Jamie Lee Curtis
Hollywood actress Jamie Lee Curtis has tested positive for coronavirus and she will reportedly not be attending the 2023 Critics Choice Awards on January 15. She's nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in 'Everything Everywhere All at Once'. The 64-year-old was nominated for a Golden Globe in the same category but she lost it to Angela Bassett.
Sharing a health update on Instagram along with a photo of her positive test results,the actress wrote,"F**k COVID! Sadly, this head cheerleader is not going to be at all the weekend festivities cheering on her friends and colleagues. Life on life's terms."
"I'm glad that there are all these home tests available so that I didn't go to the @americanfilminstitute lunch and spread my germs. I was SO looking forward to going to the @bafta tea and the @criticschoice awards as a nominee and member of a motley crew," Jamie continued.
Near the end of the post, she said that she is so proud of her co-stars and she would be cheering for them from home.
"I'm so proud of these people, and I look forward to cheering them on through my TV set," she said. "Stay safe out there people."
