Jamie Lee Curtis will be missing some planned award shows as she has tested positive for COVID, she confirmed on Instagram today. While she goes through the circuit for Everything Everywhere All at Once, she will be missing tonight’s AFI Awards luncheon and Sunday’s Critics Choice Awards. This comes off her attending the Golden Globes on Tuesday, where she was nominated for her supporting role in the sci-fi film.
In the Instagram post, Jamie Lee Curtis shared the news about her COVID test and how she will miss out on being “head cheerleader” to support her co-stars and crew members who worked on Everything Everywhere. She wrote that she was “looking forward to” the Critics Choice Awards and the BAFTA Tea Party.
Jamie Lee Curtis confirms she has COVID, missing out on Award ceremonies
A24 found its biggest hit with Everything Everywhere All at Once. While it grossed over $100 million at the box office with great reviews and fan support, it was uncertain it would get much buzz at the award shows. Releasing back in March, often movies that early get buried. It has risen to the occasion with nominations and wins at various ceremonies. At the Golden Globes, Michelle Yeoh won for her leading role and Key Hu Quan for his supporting role. Quan had not acted in approximately 20 years and now has a Golden Globe with more work ahead of him, like Loki season 2.

Although COVID is in the way, Jamie Lee Curtis and her colleagues have to look forward to possible more wins and nominations for the hit multiverse movie. BAFTA will announce its nominees on January 20, with the Academy Awards announcing shortly after on January 24. With the buzz and nominations/wins from other shows, the film is expected to be nominated for some Oscars.
Everything Everywhere All at Once is currently available on streaming platforms.
