Pamela Anderson Reflects on Oscar Snub for 'The Last Showgirl'

Despite being overlooked by the Academy, Anderson celebrates her critically acclaimed performance and other award nominations.

Pamela Anderson, 57, was not nominated for an Oscar for her role in 'The Last Showgirl,' despite critical acclaim and earlier nominations for the Golden Globes and SAG Awards.
Anderson expressed gratitude for the recognition she has received, emphasizing that 'doing the work is the win' and describing the SAG nomination as particularly meaningful because it is voted on by her peers.
Her performance as Shelly, a Las Vegas showgirl facing an uncertain future after her revue shuts down, has been widely praised as a career-defining achievement.
The film, directed by Gia Coppola and co-starring Jamie Lee Curtis, has been described as a major turning point for Anderson, who has long been typecast based on her 'Baywatch' persona.
Anderson has framed the film's success as a form of redemption, contrasting it with her past struggles, including the unauthorized Hulu series 'Pam & Tommy,' which she found hurtful.
