Ayo Edebiri is on an unstoppable winning streak, clinching every award for which she was nominated in 2024. The dazzling star of “The Bear” is soaring to new heights and shows no signs of slowing down!
She completed her awards season streak by winning Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series at the 2024 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards.
Also in the running for the coveted award were The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’s Alex Borstein and Rachel Brosnahan, Quinta Brunson from Abbott Elementary, and Ted Lasso’s Hannah Waddingham.
While accepting the award, Edebiri shared,
“This is insane. Okay, I’m so grateful. I’m really, really, really just grateful, and I’m looking out at this room of people whose work moves me and motivates me and makes me feel and laugh, and I’m just so grateful to be here.”
The 28-year-old has won many awards in the last month, notably the Emmy, Critics Choice Awards, and Golden Globe awards for the same category.
On the same night, the star actress of The Holdovers, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, also won the award for an outstanding performance by a female actor in a supporting role. She was up against Emily Blunt for Oppenheimer, Danielle Brooks for The Color Purple, Penélope Cruz for Ferrari and Jodie Foster for Nyad.
“I wake up every day overwhelmed with gratitude to be a working actor. To be awarded this by my fellow artists is the greatest honour of my career.”
Now a Golden Globe, Critics’ Choice Award, and BAFTA winner, Randolph continues to find awards season success for her work as Mary Lamb in The Holdovers.
In the film, she plays a cook and grieving mother working at the Barton Academy who stays at the New England boarding school during the holiday season. Opposite rising star Sessa and fellow nominee Giamatti, Randolph delivers one of the year’s most decorated performances.
