Da’Vine Joy Randolph & Paul Giamatti Forged A Dynamic Dramatic Shorthand For Alexander Payne’s ‘The Holdovers’ – Contenders Film: The Nominees
Deadline's Contenders Film: The Nominees panel featured Alexander Payne, Paul Giamatti, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, David Hemingson and Mark Johnson.
Randolph detailed the scene where Giamatti’s Paul meets up with Mary to watch an episode of The Newlywed Game; the two are stranded over the Christmas break as the only adults in charge at a Massachusetts private school of a band of misfit students who’ve been left behind by their parents. The scene was a nice mirror: Here are two opposites in Mary and Paul, getting to know each other on a deeper level as married couples are trying to maneuver their blind spots. The Holdovers is nominated for five Oscars including Best Picture, Film Editing and Original Screenplay, as well as Giamatti as Best Actor and Randolph for Supporting Actress.
