Da’Vine Joy Randolph wins best supporting actress Oscar for The Holdovers
Randolph triumphs for her role as a grieving mother in the Alexander Payne-directed film also starring Paul Giamatti
Da'Vine Joy Randolph has won the Oscar for best supporting actress for her role in The Holdovers at the Academy Awards in Los Angeles.
Randolph, who played the school's head cook Mary Lamb in the film, was the strong favourite for the award, having won nearly every best supporting actress prize in the run-up to the Oscars, including the Golden Globe, Bafta, Critics' Choice, Independent Spirit and Screen Actors Guild awards. In the end she saw off competition including Jodie Foster (for Nyad), Emily Blunt (for Oppenheimer) and Danielle Brooks (for The Color Purple).
