Pamela Anderson Shares Surprising Reaction To Oscars Snub For 'The Last Showgirl'
HuffPost
The "Baywatch" actor has earned the best reviews of her career for her performance in the film, which co-stars Jamie Lee Curtis.
Pamela Anderson may be enjoying some of the best reviews of her career, but she says she isn’t too vexed about not snagging an Oscar nomination.
Anderson had become a surprise award season contender for “The Last Showgirl,” directed by Gia Coppola. But when the Academy Award nominations were unveiled Thursday, the actor ― and “The Last Showgirl” as a whole ― were noticeably absent from the list.
Speaking to Elle shortly after the nominations were announced, the “Baywatch” actor reiterated how “The Last Showgirl” represented a major step up for her as an actor nonetheless.
“Oh my gosh, it’s not something I ever expected. Doing the work is the win,” she told the outlet. “That’s what I like to do, and I think we can lose sight of that sometimes in this whole crazy awards season, but it’s nice to be recognized, and it’s all a bonus.”
And while Anderson may have missed out on an Oscar nod, she remains grateful at having received her first Golden Globe nomination and a Screen Actors Guild (SAG) nomination for her performance.
