Jamie Lee Curtis’ stunned reaction to winning her first Oscar was the absolute best

“Oh, shut up!”

Jamie Lee Curtis has had quite the storied acting career and now has an Academy Award to show for it.

On Sunday, during the 95th Academy Awards, Curtis won Best Supporting Actress for her role in Everything Everywhere All at Once. The win is Curtis’ first ever Oscar — and her first-ever nomination to boot! — and her acceptance speech was an incredibly moving one as well.

But what the cameras also caught ahead of Curtis’ speech was her reaction to the win. And what a reaction it was, as Curtis was hilariously stunned to learn she won an Oscar on her first-ever nomination.

What a moment! And what a night for Everything Everywhere All at Once as well. Curtis’ costar Ke Huy Quan gave an all-timer of an acceptance speech after his win for Best Supporting Actor earlier in the show.

Jamie Lee Curtis gave a moving speech after her Best Supporting Actress win at the Oscars

Jamie Lee Curtis has now won an Academy Award, and her speech was very moving.

After decades in Hollywood, Jamie Lee Curtis is now an Academy Award winner.

The legendary actress won Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once, the first Oscar in her career.

During her powerful speech, Curtis thanked her family and her fellow cast and crew and gave a special shoutout to her late parents, industry titans Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh.

The latter was nominated in the same category as Jamie Lee Curtis in 1961, adding to the specialness of the moment.

Everything Everywhere All at Once started out Oscar night with aplomb, with Ke Huy Quan also winning Best Supporting Actor.

Those who have grown up watching Curtis on the big screen can appreciate what a cool moment this is. It’s always great when veteran actors can have their time in the sun, and Curtis was incredibly deserving for this award.

Her speech showed how much it meant for her to finally get her due.

Jamie Lee Curtis’ awards history at the Oscars

Has Jamie Lee Curtis ever won an Oscar?

Screen legend Jamie Lee Curtis has spent years entertaining movie fans in a variety of beloved roles.

From Halloween‘s Laurie Strode to A Fish Called Wanda‘s Wanda Gershwitz, the daughter of film icons Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh has built for herself a memorable career, with or without an Oscar.

On Sunday night, Curtis is up for the Best Supporting Actress award for her wacky turn as an IRS employee in Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Would a victory give Curtis her first Academy Award? It would, as this year’s nomination is actually her first at the Oscars.

Outside of a nomination for Everything Everywhere All at Once, Curtis won a BAFTA in 1984 for Best Supporting Actress in the comedy Trading Places and earned a Best Actress nomination for A Fish Called Wanda.

The Golden Globes have nominated Curtis seven times over the years in various film and television categories, and she’s also been nominated by the Emmys, Grammys and Screen Actors Guild.

She won SAG’s Supporting Actress category last month for Everything Everywhere All at Once.

However, a win at this year’s Academy Awards would give her a trophy on her first nomination. It’d be a great moment for a deserving career in Hollywood.

Predicting the 95th Academy Awards, which looks good for Everything Everywhere All at Once

Which films will take home Oscars this weekend? We have our guesses.

With the 95th Academy Awards just around the corner, it’s time we roll up our sleeves and make some predictions.

While it’s impossible to really know what will win (outside of a few locked-in categories), we here at For The Win have a hunch as to what will take home the Oscar gold on Sunday.

Predicting the Oscars is kind of like predicting the Super Bowl. You can size up stats, watch film (literally) and make your best-educated guess, but it’s anyone’s game.

The Academy Awards have long defied perfection on the prediction board; you’re always more lucky to get things right than expectant to.

We’ve gone through all the non-short film categories and rounded up who we think will win. If we’re right, we’re smart and knew all along. If we’re not, blame the Academy not us!

Jamie Lee Curtis had a delightful reaction to winning Best Supporting Actress at SAG Awards

Jamie Lee Curtis might now be an Oscar winner next month.

The Screen Actors Guild threw a fascinating wrench into awards season on Sunday night with its Best Supporting Actress category.

While Black Panther: Wakanda Forever actress Angela Bassett looked poised to cement her status as frontrunner for the Oscar, Everything Everywhere All at Once co-star and industry veteran Jamie Lee Curtis stunned with the victory.

It was her first Screen Actors Guild honor. The win also might be the indicator that Curtis will walk away with her first Oscar.

Since 2009, SAG’s Supporting Actress category has overlapped with the Oscars all but once. In 2018, Emily Blunt won for A Quiet Place in a category where eventual Oscar winner Regina King wasn’t nominated.

Curtis’ reaction to winning the award and ensuing speech were absolutely priceless.

While nothing is settled in stone for March’s Oscar ceremony, the momentum has shifted Curtis’ way and may stay there.

If Bassett still winds up taking home the Academy Award, she’d be the first-ever actress to win for a Marvel film. However, right now, it’s all coming up Laurie Strode.

Jamie Lee Curtis to wear Jaina Proudmoore World of Warcraft cosplay to daughter’s wedding

She’ll officiate the nuptials while dressed as one of World of Warcraft’s finest mages.

Jamie Lee Curtis of Halloween and Knives Out fame will be wearing a World of Warcraft cosplay to her daughter’s wedding. She’ll officiate the nuptials while dressed as Jaina Proudmoore, one of the finest mages in World of Warcraft canon. 

She dropped this bombshell on Jimmy Kimmel Live (via Entertainment Weekly), which she attended to chat about her role in upcoming movie Everything Everywhere All at Once.

According to the actor, her daughter and their fiancé – who are both fans of Blizzard’s long-running MMO – chose the outfit. 

Unfortunately, there might be a delay in her getting hold of the cosplay, since the outfit maker is based in Russia.

“I’m hoping she’ll get it to me,” Curtis said. “I just don’t know if… You know, there’s a little bit of a supply chain issue going on, and things are sort of held up now”.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has been in gaming headlines a lot recently, with studios such as Epic Games raising millions of dollars towards humanitarian relief and esports organizers banning Russian teams from competing at events.
