Speaking on his nomination, David spoke on his working relationship with Oprah and the movie 'Selma'.
"Working with Oprah truly felt like a family affair. She wanted to be Dr. King when she was younger, and to have someone like that around you whilst your playing Dr. King and to be there for Ava, I think she really sees a lot of herself in Ava."
She called me up one day when we were shooting and just said 'David it's time to go to bed. You need to go to bed. You're playing Dr. King - go to bed.' And I went to bed!"
