In the year 2024, Paul Giamatti was nominated for an Oscar for his role in “The Holdovers”.
Paul Giamatti is known for his talent in portraying challenging characters. He has taken on roles such as a grumpy John Adams and a ruthless U.S. Attorney in “Billions.” In his newest film, “The Holdovers,” Giamatti embodies the character of Paul Hunham, a resentful teacher at a boarding school in New England.
Hunham takes responsibility for the students who have no plans for Christmas. He develops a connection with a defiant child and the school’s mourning chef, portrayed by Da’Vine Joy Randolph, whose late son was a student at the school.
The film has been compared to a “Scrooge-esque Christmas tale,” with Giamatti portraying Scrooge. He believes this description is fitting.
