“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!” Curtis continued.
“And my mother and my father were both nominated for Oscars in different categories,” theHalloweenstar added, shouting out her parentsJanet LeighandTony Curtis.
“I just won an Oscar,” she said, bowing for the crowd as she left the stage.
Last month, Curtis told PEOPLE that sheplanned on bringing special itemswith her to the awards show to give out to her fellow nominees, win or lose.
“I often like to bring all of the nominees in my category a gold shiny ball, which I hand out to everybody, so that [if] you lose — ‘cause one out of five is gonna win, four out of five are gonna go home empty-handed — you’re not going home empty-handed,” she said.
“So I have a bag filled with gold round things for all of my people and all of my friends who are nominated and I hadn’t thought about myself, and now I have. What a beautiful thing to remind me to bring. And I will,” she added.
