"The Holdovers" had its world premiere at the 2023 Telluride Film Festival, where it received universal acclaim, with many claiming it to be Alexander Payne's best film since "Sideways." The film reunites him with that 2004 film's star Paul Giamatti in a role that has earned him Critics Choice and Golden Globe nominations for Best Actor, while his co-star Da'Vine Joy Randolph has received the same nominations with both winning prizes from the National Board Of Review. The film also introduces the world to Dominic Sessa in his first film role, for which he's won a few breakout prizes this awards season and is nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for Best Breakthrough Performance. Giamatti and the film's editor, Kevin Tent, were kind enough to spend time talking with me while Joy Randolph and Sessa spoke with\xa0Daniel Howat. Please be sure to listen to the interviews below and check out the film, which is now streaming on Peacock and is up for your consideration in all eligible categories at the 96th Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor,\xa0Best Original Screenplay, and Best Film Editing.
