The industry vet made her way into the best-supporting-actress category for her comedic turn as Deirdre the IRS agent in Everything Everywhere All at Once, most likely buoyed by the outpouring of industry love for the best-picture front-runner. Curtis thanked her Everything Everywhere collaborators and emphasized the group effort that went into her victory: “We just won an Oscar!” Curtis mounted one of the more traditional yet unconventional campaigns. “I know it looks like I’m standing up here by myself, but I’m not, I am hundreds of people,” a visibly emotional Curtis said, acknowledging the vast team behind her film.

I have food.” “I thought it was just sort of like a tweet,” Curtis responded, walking back her roast of the virtual press corps a bit. Please tell me something from Hungary.” Once JLC gets the sillies out of her system, the reporter gets the last laugh: “I don’t have a husband, thank you.” I literally thought when they said “digital,” or “virtual,” I thought it was like a tweet question.” The (in-person) press at this point are cracking up, so she dials up her performance a bit. Backstage, Curtis worked the room like a stand-up comic, or at least a particularly confident wedding emcee, riffing about the “virtual press room” and telling the in-person reporters, “By the way, the virtual people don’t get shit. But then a Hungarian reporter in the virtual press room got on the line and said, “I have good news for you. They don’t get food, they don’t get water, they’re at home, their kids are screaming.” The press laughs, so she goes all in.

Oscars 2023: How Jamie Lee Curtis Got Ready for Her Big Night (Vogue.com)

For Curtis and her glam team, the evening would have been a win regardless of the statue.

[Grace Ahn](https://www.instagram.com/gracegraceahn/?hl=en) and hairstylist [Sean James](https://www.instagram.com/seanjameshair/), were on hand to give her the works. And for both Curtis and her beauty team, the evening would have been a win regardless of the statue. To ramp up the champagne pink of the actor’s crystallized and corseted Dolce & Gabbana (an ideal choice for the [freshly-hued carpet](https://www.vogue.com/slideshow/guy-oseary-oscar-party-2023)), Ahn set the tone with an equally radiant complexion. The actor’s piece-y silver pixie played perfectly with the moment, a head-to-toe study in elegantly frosted blush. But if an air of joyful chaos marked Curtis’s winning performance, her getting-ready routine was all about calm enjoyment (save for one large and irreverent bite straight from the actor’s celebratory cake). [Jamie Lee Curtis](https://www.vogue.com/article/jamie-lee-curtis-halloween-kills-interview) is an icon—and now she’s an Oscar winner, too.
