“I am hundreds of people,” she said, thanking her co-stars, including Ke Huy Quan, who won an Oscar of his own right before she did. “[To] the entire group of artists who made this movie, we just won an Oscar.”
Curtis, who launched her career with the Halloween franchise, also dedicated her win to “all of the people who have supported all of the genre movies I have made.”

As she wrapped up her speech, Curtis became emotional, exclaiming: “I just won an Oscar!”
