Colman Domingo reflected on his Oscar nomination
Colman Domingo became a first-time Oscar nominee Tuesday morning for his leading role in Rustin, the biopic of openly gay civil rights advocate Bayard Rustin directed by George C. Wolfe. During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Domingo was asked that since he has been working in this industry for many years and has done so many incredible roles how it felt to be receiving this sort of acknowledgment. The actor replied, "This has been such a long, winding journey. I never expected this kind of success."
The Rustin star continued, "I knew I was dedicated to the work. And wherever it showed up, whether it was in regional theaters, Broadway, off-Broadway, I just wanted to do good work. When I got this opportunity, I just knew I was ready for it. And to lead a film in this way, especially a film about Bayard Rustin, the way we did it with this incredible director, George C. Wolfe, I was receiving some of the gifts of my career."
The interviewer then asked him when he first received the script for Rustin, what was his initial impression. "When I first received the script, I was very happy that Bayard Rustin’s story was being told. He’s someone I knew about, but I know many people didn’t know about him. And the approach, I thought, was unique. It felt very small and personal, about this person who did so much and gave so much for our civil liberties," Domingo replied.
Domingo added, "And so the one thing I knew was, I think I have everything inside me and the experience and the curiosity and the wherewithal to approach this work. I’m not a person who says “Oh, I got this, I have to do it.” I just felt like I had everything I needed and [was] curious about it. I think it was a moment of gratitude — deep, profound gratitude — that someone would trust me with this work, especially coming from the Obamas and Higher Ground and Bruce Cohen and George C. Wolfe."
