Jamie Lee Curtis Achieves Career Milestone With Best Supporting Actress Win at the 2023 Oscars
Jamie Lee Curtis has won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role as Deirdre Beaubeirdre in “Everything Everywhere All at Once“.
She beat out a talented group of nominees for the award, including Angela Bassett (“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”) Hong Chau (“The Whale”), Kerry Condon (“The Banshees of Inisherin”), and Stephanie Hsu (“Everything Everywhere All at Once”).
This was Curtis’ first Oscar nomination and win in a four-decade acting career that includes “Halloween,” “Trading Places,” and “True Lies”.
In her acceptance speech, Curtis expressed her gratitude to the many people who helped her achieve this milestone.
“I know it looks like I’m standing up here by myself but I am not. I am hundreds of people,” she said.
“To all of the people who have supported the genre movies that I have made for all these years. The thousands and hundreds of thousands of people… we just won an Oscar together!
“And my mother and my father were both nominated for Oscars in different categories. I just won an Oscar!” Curtis exclaimed.
“Everything Everywhere All At Once” leads the Oscars race this year with 11 nominations. Ke Huy Quan also took out the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, marking their second win of the night.
Last year, the award went to Ariana DeBose for her role as Anita in “West Side Story”. During her acceptance speech, the actress noted the significance of an “openly Queer, woman of colour” being honoured at the awards ceremony.
