The Holdovers star Da’Vine Joy Randolph won the best supporting actress in a film award at the 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards on Saturday night and called the win the “greatest honor of my career.”
“Alexander Payne, thank you for your trust and your collaboration,” Randolph said on stage. “You are truly every actors’ dream. Paul Giamatti and Dominic Sessa, thank you for your generosity and honesty. Grief is a slippery emotion to capture and I thank you for creating an environment where I felt safe enough to explore the depths of Mary. How lucky are we that we get to do what we do? Truly, in what other profession are people able to live so many lives and touch so many hearts of those who have never they have never gotten to meet? I wake up every day overwhelmed with gratitude to be a working actor. To be awarded this by my fellow artists is the greatest honor of my career.”
She continued: “I also want to take a moment to say that every role that I have ever played has been crafted thanks to those who are nearest and dearest to me. Some of the most brilliant actors I know whose talents have yet to be properly acknowledged by the world. For every actor that is still waiting in the wings for their chance: Let me tell you, your life can change in a day. And it’s not a question of if, but when. Keep going.”
Randolph, who plays cafeteria manager and grieving mother Mary Lamb in the film, was nominated alongside Emily Blunt (Oppenheimer), Danielle Brooks (The Color Purple), Penelope Cruz (Ferrari) and Jodie Foster (Nyad).
Randolph has swept the awards circuit for her role in Payne’s film, having won a Golden Globe, a Critics Choice Award and a BAFTA Award, among others, and she is nominated for an Oscar in the best supporting actress category as well. The 2024 Academy Awards will take place this year on March 10.
