Them all standing up applauding Whoopi Goldberg 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Someone's cutting onions up in here.
I wish it had gone on for 10 mins ❤
pppp
As they should. Not only is she the Ultimate Queen Bee lol but her fingerprints are all over all the culture we see today and beyond.
That was fire. Whoopi is so awesome.
Whoppi so deserved the Oscar for The Color Purple. She was incredible in that role.
they got robbed for sure
As people watch it all over the world, Whoopie will be in the mind through each scene played by Fantasia. This 2nd time around will be a win for her too!
Its forever Whoopi & Oprah nevertheless well done!
@@sissmallintentionalsteps4179 I agree wholeheartedly ☮️
It was the tenor of the times. I do believe that some change has occurred.
Whoopi not winning an Oscar for her rendition of Cellie is a crime.
What about Danny Glover for not being nominated ?
Yes true story.
One of the biggest slights in Oscar’s history
@@robertmiller5516 Both _The Color Purple_ and _Out of Africa_ had eleven Academy Award nominations that year. _Out of Africa_ won seven. _The Color Purple_ went away empty handed. Geraldine Page won the Best Actress Academy Award for _The Trip to Bountiful_ . She had seven Academy Award nominations previously in her career. Whoopi won the Golden Globe Award however.
They gave her the win for Ghost as a consolation. The Academy is weird.
The standing ovation gave me goosebumps. Whoopi assisted in paving the way and may it never be forgotten!
Boo-hooded when they stood up because I understood the significance. Black women are simply INCREDIBLE!
Facts!
Fantabulous
Teraji is an actress who is capable of playing any role given her. She knows how to really get in character.
Yess!! She is incredible
Facts
Most definitely! She’s one of my favorites!🥰🥰🥰
She needs to STOP channeling spirts to use her body as a vessel, that’s demonic. Celebrities are dark, don’t ignore it as just “acting” it’s demonic.
1 John 5:19
2 Corinthians 4:4
I don't think Whoopi understands how she gave LIFE to Miss Celie ❤
She will Never ever understand!
When I tell you I've been waiting for them to come on this show. For Fantasia to meet Whoopi... is a moment.
Tasia was a guest host a while back
This is not their first time being in each other's presence.
I’ve been waiting too
The disappointing part was Oprah wasn't on the show. What does it say to the casts of the show?
@@deedeetaylor124 Chile🙄 we wasn't even thinking about her frfr. Every interview is different I love her but she doesn't have to be in everything LET THESE PPL SHINE🌟🙌🏿
The Color Purple by Alice Walker is one of my favorite novels. The movie is one of the few times I wasn't disappointed by a movie rendition of a book. Whoppi should have won the Oscar for portraying Celie, period!
Period!
She was robbed!!! The movie was robbed, but she gave a master class in acting and you could never tell it was her first role.
Not only was Whoopi robbed but the whole movie was robbed, it should have had Best Movie, Best Actress & Actor, Best Supporting Actress & Actor as well as Best Director for Steven Spielberg
Same, however the movie was significantly different from the book. Character dynamics, backgrounds, etc. For example: after Celie left Mister, he'd still come to visit her at her home house on the porch and they'd wait for signs of Surge Avery coming back into town. He actually showed interests of wanting to sleep with Celie again when Surge Avery wasn't going to show back up into town anytime soon. Of course Celie shut that idea that and made it clear that anything they to do with each other in the future was STRICKLY PLATONIC! Another thing in the book it was revealed that Surge Avery had several children that she'd abandoned and left for her mother to raise! She was especially a pariah to her mother and father! The marriage between her and the happy go lucky man she'd married later on in the stories DIDNT LAST LONG AT AT. Celies's sister ended up in romantic relationship with the pastor she followed and travel to Africa after the pastor's wife had succumb to illness and dies in the story. The sister eventually marries the Pastor as well in the book! That doesn't happen in the 80's film.

Whoopi Goldberg is a inspirational to all of them 👏🏾
I was thinking The color purple paved the way for her to get where she is now.
And me too ❤
Whoopi G is one of the greatest gifts to acting humanity has ever been given. Some people don’t understand how DEEP the roots and connection of the color purple go. If you have never been black and poor and from the US south there are hardly the words to express that experience in the 30s/40s. It's almost like trying to explain a descent in madness. And Whoopi captured that perfectly with her acting.
Yes!
😭you funny
RE-QUOTE: Two books recommended by Alice Walker to read: 'The Half Has Never Been Told' by Edward E. Baptist and 'The Slave Ship' by Marcus Rediker. If you have an earnest desire to have an authentic understanding of American history and the events that shaped it these two books are keystones.
