Viola Davis may have just set a precedent for other A-listers amid the ongoing SAG-WGA strikes.
It's a bold move, and speaks volumes on where Viola's priorities are. Like we said, just the other day ... the producers behind"G20" got the green light to go ahead and continue with production -- even though Amazon is obviously a major studio. The fact an independent production company, MRC, is also behind it appears to be the reason it got a pass.
In any case, it would seem moving forward while thousands of other actors are on the picket lines wasn't sitting well with her ... which is interesting, because a lot of other big stars are also attached to independent flicks right now that got SAG waivers as well.
