Pamela Anderson's recent performance in Gia Coppola’s "The Last Showgirl" has received widespread acclaim, earning her nominations for the Golden Globes, Gotham Awards, and Screen Actors Guild Awards. However, this morning's Oscar nominations did not include Anderson or the film. Despite this, Anderson remained optimistic and stated that she never expected to be recognized by the Academy.
In an interview with ELLE.com, Anderson expressed her satisfaction with the work itself, emphasizing that the process of creating and performing is its own reward. She was particularly grateful for the SAG nomination, as it is voted on by her peers in the industry.
"The Last Showgirl" tells the story of Shelley, a Las Vegas showgirl facing the end of her long-running act and considering her next steps. The film received critical acclaim after premiering at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival, with many praising Anderson's performance as her career-best. This marks a significant comeback for Anderson, who gained fame in the '90s but was often dismissed as a sex symbol rather than a serious actress.
