Following a triumphant awards sweep last week's Best Supporting Actress Bafta means an Oscar is the only one remaining - Da Vine Joy Randolph, 37, hopes people will stop describing her performance in The Holdovers as a "breakthrough" role.
Her first big break, after all, was in 2011, appearing in the West End in London a mere six months after graduating from Yale University in the US with a master's in musical theatre.
The classically trained opera singer had been cast to play psychic Oda Mae Brown in the Broadway version of Ghost: The Musical, but was suddenly asked to go to London and take over the role from Sharon D Clarke after she'd been injured.
When she did return to Broadway, her performance earnt her a Tony nomination and she's been a pretty big deal ever since, co-starring with Hollywood names including Brad Pitt, Sandra Bullock, Eddie Murphy and Steve Martin.
But it's her performance as The Holdovers' school cook Mary Lamb, mourning the death of her son, that has melted even the stoniest of hearts.
CHANGE OF TONE
A Christmas release in many countries, The Holdovers was that rare holiday film that didn't rely on a saccharine script wrapped up in a mistletoe kiss.
