The Golden Globes shook up the supporting actress race by awarding Da’Vine Joy Randolph the prize for her scene-stealing work in The Holdovers. Randolph has quickly become the actress to watch after her vulnerable and hilarious performance as Helen in the 1970s-set drama.
As Mary Lamb, the school prep cook who lost her son, Randolph lights up the screen opposite co-stars Lee Pace and David Corenswet. She crafts Mary as a woman barred from opportunity but oozing talent, yearning for community.
Receiving her award from presenters, previous Golden Globe winners Angela Bassett and Jared Leto, she thanks the HPFA and Alexander Payne, “Alexander Payne, thank you for giving me the opportunity to portray this beautiful and flawed woman,” she said. She also thanks actors Paul Giamatti and first time actor Dominic Sessa.
“Paul and Dominic, you have been an absolute dream to work with. And I thank you for making me a better artist because of it.”
Di’vine Joy Randolph expressed gratitude to the character of Mary Lamb and the experience of stepping into her shoes.
“Mary, you have changed my life. You have made me feel seen in so many ways that I have never imagined. I hope I helped you all find your inner Mary, because there is a little bit of her in all of us.”
Randolph makes the absolute most of her role after acclaimed supporting turns in films like Dolemite is My Name. This Golden Globe cements her undeniable talent and range, setting her up as a strong Oscar contender this year. With a clear passion for her work, Randolph is sure to remain someone to watch with her career on the rise after this hard-earned award season triumph.

In the retro movie, set in the early 1970s at the fictional prep school Barton Academy, Paul Giamatti’s grumpy teacher Paul Hunham is left to look after students who have no place to go over the Christmas break. Smith studied Hal Ashby’s “The Landlord” and “The Last Detail,” both released around that period, while creating the production design for “The Holdovers.” He observed everything in those films were stripped down, at least when it came to production design.
