Viola Davis: Genesis Is A "Blessing For Us"

Viola Davis has a lot to be happy about these days. She earned raves earlier this year for her performance in the hit movie The Help, and in October the actress adopted daughter Genesis with husband Julius Tennon.

"She's wonderful," Davis told Us Weekly. "A complete and total blessing for us."

And Tony Winner Viola seems to be on a roll – she and her fellow castmates from The Help – Emma Stone, Bryce Dallas Howard, Octavia Spencer and Allison Janney – won the Hollywood Ensemble Cast Award at the 15th Annual Hollywood Film Awards Gala on Monday.

Genesis is the first child for Viola, who wed Julius in June of 2003. He has two children from previous relationships.
