>Paul Giamatti dedicated his Golden Globe win to teachers, accepting the award for best performance by an actor in a motion picture – musical or comedy. Giamatti stars in Alexander Payne’s “The Holdovers” as a curmudgeonly New England prep school instructor who must stay on campus over winter break, forming bonds with a student (Dominic Sessa) and the school’s cook (Da’Vine Joy Randolph).

Paul Giamatti’s a class act
Such a beautiful movie and gesture. It’s rare when the sentiment of a movie carries over into the real world and manifests itself.
In a world of streaming wars, writing and acting has seemingly been cast aside for thousands of programs that blend into each other. Alexander Payne and Giamatti broke this with a wonderful, entertaining film that evoked real emotion and real thought. Cheers to Paul and cheers to Alexander.
