In the fantastic 2008 drama Doubt, Viola Davis is on screen for less than 15 minutes. Yet, in a movie starring acting heavyweights such as Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman, Davis' performance was one that garnered so much acclaim that she snagged a Best Supporting Actress nomination at the Oscars that year.
