If there is indeed an Oscar deserved and commented on during this awards ceremony in 2023, it is that of Jamie Lee Curtis. The actress, who has starred in dozens of films over the past three decades, received her first nomination for her supporting role in film at this 95th annual awards. Everything everywhere all at once.
And at 64 and after a very long film career, the actress can finally say that she is the winner of a golden statuette. A circumstance with which the Academy seems to settle accounts not only with her, who has long deserved it, but also with the “Clan Curtis”.
Because Jamie Lee is the daughter of Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh who have also been nominated several times but never made it to the award like their baby girl did today. The award will say it’s for Best Supporting Actress, but we all know what that Oscar means.
And this is how the interpreter herself made a point of specifying it on the stage of the Dolby Theater during the speech at the award ceremony. This award is for her for this role, but it is also for everyone who has participated in her films over the years.
“Please stop. I have 45 seconds and I promised to do it right because I’m a good girl. I know I feel like I’m alone here, but I don’t. I’m not, I have hundreds of people, I’m hundreds of All the team and the group of artists who made this film… We won an Oscar! To the dream team, my agent… We won an Oscar To my family, my handsome husband, our daughters, my sister… We won an Oscar To all the people who have supported the genre films I have made over the years, the hundreds and the thousands of people (who supported me)… We won an Oscar together!” the actress began.
But the most emotional moment was about to arrive when Jamie Lee Curtis broke down in tears as he remembered and dedicated the award to his parents: “And my mother and my father, both of them were nominated for Oscars in different categories…I just won an Oscar!” “
