The actor was overcome with emotion after being nominated for her first Oscar for her role in 'Everything Everywhere All at Once.'

Jamie Lee Curtis has been a film staple and icon for decades, making her film debut in 1978 as our beloved Laurie Strode in Halloween.

Now, at 64 years old, Curtis is celebrating her first ever Oscar nomination.


The daughter of Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh found out on Tuesday that she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once...and her reaction was caught on camera!

Curtis posted the reaction photos on Instagram with the caption:

"THIS IS WHAT SURPRISE LOOKS LIKE!"
"One of my oldest besties @debopp texted me at 5:15 that she was sitting in front of my house and did I want company watching the announcements."

You can see her post here:

Curtis shared her friend Debbie Oppenheimer won an Oscar for her documentary Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport—a story of Oppenheimer's mother.

Curtis continued:

"There she was in the pitch black, freezing, cold in a parka. She came in and sat with me as I had sat with her the day she was heading toward the Oscar ceremony, the year she won."
"We held hands. I didn't even realize she took pictures."

She then described the photos in her post:

"The first is the moment of hearing my name, and then the thrill of my friend, Stephanie's @stephaniehsuofficial name, and the rest of the nominations and then the best thing of all, a loving embrace for my husband."
"No filters. No fakery. Just the truth of a moment of joy captured by a friend."

She finished the post:

"Hey @everythingeverywheremovie we went to 11 [nominations]!"

Instagram congratulated Curtis on her long overdue nomination and assured her it was rightfully and well deserved.

In addition to her reaction photos, Curtis also made a heartfelt post on Instagram reflecting on her journey, her nomination and the connection she has to the film.

"It was never even in my wildest dream box."
"I have always felt very much like an outsider looking in and yet always so grateful for any and all opportunities I have had."
"Being a part of this beautiful movie, which just received so many acknowledgments for our talented, motley crew of artists, is the highlight of my professional life."
"As this is a movie about a family of immigrants and their struggles through life, immediately I'm thinking of my parents, children of immigrants from Hungary and Denmark, whose families came here and sacrificed for their children to achieve their dreams."
"I can only imagine what it would feel like for them and their parents to hear that their daughter/granddaughter was nominated this morning for an Oscar."
"I am stunned and humbled and excited for our little movie that could and did and based on today's nominations, continues to do and do and do."

Everything Everywhere All at Once also received Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor.

The Oscars will air live on ABC on Sunday, March 12.

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