Fantasia auditioned for dream girls but didnt get it because this role was meant for her. It just took time now this is her moment 🙌🏾👏🏾. Yes Fantasia shine bright ❤
Chills reading this!
Totally Agree ❤️❤️
Amen!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
YES
Amen
Thanks Fantasia for giving Ceily her flowers because people always called me her in a negative way and I as a teenager found the beauty, strength and richness in her.
People didn’t call me Celia. Eye called me Celia. And it wasn’t in a good way
I wasn't called ceile...but I surely was treated like her. But oh they don't know how strong celie is..how beautiful she is..how amazing she is.
When i was younger, people used to say I looked like celie from the color purple. I take it as a compliment now 😊
Amen Sis! I LOVE CELIE, FANTASIA, and WHOOPI
We are not looking to the Oscar’s to validate us. These women got the media in a chokehold &’the movie hasn’t even come out yet!!! They WON!!🏆
They're only promoting the movie because the movie promotes lgbtq for black folks and especially for black women.
Beautiful. Fantasia my girl. Taraji my girl. We need to see some awards behind this.
You do know Taraji SUPPORTS Jussie "fake hate crimer and racist" Smollett....I don't have any time for racist like them
Yep and we need to see them kissing at the shows😍🔥 just like they did terrence and jamie🤢🙄
Fantasia & Danielle were just nominated for a Golden globe. Next is the Oscars. Hopefully.
We need to see more sisterhood behind this..:)
I Love how they always choose Whoopi, Sara, and Sunny when it comes to these types or segment
Sara seems like she's nice in real life
What? black? Do you not realize the undertoned racism of your comment. Who cares who the interviewer is but if it ain't whoop I ain't watching
@@truthteller313oh she's most definitely the nicest and always tells the truth💯 I love her
Sarah is culturally intelligent! The ethnicity of whoever she's interviewing doesn't matter because she always ssys the right thing! Sarah literally made Tyler Perry cry last month
@@MannysMillennialMouth PERIOD
Taraji J Penson is an incredible actor
Taraji was a horrible sister behind the scene.
@@tourehbrown3078To Who?😂
And Singer🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@tourehbrown3078lies
@@JahTheProphet-x37 right 😂
The standing ovation is much deserved, she did that part so much justice
Whoopi should’ve won the Oscar
Whoopi let them give you your flowers. You AND Oprah were cheated out of your awards(the entire cast really) for the 1985 portrayal. Its been 20 years since I first watched this movie as a kid and it still holds dear to me.
You are so right about Whoopi she is the star of Color Purple and she deserves an Oscar for it
I have watched The Color Purple many time and it always makes me cry. Whoopi was wonderful and should have won an academy award.
I got it on DVD! I feel the same way. It's my go to movie when I need a good cry.
Yes
The book is better
So happy that Whoopi has blessed this project and is supportive of a new interpretation. I hadn't heard anything from her until today, so I was little worried.
I was concerned as well!
She deserves her flowers and more. This is going to be amazing.
She actually appears in the movie
@@valr1260 thanks for spoiling it. ugh
@@seanscommentary you’re welcome
@@valr1260 such a mean-spirited thing to do. obviously people are excited to see the movie, there's no reason to spoil it for people.
This clip was powerful. The recognition and support given to one another by one another is what is needed in our communities and our world. Again, Whoopi is that foundational strength that stands quietly in the wings. ❤❤❤ her.
I totally agree👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Very well said.
Facts
First of all, give Madame Whoopi all of her flowers!!! Highly recommend folks to watch the original film before going to see this adaptation. Also, the talk about the spiritual nature of this work is so very true. Alice Walker's book is one you have to throw across the room as you cry and then go pick it back up. I am so glad that these actors/director recognized the power of this story and approached it with the deep care.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE they have our Whoopi her props!!! EGOT and ALL she is a TALENTED Lady! 🌹
WHOOPI WAS THE BLUEPRINT!!!!! SHE WAS PHENOMENAL!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Whoppi deserves the standing ovation. She brought light to the movie
She really layed the foundation for the new movie
Without question Whoopi is the gold standard of this film. To see her transform this character from a wide eyed naive child to an abused young woman to a stately, mature, empowered, phenomenal mother dear elder, was mesmerizing!!!
She literally imprinted the image of Celie into the collective consciousness of the movie viewing public. No disrespect to Fantasia, but Whoopi IS and WILL always be Ms.Celie.
Whoopi gets so embarrassed it’s cute lol
The original is a classic!! I cannot wait to see this musical version.
To the haters out there, this is NOT a remake of the original. This is an adaptation of the Broadway musical. Go outside and get cultured.
