In this week’s episode of The Envelope, Emmy nominee Colman Domingo discusses modeling his #Euphoria character Ali after someone dear to his heart.

Listen to the podcast: link.chtbl.com/zGp8di28
Domingo says he shed a tear watching the nominations live: “I felt like there was so much that had so many people rallying for me... I didn’t want to let them down, in a way. That’s a strange thing to say, but I guess that’s what happened.” link.chtbl.com/zGp8di28
"I didn’t think there was a place for me for a long time because of the roles that were presented," says the #Euphoria star. "I just thought that I wasn’t going to be challenged in the television space until television started changing."

"I didn’t know that it would take off the way it has," Domingo says of #Euphoria. "I didn’t know that at all. But I just had a lot of trust and faith in Sam [Levinson] and what he was creating not only for me, but for my peers." link.chtbl.com/zGp8di28

L.A. County sheriff’s deputies were caught sharing graphic photos of the helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant, his daughter and seven others.

Since then, nearly all of the deputies involved in the scandal have gotten new phones. latimes.com/california/sto…
The failure to preserve the electronic evidence to ensure the photos didn’t spread beyond those employees will be a key component in Vanessa Bryant’s federal civil trial against L.A. County, which is scheduled to start Wednesday. latimes.com/california/sto…
The trial marks the culmination of a two-year legal fight over one of the most highly publicized scandals within the Sheriff’s Department. latimes.com/california/sto…
