Jamie Lee Curtis hits back at ‘nepo baby’ jokes at 2023 SAG Awards
the 2023 SAG Awards on Sunday.“I got my SAG card when I was 19 years old, when I signed a seven-year contract to Universal Studios and starred in an ABC TV series called the ‘Operation Petticoat,’ which was based on the movie that my father, Tony Curtis — nepo baby! — starred in,” Curtis — the daughter of “Psycho” star Janet Leigh and the “Some Like It Hot” actor Curtis — said during the “I Am an Actor” opening.“I was fired from that TV show a year later and I thought my life was over,” she continued. “But the good news is that if I hadn’t been fired from ‘Operation Petticoat,’ I would have never had the opportunity to audition for a little tiny, no-budget horror movie called ‘Halloween.’ My name is Jamie Lee Curtis, and I am, proudly, an actor.”Jamie Lee Curtis proudly referring to herself as a nepo baby during her “I am an actor” speech was perfection #SAGAwards pic.twitter.com/5vksrPUHThThe “Everything Everywhere All at Once” star, 64, also made a joke about being a nepo baby — a contentious title much-discussed after a recent New York Magazine cover story diving into Hollywood’s dynasty — while accepting her award for best female supporting actor for her performance.“I know you look at me and think, ‘Nepo baby, that’s why you’re here.’ I totally get it,” said Curtis.

Jamie Lee Curtis defends Ariana DeBose’s BAFTAs rap: Haters can ‘shut the f–k up’
gushed to Deadline Saturday night, explaining that the lack of enthusiasm on the crowd’s face was in part due to cameramen shoving cameras into the actor’s faces.Both DeBose, 32, and Curtis were in attendance at Sunday night’s SAG Awards at the Fairmont Century Plaza hotel in Los Angeles, California. Curtis dazzled in a low plunging red gown while DeBose was pretty in pink in a two-piece suit.“Angela Bassett did the thing, Viola Davis my ‘Woman King,’ Blanchett Cate you’re a genius, Jamie Lee you are all of us,” DeBose, 32, rapped at the opening of the BAFTAs, which quickly became a meme.The clash of applause and critique from the internet prompted the Golden Globe-winning actress to deactivate her Twitter account.“She is a fantastic talent, these people should shut the f–k up, back the f–k off and let this woman shine just her light,” Curtis chided the haters.Her comments join in the chorus of praise for the performance amidst the online disgust – even BAFTA showrunner Nick Bullen slammed the critics, saying they probably “don’t like change.” “The songs she was singing are very familiar songs, the room was clapping, and people were sort of dancing to the music,” Bullen told Variety.

Jamie Lee Curtis wades into 'nepo baby' row as she slams 'snide remarks' and 'hurt'
Hollywood due to her "movie star" parents Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh.This comes in the wake of the New York Magazine's controversial nepotism-themed cover, featuring Zoe Kravitz, Maya Hawke and Dakota Johnson.As the nepotism cover dominates the news, Jamie has broken her silence on her own family situation.She admitted in a lengthy Instagram post that there's "not a day" in her professional life that goes by without being reminded that she is the "daughter of movie stars".She wrote in view of her 4.7 million followers: "I have been a professional actress since I was 19 years old so that makes me an OG Nepo Baby."I've never understood, nor will I, what qualities got me hired that day, but since my first two lines on Quincy as a contract player at Universal Studios to this last spectacular creative year some 44 years later, there's not a day in my professional life that goes by without my being reminded that I am the daughter of movie stars."The current conversation about nepo babies is just designed to try to diminish and denigrate and hurt."Jamie then looked into detail about her own experiences as a nepo baby due to her famous parents.She continued: "For the record, I have navigated 44 years with the advantages my associated and reflected fame brought me, I don't pretend there aren't any, that try to tell me that I have no value on my own."It's curious how we immediately make assumptions and snide remarks that someone related to someone else who is famous in their field for their art, would somehow have no talent whatsoever."I have come to learn that is simply not true.
