Curtis received his first Oscar nomination this year for his performance in the film Everything Everywhere All at Once and the Hollywood Academy usually holds a dinner with all the candidates prior to the awards ceremony.
Over the weekend, Curtis, 64, attended the Film Independent Spirit Awards gala, where he told the magazine hollywood reporter that the Oscar nominees dinner this Thursday is too late for her.
The daughter of Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh insisted that she likes to rest all night, even if it means not being able to attend some of the events convened by the Hollywood Academy.
Responding to the reporter, the actress noted: “Now you could say, ‘Jamie, you’re nominated for an Academy Award. Are you going to be in the room with only the Academy Award nominees? And I’ve turned it down.” said the American actress to the aforementioned specialized media.
Because? because mommy goes to bed early
“Why? Because mommy goes to bed early,” he said about his absence. “Because 7:30 PM is going to be 9 before we even have food, and you know what? Nothing good happens to me after 9 o’clock. Nothing. Zero!” she added.
At the Oscars, which will be held next Sunday, March 12, Curtis will compete for the award for best supporting actress with Angela Bassett (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever); Hong Chau (The Whale); Kerry Condom (The Banshees of Inisherin); and Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once).
