Discussing his back-to-back noms, Colman had a megawatt smile. “It’s amazing, the second time around,” he began. “I feel so blessed… I’ve been having a peaceful, beautiful day.” Interviewer Nischelle pressed on about his repeated experience, asking, “Is it a different peace?” to which Colman wholeheartedly agreed.

Disney/Randy Holmes Colman Domingo earned an Oscar nomination for his performance in the A24 film Sing Sing. It’s his second straight nod in the Best Actor category after getting nominated for his role in Rustin last year.

Colman Domingo, a best actor nominee last year for Rustin and this year for Sing Sing, is the first person to earn best actor Oscar nominations in back-to-back years since Denzel Washington did so for Fences in 2017 and Roman J.
