Colman Domingo’s Busy Season: Oscars, Spielberg, SNL and Directorial Debut
Colman Domingo’s Busy Season
The Emmy‑winning actor and playwright is at the center of a whirlwind of high‑profile projects. Domingo earned back‑to‑back Academy Award nominations for Best Actor for his portrayals in Rustin (2023) and the prison drama Sing Sing (2023), and a Golden Globe nod for the latter in 2024.
In June, he joins Steven Spielberg’s anticipated sci‑fi action blockbuster, tentatively titled Disclosure Day, alongside Emily Blunt and Josh O’Connor. The film will mark Domingo’s first major studio lead since his acclaimed turn in Fear the Walking Dead (2015‑2023).
Domingo’s television milestone arrives on April 11, when he hosts Saturday Night Live with Brazilian pop star Anitta as musical guest, a first for the actor.
Beyond acting, he steps behind the camera: Hollywood reports confirm Domingo will direct the upcoming biopic Scandalous!, his feature‑film directorial debut. The project, linked to veteran actress Kim Novak, promises to explore a mid‑century Hollywood scandal.
With awards buzz, a Spielberg collaboration, a live‑TV debut, and a directorial launch, Domingo’s 2026 agenda underscores his expanding influence across screen, stage and now the director’s chair.
