When the Academy Award nominations were announced on Thursday morning, many were disappointed that Pamela Anderson was not among the names read, but the star actress of new film “The Last Showgirl” wasn’t one of them.

The "Baywatch" actor has earned the best reviews of her career for her performance in the film, which co-stars Jamie Lee Curtis.

Pamela Anderson has reacted to being passed over for a best actress nomination for "The Last Showgirl" at the 2025 Oscars.

Along the way, critics have raved about Anderson's turn as Shelly, a Las Vegas showgirl whose world is rocked when her longtime revue shutters. After spending 30 years in feathers and sequins on that stage, she's unsure what comes next.

Daniel Craig gave one of his best performances as an American expat in Mexico in the torrid May-December romance in “Queer,” but it hasn’t been resonating with awards voters. The Oscar snub is the final piece in a puzzle that just never came together.
