• Avantgarde Award — Viola Davis

Viola is the best—no doubt about it! One of the most acclaimed actors of her generation, she was named one of Time's most influential people in 2012 and 2017 and ranked 9th on The New York Times’ list of the greatest actors of the 21st century. With just one Grammy away from EGOT status, her Oscar win came for Fences, alongside three other nominations for Doubt, The Help, and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.

On TV, she made history as the first Black woman to win the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for How to Get Away with Murder. Beyond acting, Davis is a dedicated advocate for human rights and women of color and has been a L’Oréal Paris ambassador since 2019.

Now, Viola Davis is the proud recipient of our Avantgarde Award—a true icon in every sense!
