How Pamela Anderson Reacted to Her Oscars Snub
Pamela Anderson almost had it. Following her buzzworthy performance in Gia Coppola’s The Last Showgirl, she garnered lead actress nominations for the Golden Globes, Gotham Awards, and Screen Actors Guild Awards—but not for the Oscars. When the Academy Award nominations were announced this morning, her name was notably missing from the list, and so were The Last Showgirl and Coppola altogether.
Anderson, however, wasn’t holding her breath for a nod. “Oh my gosh, it’s not something I ever expected. Doing the work is the win,” she tells ELLE.com hours after the announcement. “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.”
She adds, “I couldn’t imagine [it] anyway. I’m happy for the SAG nomination, that’s [voted on by] your peers. That’s really cool. This has been a long road promoting this film.”
In the movie, Anderson stars as Shelley, a Las Vegas showgirl who debates her next move when her long-running act must come to a close. The film was met with critical praise following its premiere at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival, with many calling it a career-best performance for the former Baywatch and Barb Wire star. It’s a satisfying comeback for Anderson, now 57, who rose to fame in the ’90s after being featured in Playboy but was written off as a sex symbol and not taken seriously as an actress. Anderson herself said that the awards buzz felt like “the best payback,” especially after her life and former relationship with Tommy Lee were portrayed in a “hurtful” way in Hulu’s Pam & Tommy series in 2022. “It happened, and now I’m here, and this is the best payback,” she told Andy Cohen in a Sirius XM interview. “I’m being seen and recognized for my work and not these tawdry moments.”
The Last Showgirl is now playing in theaters.
Pamela Anderson, known for her roles in Baywatch and Barb Wire, was noticeably absent from this year’s Oscars nominations. Despite her critically acclaimed performance in her latest film, many were shocked to see her snubbed from the list of nominees.
In a recent interview, Anderson shared her reaction to the Oscars snub, stating that while she was disappointed, she remains grateful for the recognition she has received throughout her career. She expressed her gratitude to her fans and supporters, and emphasized that awards and nominations do not define her worth as an actress.
Anderson also took the opportunity to congratulate her fellow nominees and expressed her excitement to continue pursuing her passion for acting. She remains optimistic about the future and looks forward to challenging herself with new projects in the coming year.
While Anderson may have been snubbed by the Oscars this year, her grace and humility in the face of disappointment serve as a reminder of her resilience and dedication to her craft. As she continues to captivate audiences with her talent, it is clear that Pamela Anderson is a true star in her own right, with or without the recognition of award shows.
