After Jamie Lee Curtis won her first Oscar, she contacted her dog walker before anyone else. During an emotional interview on "Today," the 64-year-old actress explained the reason why she reached out to her dog walker first. "I didn’t call anybody, you’re going to laugh… I didn’t call because I find it rude to be on your phone in the award ceremony, I find it rude to be on your phone anywhere," Curtis noted during her appearance. "What I did is, I realized since we won, I wasn’t going to be home right away… I was literally texting my friend, who helps me walk Runi when I’m not around, to find out if she could come back that night to let Runi out for an hour because I was worried Runi would be home alone," she explained, referring to her terrier-poodle dog.

Curtis took home her first Oscar for best supporting actress for her role as Deirdre Beaubeirdre in "Everything Everywhere All at Once." The "Scream" actress watched her Academy Awards acceptance speech for the first time on "Today," and wiped away tears during the emotional interview.

She continued to show off her prized Oscar trophy and said, in support of her daughter Ruby, the award is identified as a "they/them." Curtis and her husband Christopher Guest share two daughters, Ruby and Annie.

Ruby came out as trans in 2020 and married her partner Kynthia in May 2022.  "In my life, I never thought in a million years, that I would have these couple days, and I'm very, very moved by the whole thing," Curtis told the outlet.
