‘The Color Purple’ Cast: Friday, December 15, 2023 | The Jennifer Hudson Show

[@dinh5532]

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 !

[@lessonslearned5536]

I’ve very appreciative that the entire interview has been uploaded. I have been following and supporting all of these ladies. I can’t wait to see the movie this weekend

[@Bandon17]

You are going to enjoy it.

[@comegetthiscommentary]

I absolutely loved it! And can't wait to see it again. I especially loved the reimagined parts.

[@peachesandpoets]

Loved it so much. So happy for all of them. I'm overwhelmed with black joy ♥

[@keshacomesfirst8304]

Black Joy 🖤 YES! ​@@peachesandpoets

[@kaylachristyne7075]

[@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 🙂

They do

[@kaybee6183]

@@candyKane117i I mostly see a bunch of those 5 min clips. I just looked and I do see some of other full interviews. Guess I meant I wish they put the whole show on youtube, the whole hour. I can't catch it live and I would like to see the whole show to get the full experience

[@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!

[@tfptravel.food.peace.3788]

That was a nice touch!❤

[@valdraemiddleton853]

Wow! The way that you explained this was so beautiful🥰

[@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

[@djm2985]

Congratulations to The Color Purple on your success at the box office! Waiting for those awards to be given to my girl Fantasia and Danielle. God bless you

[@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.

[@thebrightqueen]

This movie brought me to TEARS more than once. Thank you to everyone involved ❤

[@tfptravel.food.peace.3788]

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

Fantasia talks with an annointed voice

[@nicolejames3054]

He's on Her🙏🏾💯

[@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. 🎉🎉

[@ms.007dolt8]

Amazing movie must see ❤❤❤❤

[@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.

[@angelamiller4876]

I absolutely LOVE this interview!!! It's so inspiring to see that through the fame and fortune, they continue to acknowledge and give GOD the praise🙌🏾

[@ACIN05]

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

[@theresathomas5721]

Jennifer you did an excellent job interviewing the cast. This was wonderful!

[@honeybunnz123]

Excellent interview, Jhud. Loved every minute of this. I love how you allowed the cast to shine, tell their stories, and you were still able to subtly allude to your own involvement in the Broadway play without overshadowing the moment. Bravo for this interview.

[@daniellewoods-jackson5982]

These actors were absolutely brilliant!! JHudson did a phenomenal interview with the cast!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@whitneyawanayah5318]

Oprah Winfrey looks incredible at 69 yrs young. Absolutely gorgeous along with the other cast members

in my opinion this is the best interview in all two seasons of the show:) thankyou to jennifer hudson and the guests

[@gg3691]

One thing I love is how these sister praise each other. Regardless if Tasia is in the spotlight or not, they are happy and present for each other. No jealousy, no envious, just loving one other. Sisters, we must hold each other up like this!!!

[@Jazzgrl007]

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! 💖💜💜💜

[@rondapierce6215]

Celebrating our sister's and all God has done and is doing in their lives! Congratulations to each and everyone of you JHud included! Thank you Oprah for given us the opportunity to celebrate the Color Purple

[@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!

[@lillianwilliams5510]

This brings tears to my eyes.

[@damnright1766]

I usually don't sit through an entire cast of interviews, but this was amazing. Had me quiet. Laughing. Learning. Proud.

[@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!!!🎉

[@IAmOfficiallyLeland]

Everyone, including people involved with the original song said that was the best performance they had ever seen. It was so popular that they actually had her record it on her first album.

[@ellaluke4028]

Best interview of the Color Purple cast

23:49 - love how he sang a snippet of Bay Area's own Renée Winston's song "Only God Can Do It"

[@jayr3053]

Thank you for the whole interview! 😊

[@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.

[@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.

[@pm3472]

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?

I also wanted to say, this movie really showcases people’s ability. Danielle Brooks! Girl! I watched you go from Taystee to Sophia! I am LIVING for YOU! Girl! Yassss! 👏👏👏👏 To Taraji…You flex so hard in everything you do, and you showed the muscle with this role! I always get excited seeing your name in a trailer! You just command every stage your on! I’m living for you too! And my Boo Fantasia! ❤ Special Hearts for you girl you got that voice from God! And I was so impressed with your work in this movie. Absolutely phenomenal! 😮😢 like you had me laughing crying, just you were so connected to this role, yeah I’m sure the time on broadway helped but I’ve seen both and I still think you pushed yourself further into it with the movie. All of you were so great together! I’ve seen the movie 5 times so far and I can’t stop watching all your interviews, and I’m just so happy for you all! I feel like I know what this movie means to our country and the world, and I am so happy to be alive and see you goddesses being gloryful! I probably didn’t make up that word but I’m using it!
