Da’Vine Joy Randolph is on cloud nine after winning Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Holdovers. She was so excited and grateful that she shouted out her publicist, and fans started making memes because of the shoutout.
Listen, when you win an Academy Award, you want to thank all the people who helped get you there. That’s exactly what Da’Vine Joy Randolph did after she won her first Oscar. During an incredibly heartfelt acceptance speech, Da’Vine shouted out her mom, a teacher and her publicist for helping her get to that moment, especially because she never thought it was her life’s journey to act. (See the 2:12 mark of the clip below.)
