This year’s Oscars were full of mishaps. But perhaps the biggest mistake was made by Viola Davis in accepting her award for Best Supporting Actress.
In a tearful acceptance speech, David had the gall to compare Hollywood celebrities to actual American heroes.
In one line that could very well ruin her career, Viola stated:
“I became an artist and thank God I did because we are the only profession that celebrates what it means to live a life.”
Seriously, in a profession where she’s paid to make believe and where her personal life is lived out inside a privileged bubble, Viola thinks she and fellow Hollywood actors are the only people living REAL lives.

America STRONGLY disagreed.
Davis was RIPPED TO SHREDS on Twitter for making such an ridiculous comment.
If acting is the only profession that "celebrates what it means to live a life," then what are the rest of us doing? #Oscars

Which life are they celebrating? Does she understand they are "actors" that reward each other?@ABC @violadavis

The arrogance of Hollywood truly knows no bounds.
Never mind professionals who actually SAVE lives, PROTECT lives, and DEFEND lives…#HollywoodNarcissism https://t.co/5CP8nBslp4
