Colman Domingo had a night to remember, even though he wasn’t there to celebrate in person! At the recent 55th NAACP Image Awards, Domingo won a whopping two awards for his incredible acting performances. But before we get into his big wins, let’s find out a bit more about the NAACP Image Awards.
What are the NAACP Image Awards?
The NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) is an organization that works to ensure the rights of Black people in the United States. Every year, they hold the NAACP Image Awards to celebrate outstanding achievements by Black people in film, television, music, and literature. It’s a big night for Black actors, actresses, singers, writers, and directors to be recognized for their amazing work.
Double Trouble! Winning Big!
So, back to Colman Domingo! This talented actor wasn’t physically present at the awards ceremony, but that didn’t stop him from winning big. He actually won two NAACP Image Awards:
- Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture for his role in the movie Rustin.
- Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture for his role in the movie The Color Purple.
That’s right, Domingo impressed the judges with his acting in two different movies!
Rustin: A Story of Bravery
In the movie Rustin, Domingo plays a real-life hero named Bayard Rustin. Rustin was a brave man who fought for the rights of Black people and gay people at a time when it wasn’t easy. The movie tells the story of Rustin’s role in organizing a very important march for equality.
The Color Purple: A Beloved Classic
Domingo also took on a challenging role in the movie The Color Purple. This movie is based on a famous book of the same name. Domingo plays a character named Mister, who is not a very nice person. But Domingo’s performance helped viewers understand the character and the difficult life experiences that shaped him.
Accepting the Awards from Afar
Although Domingo couldn’t be there in person, he did send a message to thank the NAACP and everyone who voted for him. He apologized for missing the ceremony because he was busy working on another project, but he was clearly very happy about his wins.
