It was a big day for Sony at yesterday's CinemaCon panel on their upcoming projects.

Despite only premiering on Showtime on April 17th, Viola Davis has already received intense criticism from the public regarding her portrayal of Michelle Obama in "The First Lady." Firing back at the backlash, Davis addressed the controversy in a BBC interview, where she expressed her displeasure toward critics and criticism in general by saying, "Critics absolutely serve no purpose. And I'm not saying that to be nasty either."
