4h agoAfter
winning a Grammy Award, Viola Davis has officially completed the holy grail of
entertainment awards.
Davis'
Sunday win for the audiobook of her memoir "Finding Me" completes her
EGOT collection. She previously won an Emmy for her role in "How to Get
Away with Murder," an Oscar for "Fences," and two Tony awards
for "King Hedley III" and "Fences."
Davis, 57,
won the award for "Best Audio Book, Narration, and Storytelling Recording,"
according to a tweet from the Recording Academy, which hosts the Grammys.
In her
acceptance speech, the multi-hyphenate performer paid tribute to her younger
self.
"I
wrote this book to honor the 6-year-old Viola," she said. "To honor
her life, her joy, her trauma, everything. And, it has just been such a journey
– I just EGOT!"
Davis'
career has been studded with awards and firsts. In 2015, she became the first
Black woman to win an Emmy for best actress in a drama and in 2017, she became
the first Black woman to score three Academy Award nominations.
