Fantasia and Danielle Brooks both earned Golden Globe nominations for their roles in "The Color Purple" despite the film not receiving a Best Motion Picture nomination.

The Color Purple is yet to be seen in theaters, but it has already earned two stars from the musical film, Fantasia and Danielle Brooks, Golden Globe nominations. On the 11th of December, the nominations for the 2024 Golden Globe Awards were announced and Fantasia and Danielle Brooks were both nominated for the first time.

Fantasia, who stars as Celie in the musical remake, was nominated for Best Actress, and Danielle Brooks was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture. Fantasia said that she had previously said in interviews that she would never play the role of Celie again due to post-traumatic stress, but thankfully she did not allow fear to stand in her way.

When Fantasia heard the news, she called her husband first. She recalled, “I remember picking up the phone, and he was screaming. That’s when he told me I had been nominated for a Golden Globe, and I started crying. This has been a long time coming for me.” Fantasia noted that she had to have patience throughout her entertainment career and things would come through in the end.

Fantasia hopes to do more acting, release new music, and enjoy her family in the future. “I would love to do more movies and challenge myself in other roles because I love working,” she said. “But most importantly, I want to help heal as Celie did in this story. I am so proud of her. I want to share my home and bless people with resources and the things they need.”

Although Fantasia and Danielle Brooks earned Golden Globe nominations, many are unhappy with the overall snub The Color Purple received. It was not nominated for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, nor was Taraji P. Henson named in the Best Supporting Actress category, according to Forbes.

Fantasia Barrino is emerging stronger in Hollywood and is also exploring a new wine business venture. It is clear that Fantasia is a rising star and is sure to make more great accomplishments in the near future.
