- "Selma" recounts the story of Martin Luther King Jr.'s historic voting rights march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. Oprah Winfrey and David Oyelowo join "CBS This Morning" to discuss the highly anticipated film.
The way Oprah and David exchanged that 'secret' look when his name was mispronounced at the beginning of the interview. 😂😂💕
As a Briton, im proud David Oyelowo is playing such an important historical figure
A fine actor indeed!
Selma is one of the best films I have ever seen.
I felt like I was a young black man experiencing the struggle for dignity in rural Alabama.
I've never been outside Africa.
Great story of great people played by great people.
as a white person who was deeply involved in the civil rights movement along side my best friend who was black, every time i hear blacks refer to themselves as 'n ' my skin crawls i wonder why they don't understand how we feel when we hear that world? so many friends died fighting to rid the world of that word, my heart cries every time i hear them use it at each other as if it were ' cool '- it is NOT cool
As a white person involved with the civil rights movement patting yourself on the back, you don't get a vote.
White people have no say in how blacks choose to address to one another. If we feel as though we are dismantling a word through it's use, in the same way that gay people have used the word "queer" that is our right. White people need to fall all the way back
They're brainwashed with stupidity. I still love my American brothers and sisters though.
Did I mention Thomas Rogers smells funny?! Someone's been on the pooper waaaaaaaaay too long, and he's probably gayer than me ;-) Save Humanity. Educate yourself, so you can love yourself. Peace Out.
I guess us black people see it as taking the word back and also self-deprecating.
Just watched that movie. It is a master piece. Great job David, Oprah and the rest of the cast
Thank you all soooooo MUCH for the making of this MOVIE...... ITS PROPHECY AT A PROPHETIC TIME!!!
Wow, this guy is humble. Good to see him in his nigeria self, love it.
That statement David made...so profound: when GOD says "you're going to do this" you have to prepare!
It took him seven years to be ready for it wwwwoooooowwwwwww
May we be willing to do the instant we hear GOD tells us what HE desires for us to do amen.
It really is amazing when you think about it, it's like things coming full circle. A Black British (Nigerian) actor playing a Black American icon. Awesome!
This film was stunning. I'm so glad these people committed to this!!
Where can i find this film i need to se it. I coudt found it it in neet Flix
If David Oyelowo does not win an Oscar for his movie role in SELMA i will think something is wrong with the Academy awards. love from Nigeria.
Great to see Oprah Winfrey and David Oyelowo working together to put this best inspiration movie together 💖
The way in which one of the most influential women in the world, humbly turned to a relatively new actor speaks VOLUMES of Oprah's genuine character.
And, the way he in turn responds with such grace and reverence for someone who he knows was instrumental in paving the way is so spiritually balanced. I hope people get this underlying message. I really do.
hey boy......u are really an actor... u used that nigerian accent to express your dad's opinion about acting in this interview.....kudos.
Awww Oprah is so motherly towards him :)
I love this. It was so up lifting. Its been such a short time since Jim Crow and the Civil Rights movement for our nation. The fact that Oprah gives back so much to ensure that our history is not forgotten speaks volumes for her character. People may not understand, but this is a necessary part of culture. Retelling the stories that make us who we are so that we don't repeat the mistakes of our past or make new ones that can be avoided. I wish that people were happier so that they wouldn't be so angry at people that don't even know them. It is what it is. Positive people will keep doing positive things and negative people will continue to poison their own minds and hearts.
This is an extraordinary film. Oyelowo is literally perfect as MLK. It's a must see film.
Am proud of you David and Oprah
This movie was so amazing. It should be required viewing for every American citizen (especially ignorant racists). Happy New Year =)
Excellent interview .... awesome movie!
Wow such a powerful interview about a powerful film!!!! #Selma
If people don't know what Selma is about, our teachers in this country are certainly not doing job teaching history.
He is sooo cute. Handsome Black Brit!
lmao Gayle got no chill lmao throwing O under the bus like that XDDD
Thank you David Oyelowo, and Opera...
Oprah
damn, Daniel Day Lewis playing Lincoln
and now David Oyelowo playing MLK.
UK is looking good for actors at this time, especially in more favoured American Actor roles.
Sly Impact not forgetting Idris Elba and Daniel Craigg :)
lexaneli Indeed.
And looking back at my comment, I made the "damn Daniel" thing first.
I shall go to war over the foundership.
Great movie and actors. Thanx.
David Oyelowo mmmm!! Such a handsome man oh my lord!
Great timing again...
Loved this movie!
Thank u Bra David 🇧🇼🇳🇬🇬🇧
Awesome video!
Oprah she's a mom,and she's lovely
I really wish the Oscars were all about the performance and not the political campaign.
