After wowing audiences in ‘The Holdovers,’ the actress is a favorite to win an Academy Award. Maybe then she’ll believe the hype.
Instead of forcing an embrace, Randolph is keeping an almost clinical distance from the hype swirling around her as she tries to dissect what it all means. Consider this example on her Instagram feed: Inshe posted in January, the actress’s expression might best be described as “over it” as an off-screen journalist heaps on the flowers.
“Is this something you ever enjoy in the way that people understand enjoying something?” he asks. For Giamatti, an Oscars moment like the one he and Randolph are having is “a wonderful acknowledgment” that can open doors to more work. Randolph has been careful while building her résumé, hoping to prove that range and quality are within every artist’s reach. You just have to make the industry see it. And you’ll certainly have to pass on work that might pay the bills but dilute the message. Hollywood is already sending her more Mary roles. She’s already on to the next thing.“She told me early on, ‘I want to have a career where I can play anything,’” Payne says. The director has no doubts.
“We were all behind the monitor silently sobbing,” Kravitz says. Where Randolph is now, at the front of Hollywood’s awards conversation, was inevitable to Kravitz. “This was always going to happen. No part of me is surprised that she is at this level right now.”The actress admits to having impostor syndrome “big time.” Who doesn’t these days? But Randolph can pinpoint the moment when she went from knowing where she was headed to feeling as though she’d been kicked off course.
