Yes, Colman Domingo has been nominated for the Oscars in the category of Best Actor for his performance in the Netflix film Rustin. Domingo’s marvelous performance in the film as the civil rights activist, Bayard Rustin, gained him plenty of praise and appreciation.

Domingo, who is the first black gay movie star according to Out, reveals that he was cleaning the bathroom when he and his husband found out that he was nominated for Best Actor at the Oscars. According to an interview with Gay Times, Domingo reminisced how he found out about being an Oscar nominee when asked about the same.

He said, “My body decided to wake me up sooner than I wanted to. I was like, ‘I have to do something,’ so I started cleaning out one of my closets. My husband sat in front of the fireplace with his coffee watching the news feed. As he was listening, I would walk around the house. I would end up back in the bedroom, listening a little bit, cheering on some friends, and then I would go into the closet.

Domingo added, “It started getting closer to my category, so I decided to go into the bathroom. I was just pacing. Then, I heard a ding on my phone because the feed was coming in, maybe ten seconds faster on the East Coast.”

“It was my manager saying, ‘Congratulations Oscar nominee.’ I don’t know if it was complete shock, but I didn’t respond at all, because it didn’t seem real. I then looked over at my husband, who was still listening, and I heard ‘Bradley Cooper’ and ‘Colman Domingo.’ My husband completely lays on the floor and starts crying. That’s when my brain caught up so then I started crying. I picked him up and we jumped up and down. Then, it was joy. It was great,“ concluded the Rustin actor.
