Congratulations to the incomparable EGOT-winning actress, producer, author, and icon Viola Davis on being honored with a wax figure in Madame Tussauds! The renowned wax museum unveiled her regal wax figure, adorned in a beautiful red Armani gown and a sleek pixie cut with a complementary bracelet and metallic clutch. The costume is a tribute to her glamorous 2017 Oscars red carpet look, honoring her win for Best Supporting Actress for her striking performance in the 2016 film adaptation of Fences.

Gina Prince-Bythewood is bringing one of our fiction fan-favorites to life in her film adaptation of Tomi Adeyemi’s debut and New York Times bestselling novel of the same name, Children of Blood and Bone (2018)—the first literary installment of the “Legacy of Orïsha” trilogy. The film, to be released by Paramount Pictures, features a star-studded cast, including Thuso Mbedu, Amandla Stenberg, Damson Idris, and Tosin Cole. The young adult romantic fantasy novel follows Zélie (Mbedu) and her older brother Tzain (Cole) as they team up with Princess Amari (Stenberg) and Prince Inan (Idris), the king’s children, to rebel against his oppressive reign. 

Viola Davis is set to take on an electrifying new role in the action thriller G20, premiering globally on Prime Video on April 10. Directed by Patricia Riggen, the film casts Davis as U.S. President Danielle Sutton, a war hero turned political leader, who must outwit attackers targeting the annual G20 summit.

Celebrated actress Viola Davis will be honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the 2025 Golden Globes. The award, recognizing her exceptional contributions to entertainment, will be presented during the star-studded gala hosted by Nikki Glaser on Friday, January 3, at the Beverly Hilton.
