Actress Da'Vine Joy Randolph clinched the esteemed title of Best Supporting Actress at the ongoing 96th edition of the Academy Awards, adding another feather to her cap.
Randolph's exceptional portrayal of Mary Lamb in the Christmas comedy-drama film 'The Holdovers', helmed by director Alexander Payne, earned her this prestigious accolade.
Set against the backdrop of 1970, the film narrates the story of a cantankerous history teacher from a New England boarding school, compelled to supervise a group of students left without plans for the Christmas break.
The official Twitter handle of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (@TheAcademy) extended their heartfelt congratulations to Randolph, tweeting, "Kudos to Da'Vine Joy Randolph on securing the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her remarkable performance in 'The Holdovers'! #Oscars."
Randolph emerged as the frontrunner for the award, having swept numerous best supporting actress accolades leading up to the Oscars, including the Golden Globe, Bafta, Critics' Choice, Independent Spirit, and Screen Actors Guild awards.
Amidst the glitz and glamour of the 96th Academy Awards ceremony taking place at the iconic Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, Randolph's triumph stands as a testament to her talent and dedication.
For Indian viewers eager to catch the excitement, the award show is available for streaming on Disney Hotstar.
