Sunday, March 10, 2024
"The Holdovers" is nominated for five Oscars this year including best picture, best actor for Paul Giamatti and best supporting actress for Da'Vine Joy Randolph.

Already hailed as a new holiday classic, this fresh triumph from "Sideways" director Alexander Payne delivers warmth that shouldn't be mistaken for weakness.

Paul Giamatti shines as a Grinchy teacher who is forced to remain on campus during Christmas break to babysit Dominic Sessa's Angus, a student with nowhere to go.

Da'Vine Joy Randolph won the Oscar for actress in a supporting role, for her performance as the school cook who can't laugh off her pain as the film turns cliches into hard truths.
