You Will Love What Oprah Got Viola Davis After Her Big Emmys Win
Viola Davis stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Thursday to talk about her history-making win at the Emmys on Sunday. Viola, who became the first black woman to win best actress in a drama series for her work on How to Get Away With Murder, talked to Ellen about a very special gift she received after her big night. Oprah Winfrey congratulated the actress by sending her a massive bouquet of flowers and some very expensive Champagne. "She sent me Jay Z's Champagne," Viola said. "And you know, I always look it up online to see how much it costs. That's very tacky of me, I know. And then I drink it real slow." So how much does a bottle of Jay Z's finest cost? $450! But Viola quickly joked, "You know, Oprah's got a lot of money." Watch the funny clip above, and then check out Viola's inspiring acceptance speech.
