At Oscars 2023, Jamie Lee Curtis was our meme queen once again (British GQ)

Levitating off the floor in victory, Jamie Lee Curtis cemented her place as a no-context reaction trend legend at the Oscars 2023.

There were also a fair few “it's the Activia” [jokes](https://twitter.com/mihailo____/status/1635145721799380994?s=20), a reference to her long-memed (and [fancam](https://twitter.com/mikaylasmedia/status/1539382245059870721?s=20)-ed) ambassadorship for the probiotic.

And as the hours-long ceremony came to a close with that award, Curtis took one final chance to complete her personal clean sweep of the 2023 season: as our resident meme queen. Naturally, the internet has done what the internet is wont to do: run with it.

Jamie Lee Curtis has said she wants to see “more women" at the Oscars. The actress' comments followed her 'Best Supporting Actress' win.

She went on to argue that award shows can and should “include everyone” despite the “binary” nature of the ‘Best Actor/Actress’ categories.

Jamie Lee Curtis quips 'don't cancel me,' Brendan Fraser in shock ... (USA TODAY)

From Brendan Fraser to Michelle Yeoh, this awards show season was about comebacks and historic wins, and it all culminated at the Oscars press room.

Jonathan Majors made a beeline for Jay Ellis, Monica Barbaro, Greg Tarzan Davis and the rest of the "Top Gun: Maverick" cast to say hello and chat for a bit before being approached by a young fan. Following her emotional performance, the artist was then assisted carefully down from the platform. “By the way, the virtual people don’t get (expletive),” Curtis said. Crew quickly pulled out backdrops for the Fenty mogul's set while platforms emerged from the stage's floor. "It’s insane that at one point I would try a different name," he said. "I would call (my agent) once every three months," he said. Best actor winner for "The Whale," Fraser, received a standing ovation from members of the press backstage. Pascal's minder told theater staff: "Please take him to his seat, he's in the monologue." 'So, I guess I should get up there and say something,' " Fraser said teary-eyed. Michelle Yeoh made a sudden sharp diversion to seek out and hug her "Everything Everywhere All at Once" co-star Stephanie Hsu. He might have been surprised by the brief appearance, but, when called out by host Jimmy Kimmel in the opening number, Pascal played his small part perfectly. "I am so proud of you," Sue Spielberg said to her director brother.

Jamie Lee Curtis wins first Oscar, while Spielberg misses out (Jewish Chronicle)

Despite seven nominations, The Fablemans failed to win a single award.

Cohen and Quan appeared in “The Goonies” together in 1985, and when Quan landed his big “Everything Everywhere” role, Cohen negotiated the terms of his deal. One of the most heartwarming moments of the evening was the best supporting actor win for Ke Huy Quan for “Everything Everywhere All At Once.” The film lost out on the biggest categories, including best picture, director, actress, and original screenplay, all to “Everything Everywhere All At Once.” “All Quiet on the Western Front,” Netflix’s grueling drama about German soldiers on the frontlines of World War I, ended the night with four Oscars: international feature film, original score, cinematography and production design. “The Fabelmans,” Spielberg’s highly personal dramatization of his Jewish upbringing, didn’t win a single one of the Oscars it was nominated for Sunday night. “Halloween” star Lee Curtis won the best supporting actress award for “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” a genre-defying, multi-dimensional immigrant tale.

Did Angela Bassett Deserve The Oscar More Than Jamie Lee Curtis? (Fortress of Solitude)

Jamie Lee Curtis won the Oscar for Best Actress in a Supporting Role, over Angela Bassett, and fans are highly unimpressed.

There have been statements like “Hollywood is making up for all of the other memorable roles that Jamie Lee Curtis should have gotten an Oscar for but didn’t deserve this one”, and saying that she was the least memorable part of the movie. Most voters decided Jamie Lee Curtis deserved this award over the other nominees. The results of this year’s Oscars were a rollercoaster ride, and many fans thought should have ended after Angela Bassett lost against Jamie Lee Curtis for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. Unfortunately for her, and disappointingly for her fans and friends, she wasn’t awarded the Oscar for this one. Others felt that one of Curtis’ co-stars, Stephanie Hsu, who played Joy in Everything Everywhere All at Once, should have won over Jamie Lee Curtis for her better performance. While many viewers felt it was deserved, as this was the first time in her career that she had been nominated for an Oscar, despite her long and successful list of Hollywood accomplishments, others felt very differently.

What’s more, Angela was the first person to be nominated for a performance in a Marvel film at the Oscars. I like Jamie Lee Curtis but she didn’t outperform Angela Basset or Stephanie Hsu,” said another. And by the time the end of her heartwarming speech, Jamie Lee was in tears as she exclaimed: “I just won an Oscar!” Sadly, the Academy has done little to acknowledge its lack of diversity since its first-ever awards show in 1929. I was disappointed by her not winning, but more disappointed by her reaction,” another person wrote.

Backstage, Curtis worked the room like a stand-up comic, or at least a particularly confident wedding emcee, riffing about the “virtual press room” and telling the in-person reporters, “By the way, the virtual people don’t get shit. But then a Hungarian reporter in the virtual press room got on the line and said, “I have good news for you. They don’t get food, they don’t get water, they’re at home, their kids are screaming.” The press laughs, so she goes all in.
