Jamie Lee Curtis

Winner!
Jamie Lee Curtis
Yep, I think the today's byline says it all, don't you? While she did not get nominated for her top notch performance as a PTSD survivor in Halloween, 2018 was indeed Jamie Lee Curtis' year.

Without her the forty year follow-up to the original Halloween would have been nothing. She was the key reason it was a success, that and good film making by David Gordon Green.

I know first hand that as many Halloween fans attended, there were a lot of people I know who said they were compelled to see it simply because Jamie Lee was in it. Oh, and many of these individuals had not seen the original. Really it wasn't necessary to enjoy this roller coaster which really could stand on it's own two feet without having viewed the 1978 classic.

The film was a huge hit and proved women of a certain age, over fifty can be a box office draw. In fact the biggest feather in Curtis' cap is that she had the biggest opening weekend at the box office starring a female lead over the magic number.

While she is simply presenting at this weekends Golden Globes, Jamie Lee is one of the true winners of 2018, acting award (which she does deserve IMHO) or not, Jamie Lee came, saw, conquered and won!