Exactly 💯
Yes I am so so happy to see this adaptation will be in the movie theater,because it will make more affordable for people who cannot pay Broadway ticket prices
@@michellelaguerre8760it is a equivalent
Tell ‘em!!
👏🏾
Whoopi really did justice to that movie 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Y’all I feel so crazy! I made the connection again to Whoopi and color purple when they showed her picture in the movie… Much respect to Whoopi!!🌹
Beautiful queens. People better go see this movie. The promotion has been top notch with the Oprah machine. Can't wait to see it!
🗣🗣🗣🗣
if they choose too.
Oprah has been promoting this brand for the past 20 years since it first hit Broadway. It's so refreshing to see another adaptation cast be with Whoopi Goldberg who played the protagonist.
I followed the press tour for this particular interview 💜
Love how they gave whooppi her well deserved flowers right then. She more than deserves it on this.
So proud they all gave Whoopi her well deserved flowers👏🏽ty Blitz for reminding everyone at this table who made Color Purple in ‘85 that movie for us
It’s crazy because Fantasia already played one of the first celie’s on Broadway but now it’s for the big screen glow up so so much deserved!
So excited to see Fantasia on the big screen! 💜💜💜
I'm emotional right now. Well done ladies and well DONE Whoopi for finally being given that standing ovation you so beautifully deserved❤
Well said Samantha! I agree 100%..
This segment was everything 💜💜💜💜
Having been in a stage production of this show I can 100% testify to how spiritual and sacred this text/show/art is. It is exacting of you. And it is so worth it. Kudos to the cast and crew!
I Love the way Fantasia talk
The original Color Purple is so meaningful. I first saw it as a little girl and didn't understand everything but I cried a lot. And as I got older I kept learning and learning just about life from this movie! 🌟
The one thing i love about the interviews is they're always color coordinated looking FINE fresh and dapper😍😍😍😍😍😍 and they always brag on each other I LOVE IT
Yes the love is so real!!!!!
@@vgreen1106 yep especially between T&F😉
I love Whoopi forever and always..this woman is a power house that I will forever grateful for. There is one about Whoopi, she will bring joy to others and inspires others. Some people didn’t know how important she was but I’ve always know how Important she was, is, and always will be. She is alway uplift others to be greater than what she was. That’s her gift
Kelly, Fantasia, and Jennifer… so proud of these American Idol alumnae following and crushing their dreams!
Amen!!!!
Beautiful Segment and so very Poignant with Whoopi helming and getting well deserved kudos from audience and cast 🎉❤🎉
Now this is the one I've been waiting on🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿. Whoopi and Tasia are the epitome of real sisterhood and lifting each other up this is what you call a full circle moment right here👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🥰💝🥰💝🥰💗💓💞💕💞💕💞
I'm so happy they didn't do this on a Friday so they can be there with whoop🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿. That was my biggest fear
Yes, Whoppi played that role.. Definitely 👍 💯..Here’s your flowers 💐
So happy to see Whoopi and Fantasia together. Also, I am so happy for Danielle Brooks as I am a huge fan of hers from 'Peacekeeper.'
I can't imagine anyone else playing Celie than Whoopi. I had read "The Color Purple" before seeing the original movie, and was amazed at how perfectly Whoopi portrayed the character I had had in my mind while reading the book. Whoopi *was* Celie!
I'm an almost 40yr old white woman, and I always remember, as a little girl-far too young (maybe 6/7) watching the Color Purple and it being one of my favourite films. I obviously didn't understand the material, but the imagery and music and the strength in this film- that I could feel as a little girl - kept me asking my mom to watch it again. I used to say 'the movie with the bloody hand print and Whoopie" (who is and was one the best actors ever in my opinion) (the imagery of that hand print stuck with me.) As a grown up- it remains of of my all time favourite films, and one of the best novels written. I usually hate when people do remakes- but I am so excited to see this new telling of it. I am sure it will do the source material justice.
The very idea that the magnificent Taraji could be intimidated by the thought of being on stage next to *anyone* is so funny to me! It just goes to show how amazing Fantasia is, and how her peers have always known it. Danielle is a multi-talented force of nature. And H.E.R....oh my word, there are no adequate words for how much I'm looking forward to seeing this film, just for those brilliant women!
I’m so proud of Fantasia. I’m happy to brag that I consistently voted for her on American Idol 😊
We raised her, since the Proud Mary audition, her second choice...
😊
Taraji P. Henson always a joy when she come to the view
The original Color Purple to this day is among my top three movies ever! I can’t wait to see. The remake! I hope it does justice to the original! I adore the cast!
First is a Color Purple, next is Far and Away, third is The Help. Maybe I was a black woman in a past life?!
