“The Holdovers” star Da’Vine Randolph had nothing but praise for God 
during her acceptance speech on Sunday at the 96th Academy Awards.

During the Oscars awards show at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, the 
37-year-old actress got emotional before she took the stage to accept 
the award for Best Supporting Actress, her first ever Oscar and first 
nomination.

“God is good. God is so good,” Randolph told the room of Hollywood 
stars. “God is so good.”

Randolph then told the story of how she was never supposed to be part 
of Hollywood and how it was her mother who gave her the encouragement 
to try something different.

“You know, I didn’t think I was supposed to be doing this as a career,” 
the actress explained. “I started off as a singer, and my mother said 
to me, go across that street to that theater department, there’s 
something for you there. And I thank my mother for doing that.”

“Thank you to all the people who have stepped in my path and has been 
there for me,” she added. “And who has ushered me and guided me. I am 
so grateful to all you beautiful people out here.”

“For so long, I have always wanted to be different,” Randolph 
continued. “And now I’ve realized I just need to be myself. And I thank 
you for seeing me.”

She then closed out her speech by thanking her publicist and said she 
prays to God she gets to “do this more than once.”

In “The Holdovers,” Randolph played Mary Lamb, the grieving mother of a 
son who was killed while serving his country, who works as a cook in a 
prep school. She ends up spending the Christmas vacation with a 
troubled student, played by Dominic Sessa, and a history teacher, 
played by Paul Giamatti.

A description about the movie reads, “A cranky history teacher at a 
prep school is forced to remain on campus over the holidays with a 
grieving cook and a troubled student who has no place to go.”

Randolph’s breakout role has been huge for her. She previously took 
home a Golden Globe, a Critics Choice Award, BAFTA, and SAG Award for 
her performance in the movie, CNN noted.

“The Holdovers” is nominated for a total of five Oscars at Sunday’s 
show, which includes Best Picture and a Best Actor nod for Giamatti, 
CNN noted.
