Supporting Actress winners of yore have just walked in to welcome someone new to the club. This is special. Eva Marie Saint isn't just a member, she's also a fan -- in this case, of Viola Davis, who can't quite believe it. This might be better than winning. "Bless you, Amy," says a very funny (if tackily dressed) Whoopi Goldberg to Amy Adams. The writers are making it work, too. Judging from the tears in everybody's eyes, the nominees are already winners.
