Da’Vine Joy Randolph is going to the Oscars and she’s bringing some guests.
The actress, cleaning up this awards season for her work alongside Paul Giamatti and Dominic Sessa in Alexander Payne. The remains, earned a nomination for best supporting actress for the upcoming Oscars. While being invited to the big party on March 10, she said vanity fair that it had become a challenge to ensure that the people closest to her could accompany her that night.
“They’re telling me I might just have one extra ticket, so that’s my mission. Can you imagine the people in your life saying, ‘I want to come!’ And you say, ‘And you should come because you’ve helped me significantly in my life,’” he told the magazine’s David Canfield. “If I can get five, I don’t care if my people are back there (on the balcony), I don’t need five people in my row. Get Oscar tickets, or buy Oscar tickets, whatever we need to do. “I have some family members who would be very upset, so I have to figure it out.”
Even last week, Randolph indicated he was still in the hunt, making a public plea during an appearance on See what happens live.
Randolph appeared at Sunday’s Spirit Awards in Santa Monica, where The Hollywood Reporter Requested a status update. Turns out she got the tickets. “Thank you all,” Randolph said, although she did not provide additional details. She attributed the acquisition to the “power of demonstration” and declined to say how many tickets she got. “I can’t tell you that. “You must get me into trouble.”
But what she would say is that the Oscars represent a “celebration of the people in my life” who have helped her get to this point. “I share this with them. They have to be there, and I am infinitely grateful that people were kind enough to make it happen for me.”
Randolph added another trophy to his collection on Sunday by collecting a Spirit Award for Best Supporting Performance. Her haul so far also includes a Golden Globe, a SAG Award, a Critics Choice Award, and honors from the New York Film Critics Circle and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, to name a few. She has gone through the various stages with prepared comments, and said THR why that has become a strategy for her these last few weeks.
“I’m just writing it to make sure I can articulate it appropriately and how I feel, but I mean it,” he said, adding that he wrote his Spirit Awards speech about an hour before arriving at the event. “This is a very beautiful moment. No complaints. It’s definitely an incredible moment of not only recognition, but it means a lot to me that I can show up authentically as myself and do what I love and be true to it, and that people receive it so warmly. That means a lot.”
