When The Holdovers<\/a> was released in UK cinemas in January, many film fans were confused as to why something so obviously Christmassy was only arriving in cinemas after the festive period<\/a> had passed.<\/p>\n

And it turns out that star Da\u2019Vine Joy Randolph \u2013 who won the BAFTA Film Award for Best Supporting Actress<\/a> last night (Sunday 18th February) \u2013 was just as baffled by that choice of release date as cinemagoers.<\/p>\n

Speaking to RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other outlets at the BAFTA winners press conference, she said: \u201cI know you guys got it in like January? That\u2019s absurd.\u201d<\/p>\n

And adopting an English word, she added: \u201cB*****ks,\u201d which prompted lots of laughter in the room.<\/p>

Asked more generally about release dates and how cinemagoers currently watch films, she responded: \u201cListen, I think the industry is changing. As in all things in life, things adapt, they improve, they change. The biggest thing is making sure the stuff is getting seen \u2013 whether it\u2019s on streaming, whether it\u2019s in a theatre, that\u2019s great.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the reality is, things are moving. So the only thing I can ask for is that I continue to pick great pieces that get seen by people. Some of the best movies I\u2019ve ever seen have been while I\u2019m on a plane, and I\u2019m scrolling through and I didn\u2019t even see something and I\u2019m moved to tears.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo the biggest thing I can ask for is that stuff just gets seen,\u201d she continued. \u201cI don\u2019t get too much into the minutiae of it. But yes, I get it. And it\u2019s difficult, especially when you have independent movies trying to break through or trying to get those box office numbers. It can be challenging, and I think it\u2019s really crucial to just really do great high-quality work.\u201d<\/p>\n
