Jamie Lee Curtis playfully expresses impatience over potential Oscar presenter role on 'Today'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jamie Lee Curtis expressed her curiosity and impatience about her potential role as a presenter at the upcoming Oscars ceremony.

Jamie Lee Curtis asks Oscars producers if she's presenting as she'd like 'to arrange things'

In the conversation, Curtis faced the camera and directed her comments to the Oscar organizers, discussing the possibility of her presenting the ceremony scheduled for Sunday, March 10.

"Oscar people: Am I presenting?" the 65-year-old actress asked after Kotb posed her the question.

"It's usually a tradition that last year's winner presents this year — well, they haven't called yet," the 'Everything Everywhere All At Once' star told the host.

"Would you please call? I'd like to get a dress, and I would like to arrange things," Curtis jokingly addressed the camera once more.

In March 2023, when Curtis accepted her Best Supporting Actress trophy from presenters Troy Kotsur and Ariana DeBose, she told the audience at Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles that it "looks like I am standing up here by myself, but I'm not. I am hundreds of people."

"We just won an Oscar," she added as she gave a shout-out to the crew members of 'Everything Everywhere.'

"To all of the people who have supported the genre movies I have made all these years, the thousands and hundreds of thousands of people, we just won an Oscar together!".

"And my mother and my father were both nominated for Oscars in different categories," the actress said of her parents Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis.

"I just won an Oscar," she concluded.

Jamie Lee Curtis was a 'little weepy' after her Oscar win

The 'Knives Out' star who made her virtual appearance on the 'Today' show following her Oscar win recalled the moment she won the award.

"I'm a little weepy," she told Kotb and co-anchor Savannah Guthrie as she began tearing up while viewing a clip of her acceptance speech for the first time.

The 'Halloween' actress went on to discuss her desire to emphasize "friendship" with her Oscar win, noting, "The truth of the matter is, the people I really wanted to thank, and I didn't, were my friends."

"My friends who wanted this for me before I ever, ever would have dreamt of wanting it. And I really do feel like 'we.'"

"Because the longing for attention and appreciation for your work is universal. I don't care whatever job you do, you hope someone appreciates you," she added, according to People.
