Jamie Lee Curtis wins Best Supporting Actress Oscar
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jamie Lee Curtis has made his long-awaited first Oscar nomination count.
Curtis won Best Supporting Actress for her role as Deirdre Beaubeirdre in “Everything, Everywhere, All At Once.” She plays an IRS agent who has multiple appearances across different timelines in the multiverse.
“My mom (Janet Leigh) and my dad (Tony Curtis) were both nominated for Oscars in different categories,” Curtis said, beginning to cry as he accepted the award. “I just won an Oscar!”
The 64-year-old actor became the eighth oldest in the category’s history to win. She surpassed Judi Dench, who held the spot for her role in “Shakespeare in Love.”
Curtis starred in a number of films, including the “Halloween” franchise films from 1978, as well as other notable projects such as “Trading Places”, “My Girl”, “True Lies” and “Knives Out “. But it was her performance in “Everything Everywhere All at Once” that finally landed her in the Oscars record books.
Last month, Curtis won the SAG Awards for Best Supporting Actress.
Curtis beat out Angela Bassett, Kerry Condon, Hong Chau and Stephanie Hsu in the category.
