Correspondent Lesley Stahl catches up with Paul Giamatti, the veteran actor whose portrayal of a curmudgeonly teacher in the critically-acclaimed film "The Holdovers" has earned him a Best Actor nomination at the 2024 Academy Awards. It's his first Oscars nod in 18 years. Giamatti explains to Stahl that he's made a career out of playing "complicated people" and "people with a complicated relationship to the world" - while playing the theremin in his free time.

He was truly stellar. I wish they could give two Oscars this year!

One of my totem actors. Paul could dine out on Sideways and John Adams forever (first saw him as the make-out guy in Singles). Always wanted to be an extra in one of his films just to ask him if he ever considered doing a baseball movie since his father was the commissioner who banned Pete Rose. Holdovers such a great, throwback 70s movie - Paul a longshot but he'll always be an everyman hero of the screen to me! Long live the great Paul Giamatti! :)

"The Holdovers" is one of the best films I've seen in years. Giamatti's performance is beyond words. Rooting for him to win the Oscar, although even if he doesn't, his work will be remembered for a long time. Randolph (a lock for the Oscar) and Sessa (who was robbed for a supporting nomination) are equally great.

@MichaelSTaylor 3 ай бұрын

Cinderella Man and American Splendor should not be missed. For me Paul Giamatti ranks right up there with Steve Buscemi as character actors that made such an impression you'd hate to imagine watching the movie with someone else in their place. Neither will ever be mistaken for Errol Flynn - who cares? - and both will be remembered forever for their memorable characters.

My favorite actor without question, in 2008 I watched every week John Adams and he made me discover one of the most underrated historical figure, I read the book from McCullough because of how great his acting made me want to know more about Adams. I watched Billions from day one because I knew Giamatti was part of it and watched the Holdovers with my 17 years old son ready to go to college and it became our favorite film in 2023. I don’t think as an actor he can’t disappoint me and I really hope that he can finally get a wide recognition during a worldwide event. Maybe like John Adams he might finally get the spotlight he deserves

I still have 1 min to watch of this video, but I doubt Stahl mentions it....Giamatti is utterly tremendous in that film. I saw that in a theater, moreso because I wanted to go to this specific theater because it was old timey and had a balcony, but the film itself is exceptional and Giamatti should have been nominated for an Oscar (and the fact he won the Golden Globe, but no nod makes the omission (and lack of recognition of the film) worse). But that's typically what happens to Canadian cinema.

Mr. Giamatti is at the apex of his craft; and for my money, one of the very best of my lifetime. (I'm nearly 70). One of his most underappreciated roles was in Cinderella Man. Critics lauded his performance, but it is rarely discussed. I thought he was astonishing, and brought a depth to his character, and to the film, that elevated it from an otherwise ho-hum boxing bi-op. And his work in "Billions" has to be one of the best-ever TV performances. If Paul is in something, I watch.

Paul Giamatti is a film asset and one of the greatest actors of our time. He is such a delight to watch no matter what role he plays. He NEVER plays a part out of ego, or to make himself out to be the "star", and you can tell he never forces anything. He acts and provides EXACTLY what the story and characters NEED for the movie. He's not there to make the movie about himself, he immerses himself so much into the roles he plays, that he IS what makes the movies work, are memorable, and just remarkable. He is a national treasure, an acting phenom and a living legend. The Holdovers is easily one of the best films I've seen in quite a while. He deserves every bit of the praise and recognition he is getting from this role. I HOPE he takes home the Oscar.
