Tomei would focus on smaller films in the late ‘90s as she tried to stay away from major roles, but the accolades still came in for the actress.
In 1998, she appeared in cult comedy Slums of Beverly Hills as Rita and was once again nominated for an award thanks to her performance. This time it was the American Comedy Awards recognizing her talent, nominating her for Funniest Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture. Tomei had established herself as a funny but talented actress, and the ‘00s would be her most successful period.
