Da’Vine Joy Randolph will take any extra tickets she can get for the Oscars.
The actress, who received her first Academy Award nod for her supporting role in The Holdovers, has been on the hunt for additional tickets since the Oscar nominations were announced in January.
The actress stopped by Watch What Happens Live on Monday, where she discussed her updates on the search. She also talked about how she’s been bonding with her fellow best supporting actress nominee Emily Blunt (Oppenheimer) throughout the awards circuit.
“If anyone would like to contribute to giving me an additional ticket that you may not need… I need five tickets,” she said, as Cohen joked maybe her friend Blunt could help, to which Randolph responded, “Maybe the husband [John Krasinski] gets one just because he is who he is. I might give her a text.”
The Only Murders in the Building standout first noted she was hoping to get a few more tickets for Hollywood’s biggest night in an interview with Vanity Fair following her nomination. She shared that she was told she would only have one extra ticket, and her “mission” was to find more.
“Can you imagine the people in your life that are, like, ‘I want to come!’ And you’re, like, ‘And you should come because you’ve helped me significantly in my life,’” she told the publication. “I don’t care if my people are back there [on the balcony], I don’t need five people in my row. Get Oscar tickets, or buy Oscar tickets, whatever we’ve got to do — I have some family members that would be very upset, so I’ve got to figure that out.”
The 96th annual Oscars will take place on March 10.
