Paul Giamatti took home the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Music, or Comedy for playing Paul Hunham, a cranky Barton Academy boarding school professor Paul Hunham, who has no qualms about calling students more than half his age “vulgar little Philistines.” He’s ordered to remain on campus during Christmas break and watch over the students with nowhere to go for the holiday. The movie really begins capturing the closeness Christmas inspires when that holdover crew dwindles to simply Professor Hunham, angsty troubled student Angus Tully (Dominic Sessa), school janitor Danny (Naheem Garcia), and cafeteria manager and head cook Mary Lamb (Da’Vine Joy Randolph). Suffering isn’t typically a catalyst for Christmas cheer, but these four people becoming a family is beautiful to watch on screen.

Randolph took home the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture after delivering a crushing performance as a grieving mother shouldering the weight of her son’s death in the Vietnam War while simultaneously being the emotional anchor for Angus and Paul when they get lost in their cynicism. Sessa peels off Tully’s petulance one wisecrack at a time until all that’s left is a yearning child who doesn’t fit into the Christmas plans of his mother’s new marriage and is unrecognizable to his mentally ill father. Then, there’s Paul, a man who has a medical condition that repels people away from him because of his stench, comes crashing into the realization that he is his own worst enemy through a relationship with Tully that grows into a surrogate father of sorts, instilling in him lessons of decency while also learning from him the transformative power of compassion.
