Just as Gold Derby predicted, Da’Vine Joy Randolph (“The Holdovers“) has prevailed at the 2024 Oscars in the category of Best Supporting Actress. Earlier this awards season, the 37-year-old performer claimed victory at the Golden Globes, Critics Choice, BAFTA and SAG Awards for her role as bereaved cafeteria worker Mary Lamb in Alexander Payne‘s comedy-drama film. This marks Randolph’s first career Oscars win on her first-ever nomination.
Randolph was the overwhelming favorite to triumph on Sunday, March 10 by all 29 of Gold Derby’s Oscar Experts from major media outlets: Andrea Mandell (People Magazine), Anne Thompson (Indiewire), Brian Truitt (USA Today), Christopher Rosen (Gold Derby), Claudia Puig (KPCC), Clayton Davis (Variety), Eric Deggans (NPR), Erik Davis (Fandango), Grae Drake (Moviefone), Jazz Tangcay (Variety), Joyce Eng (Gold Derby), Keith Simanton (IMDb), Kevin Polowy (CBR), Matt Neglia (Next Best Picture), Michael Musto (Queerty), Nikki Novak (Fandango), Perri Nemiroff (Collider), Pete Hammond (Deadline Hollywood), Peter Travers (ABC), Ray Richmond (Gold Derby), Sasha Stone (Awards Daily), Scott Mantz (KTLA-TV), Shawn Edwards (WDAF-TV Fox), Susan King (Gold Derby), Susan Wloszczyna (Gold Derby), Tariq Khan (Gold Derby), Thelma Adams (Gold Derby), Tom O’Neil (Gold Derby) and Wilson Morales (BlackFilmandTV).

The other four Academy Award nominees this year for Best Supporting Actress were Emily Blunt (“Oppenheimer”) as Kitty Oppenheimer, Danielle Brooks (“The Color Purple”) as Sofia, America Ferrera (“Barbie”) as Gloria, and Jodie Foster (“Nyad”) as Bonnie Stoll.
Randolph is now the 10th Black woman to win the Best Supporting Actress Oscar, following Hattie McDaniel (“Gone with the Wind”), Whoopi Goldberg (“Ghost”), Jennifer Hudson (“Dreamgirls”), Mo’Nique (“Precious”), Octavia Spencer (“The Help”), Lupita Nyong’o (“12 Years a Slave”), Viola Davis (“Fences”), Regina King (“If Beale Street Could Talk”) and Ariana DeBose (“West Side Story”). Meanwhile, Halle Berry (“Monster’s Ball”) remains the only Black woman to win Best Actress.
“The Holdovers” from Focus Features received five Oscar nominations this year: picture, actor (Paul Giamatti), supporting actress, original screenplay (David Hemingson) and film editing. The film tells the story of a gruff professor who has to watch over several students during the holidays at a boy’s boarding school in the 1970s.
