Both Viola Davis and Regina King perfectly capture the essence of a Black woman in the 2021 Oscar Issue of Entertainment Weekly. The issue, which features Viola Davis on one cover, Regina King on another cover, and Chloe Zhao on the other, dives into each category and discusses who is likely to take home the coveted Academy Award.
Entertainment Weekly’s Instagram post read, “Viola Davis. The powerhouse. With her record-breaking Best Actress nod, Davis proves she’s #Oscars royalty. But she’s also deeply aware of the struggle it took to get there and how far Hollywood still has to go in not only recognizing Black talent but exploring their stories in meaningful ways.
