Colman Domingo has extra reason to sing (sing)…

The 2024 Gotham Awards were doled out on Monday night at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City, with the 55-year-old Emmy-winning Belizean-Guatemalan American actor and activist taking home one of the top prizes.

Domingo won the award for Outstanding Lead Performance for his critically acclaimed performance as John “Divine G” Whitfield in A24’s Sing Sing.

Directed by Greg Kwedar, who co-wrote the screenplay and co-produced the film with Clint Bentley, Sing Sing is based on the real-life Rehabilitation Through the Arts program at Sing Sing Maximum Security Prison. It centers on a group of incarcerated men involved in the creation of theatrical stage shows through the program

Each category for nominations is decided by a different jury of critics, journalists and other industry professionals, and screening links must be provided to all its jury members. An entirely different group determines the winners. That’s in contrast with the Oscars or the BAFTAs, which are determined by actors, filmmakers and other artists who are in the entertainment industry.
