Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role 2012

Plays Character That Is Related To The Sex Trade Industry
Opal in Bad Santa 2003 & Bad Santa 2 2016
Character Is A Prostitute
Octavia Spencer in Bad Santa 2003
In this minimal role, under five lines, Octavia plays a streetwalker named Opal (who also happens to be a grandmother!). She interacts only with Billy Bob Thornton’s character outside of a motel. But even after her Oscar win, she would reprise the role of Opal the hooker in the sequel of Bad Santa 2. Unfortunately (or maybe it is, fortunately?) the sequel wasn’t as successful as the original movie. So it is doubtful that a Bad Santa 3 is around the corner. But never say never.
