Viola Davis already acts her ass off on How to Get Away with Murder, so it's a smart move pairing her with Cicely Tyson, who masterfully played Annalise Keating's mom on Thursday night's How to Get Away with Murder. The most intense moment in the episode was a scene where they addressed rape and molestation.
On tonight's Scandal, there's still a bidding war going on for Olivia Pope, who's been kind of okay at doing her own negotiating so far. Meanwhile on How to Get Away with Murder, CICELY TYSON is guest starring.
Tonight: Murder, intrigue, Olivia Pope! WHAT'S GOING ON AND HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT ALL THIS?
Tonight on Scandal, Olivia Pope is still a hostage and now being used as a pawn for a potential war. Can Fitz or Jake just hurry up and save the day?
Your wine bottle should be half-empty at this point if you are a good human being. Time for some Annalise shade.
Stop crying, ShondaLand is back. Both Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder return to television tonight and there will be open threads here. Last we left off, Olivia Pope was apparently kidnapped. As for HTGAWM, we now know who killed Sam. Just read this and catch up.http://jezebel.com/how-to-get-awa...
Let it be known that Viola Davis kills speeches in real life, too.
Someone find Lee Daniels, Kenya Barris, Shonda Rhimes and Jennie Snyder Urman and hug them: their television successes with Empire, Black-ish, How to Get Away with Murder and Jane the Virgin are opening doors for other diverse shows. Give thanks!
During Wednesday night's People's Choice Awards, wearing a bold gown and a solid wig choice, Viola Davis took the stage to accept the award for Favorite Actress in a New TV Series. She thanked lots of people—her daughter, her husband, Shonda Rhimes. She also managed to slip in a little dig at The New York Times.
Comic fans are freaking out because Viola Davis may have been cast as villain Amanda "The Wall" Waller in the DC Comics-based movie, Suicide Squad.
As executive producer of a weekly lineup comprised of Grey's Anatomy, Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder, Shonda Rhimes had us glued to a couch (or whatever you sit on) every Thursday night—particularly impressive, given how much TV viewing is done via laptop or DVR. While some people criticize the soap opera…
Not new news: Shonda Rhimes is winning and ABC couldn't be happier. The network's #TGIT-branded Thursday night lineup featuring Grey's Anatomy, Scandal and How to Get the Way with Murder broke a record in ratings during November sweeps.
Who killed Sam? Well, it's not the person I thought. Or is it? Maybe. It probably is, not really. But what did I really think? Wait, did I do it? That's a recap of my thought process during Thursday night's winter finale of How to Get Away with Murder.
Aka, Who Killed Sam?? No more theories and speculation. In tonight's winter finale, we finally find out.
Last we left off, the dead girl was pregnant and this is Annalise's reaction.
In tonight's episode, "He Deserved to Die," a judge in Rebecca's case imposes a gag order. As if that's really gonna stop Annalise. There's a murder to be solved.
Six episodes into How to Get Away with Murder, I've asked myself, "Why am I still watching this?" While the freakish twists and cliffhangers make for good shock value, I barely care about the supporting characters. The reason I've stayed dedicated is, without a doubt, Viola Davis' performance as Annalise Keating.
TGIT, it's time for another Shondaland open thread! "What do you want?" We want your comments below. Who's watching?
How to Get Away with Murder is beating Scandal and Kerry Washington's quivering bottom lip in ratings. ABC's Shondaland strategy — diverse casts, inappropriate husbands (with dick pics!), confused faces (Wes, he never knows what's going on!) and good wigs (Viola, we see you!) — is working.
The makeup is off. The secret's out of the bag. The murder investigation is ongoing, and Annalise has a few questions for her husband. The title of this episode: "We're Not Friends."