Dang Fantasia & Taraji said no back then ? I love that they said yes now they are great, beautiful, strong women who deserve this time to shine ! They are winning
What a wonderful talented group of women .Bravo to all of you!
I saw Fantasia on B’way in 2007. My first B’way show in NYC. She was absolutely fantastic!
I'm crying. The book and original film mean so much to me, as well as these four ladies. I've been waiting on this Broadway rendition to come to film❤.
I originally started with the movie. Which I watch at least twice a week. I then read the book which is totally amazing. Then I got to see it on stage which blew my mind. Now, I'm so excited to see this new movie. What an amazing cast. I love the music so much. Whoopi made the role of Celia to be so relatable. She deserved the Oscar.
I have been a Whoopie fan for a long time my first movie of hers I ever saw was sister act. And the 2nd was The Color Purple. Cheers to Whoopie
What about Ghost?
I have chills watching clips!!!! I love this entire cast of people so much’ I’m extremely excited for Fantasia & Taraji’ I’m crying ‘ they deserved ‘ and Danielle also. My lord… 🥹 so deserving, so impeccable.
Yess I literally have goosebumps and tearing up! This is beautiful! Can’t wait to watch it.
I watched the original movie The Color Purple just last night..and I'm telling you..I just love it so much!...Whoopi, Oprah, and Danny Glover are amazingly brilliant.. and yes Margaret Avery, as Shug and let's not forget Akosua Busia as Nettie, they were dynamite. I'm planning on seeing the new version, but seeing the original unedited and uncut, just brings back so many memories!
Whoopie you are The Color Purple it wouldnt be as iconic if it wasn't for you! 📍🐐 Im soo glad they gave you your flowers it's well deserved! "Until you do right by me,everything you do gone crumble"-Whoopie ill always remember that 💪✔
Watching my girl from High Point, NC at this HIGH POINT is just bringing me to tears. She said that’s her last whooping, this time she’s in control!! ❤🙌🏾 Glory!!!! #336
It is sacred ground. Those are the words I was looking for. Thank you. Sacred ground. It is ineffable, and in every moment it holds you. There is a way through. It finds you.
Just say the words The Color Purple and I start crying; cried through the whole segment!!!! It's one of my favorite movies of all time!!!!!! Love it - and Whoopi - so much!!!! I'm glad they keep recreating it for generations to come. ❤
Same same same!!!
Whoppi's acting in the original was awesome. She should have been nominated but Steven S made it all possible and of course the book was amazing
This cast is 🤌🏾😘👋🏾 Thank you Whoopi for the path you set ablaze for these beautiful talented women 🌹 💐
TARAJI! You are a phenomenal, phenomenal Artist! Your craft gives me chills. You are uniquely gifted to act. Your craft goes beyond roles. It transforms them. I love to watch your movies because I love to watch your creation. Fantasia love you! An incredible talent you are. Congrats on the nomination. To all the actresses and artists of this film, I'm sure your talents shine bright. I can't wait to see it!
Wishing all these actors great successes now and forever 👏❤
Whoopi is a legend and I love so much that they gave her flowers 🌹 I wish she gets recognised more for her incredible acting in the Colour Purple and so much more!
Awesome….. can’t wait to see this movie. Whoopi deserves it all, flowers 💐, accolades and praises.
I love when black women get together and how they talk...they have their own communication ♥
The Color Purple has been my all time favorite!!!!!💜💜💜
What an honor, to be honored for being a leader on a path of greatness. I've seen a short clip of the movie and I'm already 😢, so I may as well pack my pocket w/tissues when I go to see it.💜💜💜
The original movie was incredible and the play was outstanding, plus a picture of Fantasha.I can't wait for this movie. It going to be fantastic. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
It's great to hear of a cast that got along rather than there being underlying tension.
Fantasia is going to end up becoming a big movie star!
Whoppi did that role justice too! I watched it with my mum around 2005 and it was a wonderful and eye opening! I will never forget
Love the original and this one looks great. 💜
Thank you Mr. Blitz for acknowledging Ms. WHOOPI!!!! She deserves her props. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I am so proud to grow up with the Original Movie The Color Purple. Seeing this very Special Project vibrant. I am so excited to see this musical version of The Color Purple on the Silver Screen. Seeing Whoopi & Fantasia next to each other while holding the Character and Spirit of Celie in their Hearts is so Beautiful. Bravo to everyone who put their Authenitc Energy into bringing this incredible novel to life. Alice Walker must be twinkling amongst the Stars so proudly 💗
They casted this adaptation VERY WELL!!!
Thank you for giving Whoopi her flowers.
Whoopi thank you for one of our favorite movies of all time 💐 🎉
