Jamie Lee Curtis has followed up an Academy Award win with her first Emmy Award. At the Creative Arts Emmy Awards on Sunday, Curtis nabbed a win for her guest starring role in the hit series The Bear.

Per Deadline, Curtis won the Emmy for Guest Actress in a Comedy Series. It's the first Emmy win for Curtis, though she was previously nominated once for an Emmy in 1998 for her lead role in the miniseries Nicholas' Gift. To pick up her win for appearing in the second season of The Bear, Curtis overcame fellow nominees Olivia Colman (The Bear), Kaitlin Olson (Hacks), Da'Vine Joy Randolph (Only Murders in the Building), Maya Rudolph (Saturday Night Live), and Kristen Wiig (Saturday Night Live).

“I’ve been an actor since I was 19,” Curtis said of the current state of her career while at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards. “I’m 65. I sold yogurt that makes you sh*t for seven years. I just never thought in my life that I would get to do work at this level of depth and complexity. It’s just been the thrill of my creative life these last couple of years.”

Will Jamie Lee Curtis Go for EGOT Status?

When Curtis, who referred to herself as the "luckiest girl in the world," awas asked if she'd next be aiming for Grammy and Tony Awards to achieve EGOT status, Curtis responded, “I can’t sing at all, and I’ve never been on stage. Actually, I’ve never done a play and so I can’t imagine. I don’t stay up that late.”

“But you know what? I never thought any of this was going to be possible in my life at all," Curtis continued, not shutting down the possibility entirely. "So the fact that this has happened, I’m something of a late bloomer. I’m totally a big late bloomer. I’ve learned a lot late in my life, and I’m also very patient.”

The Halloween star went on to add, "I think we’re all underestimated. And as actors, you just hustle for a job — any job. Look at my career. I’ve done a lot of weird stuff because I just love the process. This is an industry full of rejection. You are rejected every day — every day — when you’re an actor.”

Curtis was one of several big names to appear as a guest star in Season 2 of The Bear. Also included was Jon Bernthal, who similarly won his first Emmy for his guest role in the show. Other celebrities to pop up in the pair's star-studded episode include John Mulaney, Bob Odenkirk, and Sarah Paulson. At the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, the show also picked up wins for Picture Editing for a Single-Camera Comedy Series and Casting for a Comedy Series.

The Bear is streaming on Hulu.
