The Big Picture Da'Vine Joy Randolph has fulfilled expectations by taking home a thoroughly deserved first Academy Award for her heartbreaking role in Alexander Payne's The Holdovers. In the film, Randolph plays the lunch lady, Mary Lamb, grief-stricken after the tragic death of her son in Vietnam.
Randolph's performance has been universally acclaimed, and, including the Academy Award, this marks her 39th award given for her role in The Holdovers, including other big-hitting awards including the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the BAFTAs, the Golden Globes, the National Board of Review, the Independent Spirit Awards, and the Critics Choice Awards.
Well, to be completely transparent with you, when Alexander called me, it's been two years, but I don't believe I had the script first, and I actually didn't know who Alexander Payne was when he reached out. But when I did get the script, I don't think I even knew that Paul was connected. For me, the biggest thing was it was a woman who got to be real and authentic and in her feelings unapologetically.
