The private dinner, which is for Oscar nominees, is at 7:30pm on Thursday—and that doesn't jibe well with Curtis' sleep schedule.

After four and a half decades of gracing us with her presence on the big screen, Jamie Lee Curtis was finally nominated for an Oscar for her performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once.

The icon, however, will not be breaking bread with fellow nominees this Thursday—and for the most relatable reason.


The Best Supporting Actress contender let us in on a little "secret" during a red carpet interview with The Hollywood Reporter at Saturday's Independent Spirit Awards.

She shared:

"I'm going to tell you a secret right now."
"There is a nominees dinner, an Academy Award nominees private dinner on Thursday night that starts at 7:30 p.m., and I have declined."
"Now, you might say, 'Jamie, you're nominated for an Academy Award. You're going to be in the room with only nominees for the Academy Award.' And I have declined."

She continued, revealing the deep, dark truth:

"Why?"
"Because mommy goes to bed early."

Curtis finished:

"'Cause 7:30 p.m. is going to be 9 before we get food, and you know what?"
"There is nothing good happening with me after 9 p.m. Nothing, zero!"

You can watch her honest admission below.

Viewers of the moment were all too familiar with JLC's justification for missing the event and applauded her commitment to quality slumber.










She truly is all of us.

The 95th Academy Awards are this Sunday, March 12, at the Dolby Theatre and will be aired on ABC. Curtis' fellow category nominees include Angela Bassett, Hong Chau, Kerry Condon and Everything costar Stephanie Hsu.

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.
