After two postponements because of the Los Angeles wildfires, the Academy Awards’ organizers, on Thursday, January 23rd, finally released the official nomination list for its prized event. Along with the excitement and happiness, however, the nomination list also caused controversy because several well-known performers, including Pamela Anderson, were absent from the list.
This decision was met with outrage from her loyal fans, believing that the actress’s outstanding performance in her latest movie, The Last Showgirl, ought to be considered for an award. However, in response to the events, Anderson, in a new interview recently, discussed her feelings over the Oscar snub, and her calm and positive comments were jaw-dropping.
Pamela Anderson remains positive despite Oscar snub
In a discussion with Elle.com, Anderson explained that she was not upset about not receiving an Oscar nomination. The 57-year-old claimed that she was content with her acting profession since she felt that the real reward for her enthusiasm was “doing the work.”
The actress acknowledged that while winning awards is important to actors because it makes them feel recognized, actors should prioritize their creative process more and try not to get caught up in the glamour of the awards so that they do not forget what it really means to be an entertainer.
Pamela Anderson expresses gratitude for getting recognized for her work as an actor
Anderson further expressed gratitude for her SAG nomination, noting that it holds significant meaning for her, as it represents a nod of approval from her peers within the entertainment industry.
During an appearance on Sirius XM’s Andy Cohen Live, she revealed that her latest film has done her a lot of good, especially in the wake of her painful experience with the Hulu series Pam & Tommy, which chronicled her tumultuous relationship with her ex-husband Tommy Lee. She explained her profound joy at finally receiving recognition for her work rather than her past, shifting the focus away from her personal life and onto her professional accomplishments.