Unfortunately, you have Birdman and Boyhood, two films with no bequest to its name, and Selma, a film that is evocative, relevant, and exhibitive on such serious matters that brings light to what's happening now and what happened back then.
Are you not contradicting yourself a bit? The fact that Boyhood and Birdman do not have social implications does not speak to the performances or quality of the films. They would be just as Oscar worthy as Selma. There are a lot of very strong performances and films this year.
fong03 Selma was higher rated than both Birdman and Boyhood, first of all. Second of all, every single "black film" that got oscar nominations either had a white savior or black characters in stereotypical roles. This film has neither of those things and it gets brutally snubbed over a film about a white racist who slaughters Muslims overseas. The academy and American society are racist as shit. Period. Point blank. If you deny it, you are part of the problem.
Mouhamadou Diagne You want to turn this into a political campaign, when it should not be. Also, your facts are all wrong. Selma WAS nominated, so your entire argument falls flat on its face. If you want to argue that Ava Duverney should have been nominated, I won't disagree with you. Also, I don't know where you are getting your facts, but Selma was certainly not "rated" higher than Boyhood or even Birdman. A simple visit to metacritic.com could have told you that. And you make it sound as if Selma is not receiving the praise it deserves. It has certainly been well received and well reviewed.
The point I made (and that you only confirmed with your response) was that on the one hand you claim that the Oscars should be based solely on performance and not politics, and then in the same breath you make arguments that have everything to do with politics.
Instead of screaming about how racist the Academy is (note, I did not disagree with this, though you are being hyperbolic) why don't you try actually critiquing the films and explain why Selma is a better film than Boyhood.
fong03 I am not MAKING this into a political issue. The mere process of rating a work of ART is INHERENTLY POLITICAL. Why? Because rating a film is SUBJECTIVE and automatically appeals to the personal tastes, experiences, and biases of the people doing the rating. Getting nominated for Best picture is nice, but it got robbed of being nominated for numerous MAJOR oscar categories, like best actor, best director, best cinematography, and best original screenplay. This article by an oscar voter should address what you are looking for: www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/01/22/an-oscar-voter-tells-all-american-sniper-sucks-and-selma-was-robbed.html.
You are. Of course the Oscars is political in the sense that marketing, smoozing and the like all effect the voters. (Selma not getting its copies out to voters earlier obviously had an effect as well.) My reference to you making this political referred to the social context because you immediately make this an issue about race and absolutely fail to acknowledge that some of these other films are very deserving.
The link you provided summed up what I already knew and believed. Your Oscar voter only singled out Duvarney as a true snub and on that I agree. The best actor category was going to be close from the beginning given the number of great performances this year. I would have given the nod to Selma over American Sniper in that category, but it does not warrant the tirade that you produced.
The original post signaled out Boyhood and Birdman as examples of how politics and not performances would garner them more praise. That was a wholly unjustified comment because both of those films are amazing - as is Selma. Those films might not resonate or speak to you on the same level, but that doesn't mean they are undeserving of the awards that are likely to come.
A miniseries about the civil rights movement. That's brilliant.
So glad this movie has been made! LOL @ David Oyelowo's father, so typical of all migrant parents, mine included!
Gayle: Today if you peacefully protest you will not lose your life.
Today hundreds of peaceful protesters are injured and sometimes later dying from the injuries.
Who else is still watching in 2020.
I literally just watched the movie today and then came here but yea, when I heard Gayle say that....We never would've thought...
Shame on Golden Globes for not giving David Oyelowo one;(
Beautiful our history
The best of the bests
ths movie is available in amazone prime or hotstar, as i am very eager to see this movie..Tribute to Dr King. Regards Rajiv Nair Mumbai city India
Oprah has incredible hair!!!
WELL! Sometimes I just want to despair when I read all of the racist, hate comments here on You Tube. Why? Let it just STOP. We are all human beings, good and bad of all colours and creed. We are just PEOPLE. Stop the hate.
well if its that good then i guess i will see selma especaly scince im going on a feild trip soon
back at the same place... maybe this time we will pay attention?!?
Do the miniseries on OWN Oprah. However, DONT YOU DARE choose Tyler Perry to direct, or produce.
Oprah literally plays the EXACT same role every movie she is in. She has no versatility
When you that rich would you care?
peter douglas What does being rich have to do with anything. She considerers herself an actress and that is considered art. and our only point is that EVERY movie she plays in, its the EXACT same character. She's rich yes, but that has nothing to do with the point that was being made here.
