During her acceptance speech Davis thanked her co-star and director Denzel Washington, her husband and baby girl, and her dad, who she called the original version of the character whose wife she plays in Fences.

Also, while presenting the Cecil B. DeMille Award to her, Davis offered an emotional tribute to Hollywood veteran Meryl Streep, calling her a “muse.”
