We're thrilled that Colman Domingo has been nominated for Actor in a Leading Role at the 2024
#Oscars
for his powerful performance as Bayard Rustin, a key figure in the civil rights movement.
We completely agree that Colman Domingo's historic nomination should be celebrated - and we wanted to call out this moment in a separate post. We will continue working hard to bring light to the wins of the Latino community in the arts.
Colman marks the first Afro-Latino nominated for best actor and the second openly gay man to earn a nomination for playing a gay character. This is a reminder that our storytelling must be as diverse as our racial and ethnic makeup. Congrats, Colman!
We couldn’t agree more with
@JoaquinCastrotx
: “It’s clear that Hollywood — America’s narrative-creating and image-defining institution — is broadly failing to acknowledge or include the Latino community.”
“Blue Beetle isn’t to make me the next heartthrob or biggest star. It’s to show people, ‘Hey, these stories about Latinos don’t have just to be about narcos or crossing the border or being a gang member.’ ”
