Colman Domingo on Oprah's 'Naughty' Birthday Move

Colman Domingo, star of Sing Sing and recent Oscar nominee for Rustin, has shared his admiration for Oprah Winfrey after a memorable experience at Ava DuVernay's 50th birthday party. On a recent episode of Kelly Ripa's podcast, Let's Talk Off Camera, Domingo recounted how Winfrey, known for her lavish lifestyle, hosted the party in 2022 at her stunning Maui property.

Domingo described Winfrey's celebration as a lavish affair with comfort food prepared by two chefs, featuring truffles and other elegant Southern dishes. He also noted Winfrey’s penchant for tequila, which she prominently featured at the event.

Recalling the fun at the party, Domingo shared that Winfrey surprised everyone by bringing out a tray of tequila shots, aiming to ensure everyone had a great time. This moment of spontaneity is a testament to Winfrey's love for lively gatherings and her ability to create a relaxed atmosphere.

Aside from their party antics, Domingo and Winfrey share a connection through cinema. Winfrey was famously in The Color Purple (1985) and later produced the 2023 musical adaptation, in which Domingo played a significant role. This new film adaptation earned Danielle Brooks an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress, the same role Winfrey was nominated for in the original film.
