Jamie Lee Curtis, the Hollywood actress who has been captivating audiences for decades, has won the Best Supporting Actress award at the 95th Academy Awards. This marks the first time Curtis has won an Oscar in her career, and the win has been widely celebrated by her fans and colleagues in the industry.
Curtis was awarded the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her performance in the film “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” which premiered in late 2022. The film, which was directed by the acclaimed duo of Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, features Curtis in a prominent role alongside a star-studded cast that includes Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, and Gabriel LaBelle.
The win was a major milestone for Curtis, who has been a prominent figure in Hollywood for over four decades. She first gained widespread recognition for her role in the 1978 horror film “Halloween,” and has since appeared in dozens of films and television shows. She has also been a vocal advocate for various causes, including environmentalism, child welfare, and human rights.

Curtis, who is 64 years old, looked stunning on the red carpet at the Oscars ceremony. She wore a beautiful gown designed by Dolce & Gabbana and accessorized with jewelry from Harry Winston. She was accompanied by her husband, Christopher Guest, who is also an accomplished actor and director.
During her acceptance speech, Curtis was emotional and thanked the cast and crew of “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” as well as her family and fans. She also paid tribute to her parents, who were both actors and were nominated for Oscars themselves. Curtis noted that her mother, Janet Leigh, who starred in the classic film “Psycho,” had never won an Oscar despite being nominated multiple times. Curtis herself had previously been nominated for two Golden Globes but had never won an Oscar until this year.
Curtis’ win was met with a wave of support and congratulations from her fans and colleagues in the industry. Many praised her for her long and distinguished career and noted that the win was well-deserved. Actress Elizabeth Banks tweeted, “Brava to Jamie Lee Curtis on her #Oscar win tonight! She is a true legend and an inspiration to so many of us. #EverythingEverywhereAllatOnce”.
Director Dan Kwan also expressed his excitement and gratitude for Curtis’ win. In a statement, he said, “I am so proud of Jamie and all of the amazing work she did on this film. She is a true talent and a wonderful collaborator, and I am honored to have worked with her”.
Curtis’ win was also notable for being part of a larger trend at this year’s Oscars ceremony. Many of the winners were actors and filmmakers of color, and the ceremony was praised for its diversity and inclusivity. Michelle Yeoh, who won the Best Actress award, became the first Asian actress to win in that category. Additionally, Ke Huy Quan, who starred in “Everything Everywhere All at Once” alongside Curtis, won the Best Supporting Actor award.
