I think Danielle Brooks will win the oscar, she gave such a big performance yet her persona is so sweet humble almost understated.

[@PatrickVerst]

She was so amazing in this role 👏

[@peachesandpoets]

Seriously if this movie gets robbed we will know the awards are meaningless. It's already crazy that Whoopi didn't win for the original

[@TheAs63401]

I said the same thing! The Oscar goes to Danielle!!!

[@rachelle_banks]

​@@peachesandpoetsYeah that's probably one of the biggest "huh?" moments.

[@colleenmcnaughton3634]

I want her or America Ferrera to win the Oscar. Both of them had such fierce, independent yet vulnerable roles in their respected films.

[@mdoz730]

Fantasia has always had a natural alluring aura to her. She is stunning !

[@SarahAppleb]

Jennifer did really good interviewing them all without any overshine for each cast member. I was able to get a feel for everybody ❤

[@dontbeahypocrite5]

You are so right. I hate it when interviewers do that, when they make some people not feel important.

[@beverlyarndt5554]

Incredible, natural job of interviewing by Jennifer… can’t wait to see this 🙂

[@kaybee6183]

Fantasia wanted to dish about American Idol LOL

[@carriebeausoleil5479]

They stole most of the script and scenes from a funny play version reenactment from students from Lakewood High School in Saint Petersburg, Florida. They did dis in 2011 all the videos r deleted so they can lie and take credit 4 other people's ideas 💡 they thought 💭 we forgot. the book is different from dis.

@@carriebeausoleil5479do you have the receipts I would love to see it. I have family that attended that high school during that time. Research is essential I’m on it

[@LuNeleh]

Danielle Brooks PLAYED that Sophia role!! Omg, she bodied Sophia! The entire movie is amazing!

[@TheAs63401]

She deserves the Oscar!

[@meggancutright1678]

Yes! Indeed she did that , she's the reason that I keep watching it over and over again

[@raquelbruce7447]

How about I got chills when I see Whoopie being a midwife to the new Celie?? Talk about symbolism! Helping her birth something new into thr world!! talk about a full circle moment!

I just saw it tonight. Wonderful movie. I cried twice.

[@vinnie619]

Thank you Jennifer Hudson and Warner Brothers for letting me see the movie the day before the taping of this show. When I found out that morning that you were having the cast on I was so happy. When the women all came out I was jumping up and down and starting crying. Thank you!!

[@thehoneydeev]

How did you get to watch it early? It can be an inspiration for 2024 new pathways 🤗

[@vinnie619]

We had tickets to the JHud Show taping and a few days before the they offered a chance to see it before the taping. That was a blessing in itself, but then find out the date of the taping the cast was the guest, we were so happy. We did not know what our show was about.@@thehoneydeev

[@alextyer5760]

You can see the passion this cast has. Wow. You very rarely see this passion between a cast and a film, obviously it’s incredibly special.

[@nelsonkaovere7427]

It's incredible to see black power all over my screen when I watched this interview. We've certainly, rightfully so, made it so extremely far and to be able to still be breathing in this era when black power is being celebrated and honoured. It's fantastic y'all. JHud did an incredible job with this interview. I say so with all goodness because she's always been my girl. Seeing the gifted Fantasia, wow! Taraji, she's a force with every role she's given. Danielle, damn.... They all deserve an award for their performance in this movie. 🎉🎉

[@kmartinify]

Jennifer Hudson did amazing! I learned so many things about the cast members. And the interview felt so authentic and had so much depth compared to other interviews. I was hooked the entire interview.

[@lillianwilliams5510]

It is almost sacrilegious that Ms.Henson, talks so positive, before the premiere and then to attack, OPRAH AFTER THE MOVIE PREMIERED. I UNDERSTAND HER PROTEST,BUT SHE TURNED A BEAUTIFUL PRODUCTION, INTO A BACKLASH.

[@christinespiers-wy9kr]

I remember when Fantasia sang the song “Summertime”. I think she was the winner that season on American Idol!

[@InfiniteWonders39]

Classic and yes she won that season!!!🎉

[@ACIN05]

I wish I could like this a thousand times. This interview was just divine.

[@phyllisneither9097]

Jennifer I'm so proud of you. What an excellent interview. Enjoyed every minute

[@ChelebelleOT7]

The 1985 version of The Color Purple is one of my all time favorite movies. I was not even 10 years old the first time I saw it. I can literally find it on tv and no matter what part the movie was on, I would sit and watch. There are so many beautiful moments of strength, love, and perseverance in this movie. I look forward to seeing the new movie and know I will love it just as much! God is all over this group of amazing performers/artists. I teared up several times watching this video.

[@marthaturner-je8pi]

[@allyssahubbard3514]

I seen this Movie on New years Eve 2023!! Wowwww!! Amazing,Fabulous,Artistic,Phenomenal! See it and Get the EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME!! THEY DID THE DAMNED THING!!

[@berthawilliamston1980]

After committing to going to see the movie, the day after Christmas, I wasn't sure if I should. This is because I realized that when I had saw this movie years ago, it was a melancholic movie. I am an instructional paraprofessional, at Cincinnati Public schools. I was truly enjoying my winter break and I didn't want to engage in anything that would change the joy that I was experiencing. I decided to go ahead and go to the theater, anyway. This movie is AMAZING!

[@rmayo3987]

Phenomenal work of art - a lot of themes ❤

Inspirational uplifting musical. Cried when Nettie returns from Africa & when Celie & Suge share a kiss after movie. Also, when Mr's alive after storm in field. He can't be condoned for rape & brutality but he can he human after all. Is his redemption worthy of Miss Celie?

Great interview! Interesting to see this earlier interview after different layers of drama and revelation I’ve been hearing about since. I wasn’t sure, and still don’t know, how much is real or how much is folks trying to bring black folks down, which crossed my mind. But the movie was beautiful and well worth seeing, no matter what! It brought me to tears more than once! It made me smile, made me think, and it made me feel. Well done everyone! And again, great interview, Jennifer! I love all of the cross collaborations through the years with all of y’all! If you haven’t seen the movie yet go see it! 💖💜💜💜
