Oscar-winner Jamie Lee Curtis made a tearful appearance on the Today show following her recent victory. She won an Academy Award on Sunday (March 12) for best supporting actress for her performance as an IRS agent in the critically acclaimed Everything, Everywhere, All At Once.
Today show hosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb welcomed the actress on the show, where she appeared remotely, wiping tears from her eyes. “Here they are!” she said, appearing with the Oscar statue right by her side.
“Have we named her?” Guthrie asked.
Curtis responded, “In support of my daughter Ruby, I’m having them be a they/them. I’m going to just call them, them. They/them, and they are doing great, they’re settling in.
“In my life, I never saw it in a million years that I’d have this couple days, and I’m very moved by the whole thing,” she continued.
