“I know it looks like I’m standing up here by myself but I am not, I am hundreds of people. I’m hundreds of people. Where are the Daniels?” she asked in her emotional acceptance speech, starting to list all the people who helped her.

Curtis' achievement comes after she picked up the SAG Award for best supporting actress a month ago, following a host of other nominations for her hot dog-fingered performance, such as the Golden Globe, BAFTA, and Independent Spirit Award.
The beloved actress was also nominated for a People's Choice award for reprising her role as Laurie Strode in Halloween Ends," the latest - and allegedly final - chapter in the "Halloween" franchise, which started in 1978 and turned Curtis into one of the greatest scream queens.
