‘Everything Everywhere’ awards domination: Jamie Lee Curtis celebrates with creepy hot dog fingers
Jamie Lee Curtis showed off ten weird hot dog fingers celebrating “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” which dominated the Film Independent Spirit Awards Saturday with seven awards.
Curtis, whose IRS inspector character in the out-there sci-fi drama shows off creepily large fingers, donned a fake set of o digits backstage while celebrating the “Everything Everywhere” success with fellow filmmakers.
There was good reason for celebration as Oscar best picture front-runner “Everything Everywhere” continued its quirky, but determined, march to next weekend’s Academy Awards.
The multiverse-jumping movie collected awards for best picture, directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, actors Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan and Stephanie Hsu, screenplay and editing.

Quan, who is also an Oscar contender, won for best supporting role – an award which his co-star Curtis was also nominated for in the gender-neutral Independent Spirit Awards categories.

Stephanie Hsu accepted award barefoot, then put heels back on
Hsu won for best breakthrough performance and tossed off her high heels to dart to the stage. The beaming actress walked across the stage barefoot, then put the daunting heels back on, saying, “I want you to get the whole look.”
“This is my first ever individual award and it feels incredibly appropriate that it’s in this room. I feel so honored,” Hsu added.
