BAFTA Nominee Jamie Lee Curtis Skipping Awards in London Because of “Fires and COVID”

Jamie Lee Curtis is skipping a trip to London next month.

Curtis says she’s not going to the BAFTA Awards on February 16th because of “the fires and COVID.”

The Oscar winner is nominated for Best Supporting Actress for “The Last Showgirl.” Her competition includes Ariana Grande for “Wicked,” and Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldana for “Emilia Perez,” as well as Isabella Rossellini for “Conclave,” and Felicity Jones secured a nod for portraying Adrien Brody’s wife in ” The Brutalist.”

Curtis has a good shot at winning, but she’s also up for a SAG award on February 23rd. It’s not so much fun to fly back from LA to London, even on a private plane!
