Why Jamie Lee Curtis NEVER Saw an Oscar Nomination Coming in Her Career (Exclusive) 

That’s so hilarious - Jamie is starving, takes a bite of a slice of pizza, then talks with her mouth full during the interview! She’s so funny! If ever an actress deserves a long overdue Oscar, it’s Jamie Lee Curtis! Not just because she lived a privileged Hollywood life since childhood, but born to act, and act well! She is so humble and complimentary of her fellow co-stars. When co-star, James Hong, age 93, finally received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last March, Jamie gave a beautiful speech honoring James Hong and his longtime career as an Asian actor in movies & TV. Jamie and James connected during filming of EEAAO, and they are now best buds! I hope there will be a big winning sweep for EEAAO at the 2023 Oscars!

She’s so down to earth. Definitely deserves this nomination and moment.

As an older woman myself, I am so happy that Jamie Lee Curtis and Michelle Yeoh were honoured in this astonishing way, this is a great moment for women over 60.

I adore how much Jamie Lee respects, and admires Michelle, it's so great to see woman supporting each other ❤.

Her honesty is one of the reasons why I love her so much. So happy for her 😭

I'd say she should've been nominated for her incredible performance on Freaky Friday - she embodied Lindsay Lohan's character so perfectly. Without that, the movie would never have worked.

She's so awesome. It's about time she got an Oscar nom! Hope she gets it!

I agree all of her performances are and were amazing performances and she should have an award 😊🎉❤❤❤❤

It’s so screwy she don’t have a dozen already !! She is a legend!!

She has been in so many classics, it's almost unbelievable that this is her first nomination.

She should have won an Oscar for True Lies. She was so funny in that.

I was staring at her pearl necklace the whole time and then she tells the backstory of her pearls... How wonderful. ❤

I’m actually obsessed with the pearl fact!

One of my favourite actresses of all times can't believe she never got a Oscar for all the movies that she had done she's such a legend

During the production of Everything... she rented a bagel truck to treat the crew on the day they filmed the bagel scene and a hotdog truck on the day they filmed the hotdog scene

Academy award nominated Jamie Lee Curtis for rest of life and from this day forward

So glad she finally won it! She was incredible in everything she does.

what if she wins? in our perfect universe, she's already the oscar winner.

Jamie Lee is a legendary gem love her wishing her nothing, but good things because someone has wonderful as her deserves them💫❤.

She’s so down to earth and humble. Congrats on winning!

The interviewer STINKS! Jamie looks beautiful and will now be known as (at the very least) "Academy award nominee Jamie Lee Curtis". Bravo Jamie!!

I love her considered answers in her interviews.

You have to love Jamie Lee. Growing up in Hollywood and being so grounded. XXOO

so happy for her. been a huge fan since Fish Called Wanda. She is wonderful in everything. She can do comedy and drama so easily

Look at that beautiful face. No plastic surgery! Look at that beautiful hair. no chemicals. When she opens her mouth, honesty comes out

Well this character was fun to watch her play. While watching I laughed as I got lost in her performance and for a second saw JL and then back to character. Delightful.

And now she's an Oscar winner

Her role is amazing but i think Stephanie deserves this award.

Its about time Jamie is an extraordinary actress this nomination is well deserved Hope she wins

I am still surprised that this is her first Oscar nomination.

She was a blast in "A Fish Called Wanda."

Awwww she’s worthy. Many a role she could have been nominated for.

She was soooo good! Well deserved!!

JLC is such a legend!

A Movie just about the Curtis Family Dynasty in Hollywood would be amazing! Who wouldn't want to wat h that! Tony Curtis, Janet Leigh, Jamie Lee Curtis growing up! WOW! 😳👍🙏

I hope she get the award. I’ve always liked her in the movies since I can remember.

She definitely deserves this 💐

The first moment I saw her tax officer scene many months ago, I already saw neon "Oscar" sign blinking above her head in the dark theater .... I'm glad I was right ...

I love the secret room story. I love the pearls story. I love that she eats when she's hungry. I love Jamie Lee Curtis. I've met a lot of celebrities. I hope I get a chance to meet her one day.

I love Jamie Lee. She's so normal and so elegant all at once. It's overtime for us to celebrate her.

Love her!!!💓💓💓💓💓💓

The pizza is so funny! So nice to see Jamie looking like a human being!

