At the SAG Awards in 2023, Jamie Lee Curtis won for her performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once. She referred to the achievement as an «f—ing dream, man.»

As she accepted her significant award at the SAG Award 2023, it was actually an emotional speech. The actress portrays the character in Everything Everywhere All at Once’s show brilliantly despite having a supporting role.

The candidates were Angela Bassett from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Hong Chau from The Whale, Kerry Condon from The Banshees of Inisherin, and Stephanie Hsu from Everything Everywhere All at Once.

The actress had Michelle Yeoh kiss her on the lips before approaching the stage after being startled when her name was called. She replied to the standing ovation she received by turning red with emotion and yelling, «Come on!»

Actors Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, Curtis’ parents, are thought to be the source of her artistic talent. The actress made care to commemorate them and gave special respect to their journey as two artists paving their way in Hollywood after losing her mother in 2004 and her father in 2010.

The 64-year-old began overwhelmed and broke down in tears as she stated, ’I’m wearing the wedding ring that my father gave my mother.’’

She continued to explain that her dad was from Hungary and her mom was from Denmark, disclosing, “They had nothing, and they became these monstrous stars in this industry.”

She spoke while on stage, expressing her love and gratitude for her job while mentioning that both of her parents were performers. The actor said, «I adore performers. I enjoy acting. I enjoy the work that we do. I adore being a crew member. I adore being a cast member. I adore the things we accomplish together. It’s such lovely work.

She also recognized the challenges she would face in this field and wondered aloud to herself many nights, «Is it ever going to be doable for me? «, considering that many actresses fail to land jobs.

Then, Curtis declared how proud she was to nail it, saying, “I’m 64 years old and this is just amazing!’’ She expressed her admiration for her 60-year-old co-star, actress Michelle Yeoh, disclosing that she appeared in the movie just to have a chance to work with her.

Jamie Lee finished her speech by declaring, “What a dream…”

Moreover, Curtis told the media that she wore her mother’s wedding band because she wanted to «bring» her parents along to the wedding. She said, «This morning, while I was gathering my jewelry to wear for tonight, I noticed it in a small box, and I thought about my parents, and I wouldn’t be here without them.»

The award-winning actress’s good fortune lies in this ring, and we have no doubt that her parents would have been immensely proud of their daughter’s accomplishment.
