Jamie Lee Curtis may have earned herself another Academy Award nomination thanks to her impressive performance in The Last Showgirl, but it might not be enough to win her the award. The Last Showgirl is very much Pamela Anderson's film, with the plot focusing on her aging Vegas dancer Shelly as she struggles with her age and dwindling job prospects amid the closure of the show she's worked at for decades.
However, Curtis also imbues the character with a surprisingly somber pathos, struggling with her own age and self-awareness. At one point, Annette can be seen dancing alone in the casino to Bonnie Tyler's"Total Eclipse of the Heart," a solitary expression of herself in a casino where she's likely to be replaced just as easily as she was on stage.
Posts The fact that Curtis was considered a longshot for that award underscores that fact, as she won that Oscar despite Angela Bassett being the clear front-runner for the award. While some of this could be chalked up to the momentum that Everything Everywhere All At Once had accumulated by the time those Oscars rolled around, it can't be understated how Jamie Lee Curtis' legacy and skill earned her a space in that spotlight.
Meanwhile, the sheer scale of Wicked's success makes Grande an impressive contender. Curtis' nomination for the SAG Awards suggests the Academy voters are still supportive of the actress, but her relatively recent win at the Oscars and absence from other precursor awards like the Golden Globes make a win less likely for a role that doesn't steal the spotlight quite as well as the ones played by Saldaña, Grande, or Rossellini.
