Jamie Lee Curtis wins best supporting actress Oscar for Everything Everywhere

IN a sign of a potential Oscar night sweep, beloved Hollywood mainstary Jamie Lee Curtis took home the Oscar for best supporting actress for her performance as an acerbic IRS agent in 'Everything Everywhere All at Once.' This is her first Oscar nomination and win.

Curtis, 64, is Hollywood royalty as both her parents, Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis, were stars in their time. Leigh famously starred in the classic 'Psycho' and Jamie Lee followed in her horror footsteps with 'Halloween' (1978). Both her parents received Oscar nominations but never won.

Curtis is the one notable non-Asian star in 'Everything Everywhere' and one of four Academy Award nominees along with Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan and Stephanie Hsu, who was also in Curtis' category. Ke had just vacated the stage with this Oscar for best supporting actor. 

Throughout the course of the movie, Curtis has an epic fight scene with Yeoh's character, sprouts hot dog fingers, and ends up in one universe as Yeoh's lover.

Curtis beat out nominees that included Golden Globe winner Angela Bassett ('Black Panther: Wakanda Forever'), Kerry Condon ('The Banshees of Inisherin'), Hong Chau ('The Whale') and her co-star Hsu. – The Vibes, March 13, 2023
