The UK’s leading film critics will present Colman Domingo with the first ever Derek Malcolm Award for Innovation at their upcoming awards ceremony.

Legendary critic and film historian Malcom died in August, aged 91. The award named in his honor will be part of the 44th London Critics’ Circle Awards that take place on February 4, 2024.

Domingo is being recognized for his work as an actor, producer, writer, director and musician in a career spanning film, television and theatre.

He won an Emmy for his role in Euphoria and received a Tony nom as a producer of Fat Ham, a retelling of Hamlet. In film, his recent credits include The Color Purple and Rustin and other work includes appearances in Barry Jenkins’ If Beale Street Could Talk, Lee Daniels’ The Butler and Ava DuVernay’s Selma.  “It’s an honor to receive the inaugural Derek Malcolm Award for Innovation and to be recognized in this way by the London Film Critics’ Circle, a group of journalists I deeply respect,” Domingo said. “This has been an incredible year for film, and having the opportunity to play Bayard Rustin, a man who embodied the word ‘trailblazer’, has been a great privilege.” Malcolm was a long-standing member of the Critics’ Circle, serving a term as its president.
