Philly's Da'Vine Joy-Randolph Wins Best Supporting Actress Oscar

PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia has another star to brag about, with one of its native daughters winning an Academy Awards Sunday night.

Da'Vine Joy-Randolph, a Philadelphia native and Temple University graduate, won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress during the 96th Academy Awards.

Joy-Randolph's performance as Mary Lamb in Alexander Payne's "The Holdovers."

Randolph, 37, earned a Golden Globe Award for the role earlier this year.

She has appeared in numerous films and televisions shows, including "Only Murders in the Building," "Trolls World Tour," and "The United States vs. Billie Holiday."

Randolph has also been nominated for a Tony Award for her role as Oda Mae Brown in the musical adaption of "Ghost."

"The Holdovers" stars Paul Giamatti and Dominic Sessa, who was born in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, alongside Randolph.

Directed by Alexander Payne, the film focuses on a private school teacher (Giamatti), a student stuck at the school over winter break (Sessa), and the school's cook (Randolph), whose son died in Vietnam.

She is one of two people with connections to the Philadelphia region to bring home an Oscar Sunday.

Episcopal Academy graduate Jennifer Lame won the award for Best Editing for her work on Christopher Nolan's epic biographic film "Oppenheimer."

Meanwhile, Philadelphia's Colman Domingo and Abington's Bradley Cooper, both of whom were nominated for Best Actor, while Cooper was nominated for several other Oscars, came home empty-handed.
