Danielle Brooks is definitely overjoyed at her Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for The Color Purple, after all the many, many years of hard graft she has put into her craft. The Color Purple follows Celie (Barrino) as she contends with abuse from all sides, including from her husband (Domingo), but finally takes back her life and realizes her worth, in part thanks to the unstoppable Sofia (Brooks) and singer Shug Avery ( Taraji P. Henson). Currently in New Zealand, Brooks is shooting the film Minecraft, directed by Jared Hess and co-starring Jason Momoa, Jennifer Coolidge and Jack Black.