Such a beautiful person! So glad for her.

She is so humble and nice and kind and full of experiences

Love listening to Jamie - so honest and funny! Can she and Stephanie Hsu both get the Oscars?

Her and that movie and everyone involved with it need to win all of the awards.

She absolutely deserves this!

Jamie is too cute!!!! Loved the ending haha

I love Jamie, but the guy caught my eyes and heart❤

My wife Jamie Lee Curtis is awesome and beautiful and amazing

She's so real, love this lady!

She should've been nominated for her role in True Lies. She stole every scene she was in.

You can't not love Jamie Lee Curtis! She is a Hollywood bloomin' icon so is Michelle Yeoh!!!

Jamie Lee Curtis is one of the best actors ever

Jamie starving, finishing interview with mouth full ❤️❤️❤️😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍🏼❤️😆

She literally deserves everything because we don't deserve her!!! 😭

I love her so much. Still so beautiful too.

Love real people! She is totally REAL!!!💋

Love Jamie Lee in Halloween kills awesome movies

Jamie Lee Curtis is such a profound human being, beautiful soul, i love her so much!

Jamie Lee Curtis is sooo incredible ❤ She really really deserve the Oscar 🏆🏆🏆 I just watched her "My Girl " from 1991 Omg it's so overdue that she was never nominated !😯 I can relate with the lost feeling when you put so much heart and soul on things you like and it's never acknowledged . And finally it happened ! 🥁Thank God !🏆 I appreciate the academy still vote for an original movie with authentic roles ! Everybody are so amazing in this movie 🥰 Cheers to the Daniels 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🏆🏆🏆

So happy for her!

Jamie-Lee, you really deserve this. I am so happy for you.

She should have been nominated so many times before. glad she won

A lot of people say she doesn't deserve the nom but she did an amazing job in the film. She should've gotten a nom for A Fish Called Wanda all those years ago. Even if she doesn't win on Oscar night, she already won our hearts. Love JLC!

Feels like he is channeling Sean Evans (tho without the research team). This is a good thing. A positive relationship with the person being interviewed. And the pizza was an awesome, thoughtful, humanizing touch.

she has been so good and so big, nobody believe this.

Love her!!!

I JUST LOVE HER.

She is just so real and cool! Love her! Long time fan!

I love her So happy for her

Room of Requirement (Come and Go Room) do exists, confirm! lol

She's one of a kind, love her!

I love her so much!!!!!

She wrote a childrens book called where do balloons go? Not many people know that and in one of the pictures it shows the Bates motel lol I thought that was pretty cool she added that for her adult fans to notice

I thought they might actually ask that question on the video title….

So happy for Jamie!! 🌟

those round pearls would be the Everything Everywhere All At Once for Jamie

A fish called Wanda...was a great film. She was excellent in it.

She's so fun.

Just love Hamie! Well deserved for her Oscar!

Thank you bellissima zio zino un amico vero italiano 💯💋🌹

JAMIE MANY US JUST LOVE YOU EVER SINCE HALLOWEEN 1 (ESPECIALLY ME) IT IS PAST TIME FOR YOU TO WIN. I WISH YOU THE BEST ALWAYS.

Love her

Great interview

I love her so much I dont know what to do with that love

What’s next for JLC? Oscar has been won!🎉!

Like are you serious she gold for a minute

I'm so glad she won!@

That’s show bizzz you’ll be starving the day (possibly month) of the whole event.

Like Cool Runnings, very cool

Brilliant, she is brilliant.

Loved her in True Lies! Hilarious!🥰🤣

Basset wasn’t robbed she lost. Jamie Lea Curtis kicked arse in her movie loved it but the black panther movie wasn’t that good. See it’s the best that wins not the one who is coloured you gotta deserve to win. Jamie at her age was doing her own stunts and was unrecognisable and that’s called great acting. Edit. The woke clowns and the me generation are just destroying the world

matt cohen so handsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yaaaaas Jamie, go Queen !!

FUCKING AMEN TO HER! BEAUTIFUL.

Fun fact - that belly in EEAAO is the real thing. She said so.

Admire her ..any which way

I think this was a pity nod. She was in this move for like 10 minutes. The academy wanted to reward her for her past performances. A la Sean Connery
