Da’Vine Joy Randolph’s awards history at the Oscars

Has Da’Vine Joy Randolph ever won an Academy Award?

Da’Vine Joy Randolph delivered one of the most acclaimed performances of 2023 in the holiday dramedy The Holdovers.

The veteran actor earned her first Oscar nomination for the film in the Best Supporting Actress category where she’s poised to win after taking home the Golden Globe, the SAG Award, the BAFTA and the Critics’ Choice Award in the same category.

Barring a major upset, Randolph will very likely win at the Oscars on March 10, which would bring her Academy Awards number to one.

It’d be a very deserved win for such a phenomenal performance, and it may be The Holdovers‘ main recognition on Oscar night should it strike out in other categories.
