“Well, I feel like I’m not carrying a secret within me that I could be capable of doing something artistic,” said Anderson when asked in a recent interview about all the attention she has been getting surrounding the film.
Her performance and the awards nominations have led to Anderson getting more respect and interest in Hollywood.
“Yes, I’m getting lots of scripts. I’m reading lots of scripts. I’m meeting with a lot of great directors,” said Anderson during one of the live interviews with Postmedia at Fifth Avenue Cinemas.
While a revived and reinvented career is big news for Anderson, fans reportedly are not happy that the Academy Awards did not show the Ladysmith native, who became a global sex symbol in the ’90s thanks to Baywatch and numerous Playboy pictorials, love.
As reported in The Daily Mail, fans of Anderson took to X and expressed anger.
“She is an amazing actress, why on earth was she left off the list?” said a fan.
Another fan added: “Pamela was done wrong by the Academy Awards, not fair.”
Emilia Pérez is the top nominee of the upcoming awards with 13 total, making the musical the most-nominated non — English language film in Oscars history. Next in line this year are Wicked and The Brutalist with 10 nominations each.
Conan O’Brien will host the Oscars ceremony, which will air live from the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood on March 2 at 4 p.m. on ABC and Hulu.
