Viola Davis just won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role “Fences,” but it’s this line from her acceptance speech that has conservatives on Twitter talking right now:
. @violadavis says Hollywood is "the only profession that celebrates what it means to live a life". #Absurd

She left out a few professions, eh? Like doctors:

And nurses:

What about aid workers?
Wait, are actors the only profession that knows how to celebrate a life? What about doctors? And people doing humanitarian work?

. @violadavis minimizes the contributions of journalists, US military personnel, school teachers, etc https://t.co/UjVsGpVJP4
