I love her so much
Jamie is the best. She's also an avid gamer, believe she went with one of her kids to Evo. Would love to play Street Fighter against her
Everyone should act like her. She's a fantastic mom, person, friend, and hype machine from everything I've seen.
And she wants to play Dr. Kureha from One Piece!

I recall when an interviewer was asking about her Street Fighter fandom and asked her if she played as Chun-Li or Ryu and angrily replied "I'M CAMMY!".
Edit: you're going to read this post and quote it. Don't, I'm already up to date, thanks. Keep to the thread.
I didn't watch but I thought the general air was she wasn't deserving of the Oscar (I've seen the film and I wouldn't think so and I don't even know who she was up against).
Saw a headline about Angela Basset not applauding her win.

ok......
Counterpoint: I thought she was super good in the movie and had to play a compelling person that is both a foil to the antagonist but also relatable and redeemable on top of playing 4-5 iterations of that same character from other worlds and doing a lot of physical comedy and action sequences which is not an easy ask.
They both have great performances but EEAAO was the clear favorite this year so its a rising tide lifts all boats kind of situation. And if you're looking at the entire body of work then yeah I would say JLC deserved one, but so does Angela
I don't know =/. I thought people were gonna be on the hate train as they always are. I'm just genuinely surprised by positive news coming from this. I didn't watch or really keep up with anything other than seeing a couple negative headlines. Sorry for the downer moment.
I think they were all deserving of the Oscar which is why they were nominated. But yeah, some did think Angela was more deserving. Nothing wrong with that, opinions and all. Jamie seems like a cool famous person.
I'll admit that when I found out about Curtis' win, I was surprised that she was up for it and not Stephanie Hsu. That said, Curtis pretty much disappeared into the role, so I'm far from upset about it, even if I had expected Angela Basset to win the award.
But as for the topic at hand: that's awesome. Sent the article over to my partner, who is non-binary, and I hope it gives them a bit of spring to their step today.
I do believe she just got an award because of it.
Joking aside, she does seem like a great person.
And my pronouns are she/___, because I can't ever be her. T_T
Sweet gesture for these trying times.
Seriously, that was news to me haha

This thread is not the place to debate the merits of her win
Let us Trans community people have a win jfc

Teen me had a huge crush on her, and must have watched my VHS taped off of TV copy of trading places a million times. Never was into the Halloween series, but since then, just about every interview and news story about Jamie makes me love her more.
She seems like an absolute joy.
She seems like an absolute joy.
She is Laurie Strode, a fighting game player, and an advocate for the trans community. It's hard to imagine her being any cooler. She rules and it rules that she won the oscar.
Her Game Grumps appearance was so weird because she pretty much ran circles around Arin for the entire episode.
and ok? lets say she wasnt. are we not allowed to have a lighthearted thread about the nonbinary oscar statue?
I think Angela did a better job as far as the dramatic material (even in the short amount of screen time she had).
But Jamie's role was so fun and goofy, and I feel the Academy barely ever awards that.
I feel stupid for bringing it up but kinda pleasantly surprised. I didn't really have a horse in the race, just surprised by a positive thread is all. It was just a knee jerk reaction when I expected a much different thread and vibe when I started reading the title. I didn't have to contribute but my mind went to that place and I was already in the thread. Whoops.
I personally would have hoped for the daughter to win (was she even noninated?) which has been on my mind since seeing Quan's acceptance speech and the rest of the accolades.
But, it's quite cool learning of this side of JLC.
Yeah, I was worried Christopher would come from some awful high Tory family when I first heard about the title, but they were quite a wild bunch, one was a communist resistance fighter lol.
A cool couple.
Jamie Lee Curtis as Vega and Christopher Guest as Dr Bosconovitch
Fun story: I was at that EVO and was standing in one of the halls waiting for one of my buddies to come down, I saw the Vega cosplayer standing there down, Vega being my favorite SF Character (even got a tattoo) I walked up and said "Dope! Vega is my favorite! love your costume!"
They just replied "thank you so much!" And I said "no problem! See you around" and just went about the rest of the day.
About an hour or two later me and my buddies saw on twitter "Jamie Lee Curtis attends EVO with family" and that exact pic was posted. My jaw bout hit the floor. Lmao
I had a quick chat with JLC and didn't even know it haha 😅
I don't hate to tell you. But you're a winner in my eyes excelsiorlef! You rule!
Jaime Lee Curtis also rules. I went to a panel of hers at SDCC for the Halloween reboot. A guy flew across the country, just to meet her. He wanted to thank Curtis Personally for saving his life from a Serial Killer in his home. He mimicked her screaming from the original movie which alerted neighbors. As this guy told his story, he broke down. Jaime Lee Curtis walked off the stage to comfort him. I have a picture of this. I would post it if I knew how to post pictures on this board.
I don't know how, but while watching the movie I didn't realise that Deirdre Beaubeirdre was Jamie Lee Curtis. I feel like such a dunce.
Pause…she's married to Christopher Guest?? That's wild. Anyway, this is such an awesome thing. I love it when parents actually support and love their kids for who they are instead of being the assholes they frequently can be.

Why would you go there
Do you think trans people like being reminded of the dark cloud looming when we're just trying to enjoy a happy thing.
Not only is she married to him, she's the one that pursued him, not the other way around.
The lineup of Guest, Curtis, Jean Todt (Yeoh's long time partner and giant of F1/racing), and Yeoh was quite the foursome on the front row of the Oscars.
That was my big takeaway too. And that Guest is seventy-five years old and like, apparently a British Baron who served in the House of Lords?
