern Family’s” best-comedy run had to come to an end, “Veep” – which had what was likely its best season – felt like a much safer choice to swing the axe than “Transparent,” which would have represented an enormous coup for Amazon’s fledgling original-series efforts. As it was, the streaming service didn’t exactly settle, earning awards for series creator Jill Soloway and Tambor, perhaps the clearest-cut acting selection in a night filled with races that could have reasonably gone in different directions.

After all the buzz about greater diversity at this year’s awards, the academy also delivered on that score, with Davis’ overpowering work in “How to Get Away With Murder” marking a milestone for African-American actresses, joined by Aduba and Regina King, who made the most of a relatively small role in ABC’s “American Crime.”
In terms of the amended rules, the big change involved dispensing with Blue Ribbon panels, which as conducted shrank the voting pool but insured that those who choose, say, best TV movie actually watched all the candidates. Instead, the selections were opened up to the entire membership, making the process more democratic on its face. What nobody can know, of course, is how many of those members cast ballots based on reputation, in much the way people check off Superior Court judges and school board members on election day.
Still, even if the Emmys turned into one big popularity contest, “Thrones” – a landmark drama – can finally enjoy a feast where no one gets killed, and most of the right folks won. While there’s no such thing as an awards show now that’s going to satisfy everyone in our fragmented media landscape, when was the last time the Television Academy – or just about any large group that votes on stuff – could say that?

L'EDICOLA DI LOU - Shonda su onda! "EW" dedica ben 4 cover alle "creature" della Rhimes... 
Shonda Rhimes and her leading ladies, Kerry Washington, Ellen Pompeo, and Viola Davis take the cover of EW‘s latest issue!
There are four separate covers highlighting Shonda‘s hit ABC shows Grey’s Anatomy, How to Get Away with Murder, and Scandal. Here’s what the cast had to share about their shows:
Ellen, on the sexist response to McDreamy: “All of a sudden, ­Patrick [Dempsey] leaves, and it’s like, Oh my God, ­Meredith’s gonna get killed with Alzheimer’s! The show couldn’t possibly go on ­without the man!”
Viola, on colorism in the entertainment industry: “You have to come from Detroit or Atlanta to be black. If you have John Denver on your iPod and you come from Central Falls, Rhode Island, then: Eh, you trickle-down black woman.”
Kerry, on why it’s different to work for a female showrunner: “I was talking to an actress who’s pregnant and really worried about telling her bosses, and I said, ‘Yeah, when I told my boss I was pregnant, she literally jumped up and down in my trailer.’ I don’t know if there’s a male show­runner who would do that.”

L'EDICOLA DI LOU - Sei attrici in cerca di dramma! "THR" riunisce le mejo attrici drama per una storica cover con annessa tavola rotonda

Six Emmy contenders Taraji P. Henson, Viola Davis, Lizzy Caplan, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jessica Lange, and Ruth Wilson take the cover of The Hollywood Reporter‘s latest issue, hitting stands this week. They speak candidly during a roundtable about race, sexism, aging, nudity and typecasting.
Viola on what most appealed to her and scared her about playing the lead in a Shonda Rhimes drama (How To Get Away With Murder): There was absolutely no precedent for it. I had never seen a 49-year-old, dark-skinned woman who is not a size 2 be a sexualized role in TV or film. I’m a sexual woman, but nothing in my career has ever identified me as a sexualized woman. I was the prototype of the “mommified” role. Then all of a sudden, this part came, and fear would be an understatement. When I saw myself for the first time in the pilot episode, I was mortified. I saw the fake eyelashes and, “Are you kidding me? Who is going to believe this?” And then I thought: “OK, this is your moment to not typecast yourself, to play a woman who is sexualized and do your investigative work to find out who this woman is and put a real woman on TV who’s smack-dab in the midst of this pop fiction.
Maggie on a specific point in her career when she felt the bravest: I had a rape scene in The Honorable Woman where it was clearly written that she’d be saying, “No, no, please, no,” right away. But I wanted her to be complicit and wanting it; the darkest, most painful sex, right up until the point it turned into rape. I wanted her to want something she knew she shouldn’t want. I can sometimes tell when actors fought an ordinary approach to a scene, and I’m so glad they did because it tells a better story.
Lizzy on if it’s tough to do a lot of nudity on Masters of Sex: I was more afraid of doing nudity on [HBO’s] True Blood. It got easier after that, but I’m not ever 100 percent comfortable. There was a scene last season where I take my robe off, I’m naked and then transition into locked-eye [with Michael Sheen’s character], full-on masturbation from beginning to end. We have a female showrunner who considers herself a prude, so the sex scenes always move the story forward. But I remember being in my trailer before that scene and thinking for the first time since the show started: “I really don’t want to go out there and do this.”
