Colman Domingo is up for three NAACP Image Awards including the President’s Award
Between awards and upcoming movies, the West Philly native has a busy spring ahead.
Colman Domingo will be presented with the President’s Award at the 57th NAACP Image Awards, Saturday, Feb. 28.
The West Philly native and Temple alum is also nominated for the NAACP Image award for outstanding supporting actor in a comedy series and outstanding director in a comedy series for his work on Netflix’ comedy series The Four Seasons.
“Colman Domingo represents the power of creativity to bring people together and move culture forward,” BET president Louis Carr said in a statement earlier this week. “At BET our commitment has always been to community, culture, and connection. Colman’s impact reflects those values in action.”
The NAACP President’s Award is presented for public service. Previous awardees include Dave Chappelle, Usher, Gabrielle Union-Wade, and LeBron James.
Domingo took home the NAACP Image Award for outstanding actor in 2024 for his work in Netflix’ Rustin and the trophy for outstanding supporting actor for The Color Purple.
In early February, Deadline reported the biopic Domingo is working on about legendary singer Nat King Cole will be called Unforgettable. Domingo cowrote the script and will direct, produce, and star in the movie. The film will follow Cole’s success as a musician and quiet revolutionary navigating racial justice. It is set to begin filming at the end of the year.
Domingo will deliver the commencement address at Temple University this spring and will receive an honorary degree. The ceremony will be held at the school’s Liacouras Center on May 6, 2026.
The NAACP Image Awards will air live from the Pasadena Civic Auditorium on Saturday, Feb. 28, at 8 p.m. Eastern on BET and CBS.
