Pamela Anderson reacts to Oscars snub for ‘The Last Showgirl’ in conversation with Martha Stewart

Pamela Anderson did not receive an Academy Award nomination for her star turn in “The Last Showgirl,” and she’s responding with grace.

While recalling her career with Martha Stewart in an interview for Elle, Anderson celebrated the accolades she has received so far, including a Golden Globe nomination for best performance by a female actor in a drama and a SAG Award nod.

“No nomination for the Oscar, but I couldn’t even imagine that,” Anderson said. “I did get a SAG nomination, which is really exciting and… all of this is just unexpected and exciting.

“I always say the win is in the work. I got to do something I really love, and I needed to do that for my soul,” Anderson added.

In “The Last Showgirl,” the “Baywatch” star plays an aging entertainer who worries about her future once she learns her French-style revue is closing after three decades.

In addition to Anderson, the film stars many notable actors, including Brenda Song, Billie Lourd and Jamie Lee Curtis, whom Anderson said she had “fun” making the film with.

“(Curtis is) so much fun. Such a champion for women, too. She took me by the shoulders and said, ‘I did this movie for you.’ I thought, ‘That’s a woman’s woman,'” she said. “She’s been there, she’s reinvented herself time and again, and I think she saw that in me — that I wanted to do the same thing — and (she) really supported me, which was incredible. I’m just so happy I got to do this.”

Like several of her recent red carpet appearances, Anderson also went makeup-free throughout the film to portray the realness of her character.

Stewart, who said she saw the film, applauded Anderson for the decision.

“It wasn’t my intention when I went makeup-free for anyone to say anything. I didn’t think anyone would notice,” Anderson said.

“It became a sensation, my dear,” Stewart responded.