***** I agree lol
Her role in the Butler was very different. The fact that she produces/provides resources for these movies to occur and nurtures the actors and directors of these movies and still gets asked to play roles in the movies, speaks to her greatness in many capacities. She is not a paid actor. She is placed in the movies bc no one else could possibly embody the heart of the roles she plays. It is an honor bestowed on her for who she is and what she contributes to these projects and she's just good enough to deliver and then some.
If you can't say something nice..................................
Is that Rihanna in the movie?
Is Oprah chewing something??
dam they chose British ppl for everything idk what make them so great
Maybe because we have great actors :)
Great acting skill, simple.
Just love their voice
history is just history. What happened in the past cannot be changed... what we can do is learn from it. Let's all not be quick to judge ourselves on the basis of our race. None of us had the power to choose their birth right lets embrace each other and stop being harsh. You talk about racism here but there are so many things that delineate us. Race is just one... what about religion, tribes, dialects...if we all focused on this aspects... what kind of a world will it be? Selma addresses voting rights act but in my own opinion its not centered on this notion alone. Selma can be any one; battered women, LGBT groups, HIV victims, Children, e.t.c. Let's not be ignorant we all ought to embrace civility and realize its impacts in our day-to-day lives
o yellow wo?! My god, talk about butchering a name.
How hard is it to say?? Oye- lo-wo!!!
***** That is actually how it's pronounced.
hehehe. yeah I laughed sooo hard
Uncomfortable, but salient truths regarding the potential for economic equality.
www.jbhe.com/features/49_college_admissions-test.html
But there is a major flaw in the thesis that income differences explain the racial gap. Consider these three observable facts from The College Board's 2005 data on the SAT:
• Whites from families with incomes of less than $10,000 had a mean SAT score of 993. This is 129 points higher than the national mean for all blacks.
• Whites from families with incomes below $10,000 had a mean SAT test score that was 61 points higher than blacks whose families had incomes of between $80,000 and $100,000.
• Blacks from families with incomes of more than $100,000 had a
mean SAT score that was 85 points below the mean score for
whites from all income levels, 139 points below the mean score
of whites from families at the same income level, and 10 points
below the average score of white students from families whose
income was less than $10,000.

Europeans - 8 twins per 1,000 births, average age when first walking ~12 months
Africans - 16 twins per 1,000 births, average age when first walking ~11 months
the same pattern rears its head in the way of gestation periods, age of crawling, onset of puberty, testosterone levels, bone density, and brain size.

What's a black supremacist gotta do to get a purse around here.
Oprah barely got any dialogue lol
so many haters out there, wow
helloooooooooooooo
David is MLK
Nigerians famzing he's British has he claimed
but has Britain claimed him? That is the question.
Ah, who this harpo win-fry?
Lady boys lol
MLK is British, and Lincoln (Daniel Day) is Irish. Good job America, all our actors suck.
I'm confused if you hate American actors or you hate non American actors in American movies
CausticSniper55 I'm complimenting the British/Irish actors. They do a better job of portraying Americans than Americans. I think theater is taken a bit more seriously over there.
Oh lol, I agree
CausticSniper55 DDL is the god. I don't really think Oyelowo did too great a job as MLK though, that whole movie seemed technically good but uninteresting, along with the obvious historical misrepresentations like LBJ or MLK cheating on his wife.
1337Pwn4g3 The role should have been played by an African American PERIOD!
This film is a BIG farce, Like that Black woman orangatang hair do at the start xD
Oprah and the director messed up the film.
Worried about saying the n word that is such a gross horrible word, but laughs at fathers homophobia and says lady boys. Still have a long way to go. Very sad.
Opera, you need to straighten your hair. It looks like a wet brillo pad.
Hmm....
Its her personal hair
Hmm, here are a few interesting things that nobody will ever call out. First, in the Selma courthouse scene the officer hits the old man and his son tries to help the old man sit down and the officer gets in the son's face and when the son gets in the officer's face the officer hits the son but when Oprah knocks the officer on the back of the head he doesn't hit her, he just stands there a few seconds and then after that he has two officers pin her down on the ground 🤣🤣🤣. How are you going to be racist and politically correct at the same time? 🤣🤣🤣 If you're going to hit the old man and the son then hit the lady. Second, the old man was standing up but he was trying to sit down but the officer was still mad and still in the old man's face but the old man's daughter told the old man to sit down and when the son of the old man tried to sit the old man down and he hit the old man the son got in the officer's face and the old man's daughter told the old man's son to sit down, but the neither the daughter nor anyone else told Oprah to sit down when she knocked the officer on the head 🤣🤣🤣. Typical. When a woman fights back she's a hero but when a man fights back he's "wrong" or he's an "idiot" or he's "antagonizing" or he's being "provocative" and I'm TIRED OF IT!!!!!
very poorly done movie .i would of liked it better if arnold schwarzenegger was in it.
