Jamie Lee Curtisis in favor of seeing award shows go genderless.

Afterwinning her first Oscarfor Best Supporting Actress at the2023 Oscars, theEverything Everywhere All At Oncestar, 64, told reporters that it felt “surreal.”

“Obviously I would like to see a lot more women be nominated so that there’s gender parity in all the areas and all the branches, and I think we’re getting there,” Curtis said. “We’re not anywhere near there. And of course, the inclusivity then that involves the bigger question, which is, how do you include everyone when there are binary choices, which is very difficult.”

“As the mother of a trans daughter I completely understand that,” Curtis said in the press room at the 95th Academy Awards. “And yet, to de-gender the category, also, I’m concerned [that] will diminish the opportunities for more women, which is something I also have been working hard to try to promote. So it’s a complicated question, but I think the most important thing is inclusivity and more women.”

“I think we are them in our actions and in our deeds and in our ideas,” she continued. “And then we build our own. We give them to our children and that’s how the world goes on. So I am a product of them. And I am a proud product of them. And I know that they will be incredibly proud of me.”
