For the actor, the highest recognition is the victory in the Oscar nomination. In this case, the statuette is not a guarantee of grandiose success. You can see this by learning the stories of some of the stars.
There are several vivid examples of how Oscar spoiled the actor's fate. Let's see, for whom the golden statuette has become a kind of black mark.
1. Halle Berry
Many know this actress and follow her career. For her acting talent, she received a long-awaited recognition in 2002 and Oscar for her role in the drama "Monster Ball". Since that time in her life came a black streak. She was invited to the cinema, but again she could not express herself clearly. In 2004, Holly was even awarded for failure in the film "Cat Woman", after receiving the "Golden Raspberry". It was not possible to rehabilitate Berry.
2. Cher
The singer showed herself as an excellent actress, starring with Nicolas Cage in the romantic film "In the Power of the Moon." Her Oscar was a surprise, but it was deserved. Many were confident that her career would go uphill, but the forecasts were not justified. The following works were not successful, so Cher concentrated on singing.
3. Gwyneth Paltrow
The magnificent actress in the melodrama "Shakespeare in Love" was impossible to not appreciate, so in 1999 she received an Oscar. It is unclear for what reasons, but since then her career prospects have collapsed. She admitted that the next morning after receiving the prize, she became an actress, whom nobody wanted to see in the cinema. There is another version of this turn of events, some people who worked with Gwyneth assure that she does not get a job in good films because of her unbearable nature. Paltrow plays either secondary characters, or in a movie that does not become a box office.
4. Mercedes Wheel
Now few people remember what an actress is famous for and in general her name is known to individuals, but in 1992 she shone on stage, receiving her Oscar for the role of the second plan in the film "The Fisher King." After that, she was waiting for failure after the failure, as a result, it has not been visible for many years on the blue screens.
5. Roberto Benigni
In the history of cinema, the tragicomedy "Life is Beautiful" became significant, and for the best man's role in this tape Roberto received the award. From that time he took part only in seven paintings and even managed to get an anti-prize. Apparently, the actor decided that it was time to finish with his career, since in recent years he has never been removed anywhere.
6. Marley Matlin
Few people manage to prove themselves the first time, but Marley succeeded. For an excellent role in her first film, the drama "The Children of Silence", she won a prize. Unfortunately, in the situation with this actress, it was immediately clear that she would not have a great career. The thing is that she is devoid of hearing, so she practically had no roles.
7. Jessica Lang
Famous in Hollywood actress became in the early 80's, when she won a major role in the film "King Kong", which, incidentally, claimed Meryl Streep. On account of Jessica, two Oscars: the first she received in 1983 for a secondary role in the movie "Tootsie", and the second - in 1995 for the role in "Blue Sky", as the best actress. Since that time, Lang has not had a serious role, but she still starred in TV shows and TV films.
8. Tim Robbins
The movie's prospects for the actor were excellent, as he won bright roles in such films as "Shawshank Escape" and "Mission to Mars." In 2004, critics noted his play in the film "The Mysterious River", for which he received the treasured statuette. In the future, other good roles, apart from worthy work in 2005 in the film "War of the Worlds," Robbins did not have.
9. Forest Whitaker
Unbeaten actor in the role of the despotic president of Uganda in the film "The Last King of Scotland" was noted not only by colleagues on the set, but also by film experts, so in 2007 he deservedly received his Oscar. For unknown reasons, after this Forest was not seen in the main role in the famous films for 10 years. In 2017 four screens with his participation appeared on the screens. Maybe it's a chance to make yourself known again?
10. René Zellweger
One of the most significant works in the actor's piggy bank Renee - "Diary of Bridget Jones." She agreed to different roles to prove her diversity, and in 2005 her efforts were evaluated. Renee won the award for her role in the film Cold Mountain. After this, in addition to the second part of the film about Bridget, the actress did not get good offers. This was the reason that she fell into a deep depression and six years did not appear anywhere. The ray of hope for Zellweger was the third part of the story about Bridget Jones.
11. The World of Sorvino
Woody Allen's films are always visible to the public and critics, so many actors who are shooting with him are recognized. In 1995, for the role of the second plan in the film "Great Aphrodite" Oscar took Mira. After that, the girl began to receive proposals for the main roles, but the scenarios were mediocre. After several unsuccessful roles, she disappeared from the screens at all. Now Sorvino is convenient to blame for the failure of producer Harvey Weinstein.
12. Adrian Brody
For the role in the film about the Second World War "Pianist" in 2002, the actor received a long-awaited statuette. Critics and experts called this film genius and recognized Adrian as the best actor. It seems that as soon as he took Oscar in his hands, his acting life went downhill, since he had not received a single offer to shoot in the box office.
13. Cube Gooding (Jr.)
The actor was very popular and often acted in the 90s and early 2000s. In 1996, he received an Oscar for a supporting role in the film "Jerry Maguire." Then the popularity of Kueb began to decrease, and he did not receive any more good offers. Now he is in the series, it's good for him.
14. Kim Basinger
Sex symbol of the 90's became popular due to its role in the erotic drama "9 ½ weeks". Its Oscar Kim received for the role of a prostitute in the film "Los Angeles Secrets". Her subsequent work was not appreciated by viewers or critics. Apparently, therefore, she was no longer offered the main roles. From the latter you can recall Kim in the film "The fifty shades are darker."
