The star won her first Oscar for her role in ‘The Holdovers’
Da’Vine Joy Randolph completed her award season sweep with a triumph!
The star, 37, won at the 2024 Oscars on Sunday, taking home Best Supporting Actress for her performance in The Holdovers. The award was presented by five of the category’s past winners: Regina King, Jamie Lee Curtis, Rita Moreno, Lupita Nyong’o and Mary Steenburgen.
“God is so good,” Randolph, already in tears, began her speech.
“I didn’t think I was supposed to be doing this as a career,” she said. “I started off as a singer. And my mother said to me, ‘Go across that street to that theatre department. There’s something for you there.’ And I thank my mother for doing that.”
She continued, “I thank you to all the people who have stepped in my path and been there for me, who have ushered me and guided me. I am so grateful to all you beautiful people out here. For so long, I’ve always wanted to be different, and now I realize I just need to be myself.”
The Only Murders in the Building star, 37, continued, “I thank you for seeing me.”
