Jamie Lee Curtis, a first-time Academy Award nominee, wants to remind everyone that one of the things that separates her from every other nominee in history also plays a role in keeping her a regular person.
Curtis, who received the Maltin Modern Master Award for her role as Deirdre Beaubeirdre in Everything All At Once this past weekend, said she was "the only Oscar nominee who sells yogurt that makes you shit." The actress is, of course, referring to her stint as spokesperson for Activia yogurt, which began in 2009. Dannon claimed that their product could help consumers regulate their digestive system.

Curtis — who is married to Christopher Guest and has two adult daughters — is no stranger to controversy over her part in keeping the nation's bowels in working order. In fact, Dannon believes that doing commercials helped her family stay together. In 2010, the FDA charged the company with fraudulent advertising. The yogurt itself is now focused on the inclusion of vitamin C, D, and zinc, as well as the more general claim that the yogurt "supports your immune system."
