Congratulations are in order for Viola Davis.

The seasoned actress is the latest name to receive a star on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame. 

Presented with the honor by Meryl Streep, the ‘How To Get Away With Murder’ anchor was cheered on by her husband Julius Tennon and their daughter Genesis.

The seismic salute arrives a week before Davis is honored with a career retrospective by BAFTA in London and a week after the debut of her new film ‘Fences’

Co-starring Denzel Washington, the flick has already nabbed major nominations at the Golden Globes and is tipped to repeat the feat when the Oscar noms are announced later this month.

For now though, peep more from Viola’s big day after the jump…

Much deserved!
