Viola Davis received the Chaplin Award, honoring her work as an actor and producer. And I LOVE HER and I wanted to love this unequivocally, but I guess... in the spirit of filmmaking, I do have some notes. Also, interestingly, the two major stars there to support here were Meryl Streep -- co-star in *Doubt*, for which Viola was nominated for her first Oscar -- and Jessica Chastain, who co-starred in *The Help*, for which Viola was WIDELY expected to win the Oscar... until she lost to Meryl for *The Iron Lady*, in a move that I think even Meryl thought was batshit. They must have bonded over it. I would have loved to see more folks from *The Woman King* here, since that's a movie Viola produced, but I am not in charge of these things.
