Oscar's Curse: 10 actresses who divorced after receiving the award

Statistics - an important indicator, which is guided by many. Observations showed that many actresses after receiving an Oscar award were divorced from their husbands. Let's see who got into this sad list.

Among the Hollywood stars, a common feature is that if an actress receives one of the most important awards in the film industry in the nominations "Best Actress" and "Best Supporting Actress", then her personal life will be a failure, especially if her partner is also from the cinema. Of course, to believe it or not - everyone's business, but the list of women who, after receiving Oscars divorced, is constantly replenished.

1. Kate Winslet

In 2003, the actress went under the aisle with British director Sam Mendes, who in 5 years was shooting the film "The Road of Change", where his wife and handsome Leonardo DiCaprio played. Kate's husband confessed that the work on the picture exhausted him (this confirms that it is better for the husband and wife not to work together). In 2009, Winslet received an Oscar for playing in the movie "Reader" and a couple of years later the couple broke up. The reasons for the separation of former spouses do not apply.

2. Gwyneth Paltrow

In the list of beloved actresses were many Hollywood actors, including Ben Affleck. Relations with them were beautiful, but they could not stand the test of the great Oscar. In 1999, Gwyneth won a prize for the game in the movie "Shakespeare in Love," and after a short time the couple broke up. The exact cause of the separation is still unknown.

3. Hilary Swank

In 1997, the actress married, her chosen one was a little-known actor Chad Lowe and apparently their relationship was strong, as they survived the test of the first Oscar Hillary, which she received in 2000 for her role in the film "Guys Do not Cry." The second award in 2005 for the picture "Baby million" was a stumbling block, as Swank's fees increased significantly, but Chad's career did not change, and he received an offer only for filming in TV shows. Many noticed that in both of her speeches on the stage Hilary did not mention her husband. Maybe it offended him? The couple divorced in 2007.

4. Sandra Bullock

In 2005, the actress went under the aisle with TV presenter and motorcycle manufacturer Jesse James. Idyll in a relationship was destroyed after Sandra received in 2010 a well-deserved Oscar for her role in the film "The Invisible Side". Posing with the statuette, Bullock did not suspect that her husband had been cheating on her for a year already. This was the reason for parting.

5. Kim Basinger

While working on the movie "The habit of getting married", the actress began a relationship with Alec Baldwin, who in 1993 led to the wedding. Four years later, she excellently played a prostitute in the film "The Secrets of Los Angeles", which was noted by the film academy Oscar. Two years later the couple broke up. What happened is unknown.

6. Reese Witherspoon

Many called the couple Reese and Ryan Philippe one of the most beautiful in Hollywood. They were together filmed in the cinema, in 1999 married, and they had a daughter, and then a son. Everything was fine, until the career of the actress went up the hill, and she did not receive the long-awaited Oscar in 2006 for her role in the film "Break the Line". Success was pressing on the spouse, who could not get out of the role of the "cute boy". As a result, he was convicted of treason, and Reese filed for divorce.

7. Angelina Jolie

Hollywood beauty in 1999 during filming in the movie "Managing Flight" met with Billy Bob Thornton, and the relationship led to the wedding. The marriage of an eccentric couple ended after three years, after Jolie received in 2000 an Oscar for a supporting role.

8. Halle Berry

The actress became the first black woman who was awarded such a significant prize as Oscar. During her speech, she could not hold back her tears, and in this situation she was supported by her husband - little-known musician Eric Bene. In 2005, the marriage was stopped, and Holly frankly admitted that all this time she was unhappy, because her ex-husband suffered from sexual addiction, and therefore changed it at every turn. In addition, she stated that after receiving the golden statuette, Eric just went crazy with jealousy to the success of the wife.

9. Julia Roberts

Now the actress is in a happy marriage, but before that she had high-profile romances. At the ceremony in 2001, Julia came with her boyfriend Benjamin Bratt, with whom she had already been in a relationship for three years. From the side it seemed that the man was happy for his soul mate, but three months had passed and the couple diverged. The reason is simple - Benjamin tired of wearing the status of "Mr. Roberts". There is an opinion that Julia's close friendship with George Clooney influenced the parting.

10. Helen Hunt

This story is a bit different from the others, because in 1998 the actress received a prize for her role in the movie "It Happens Better" and in 1999 she did not divorce, but, on the contrary, married actor Hank Azaria. Unfortunately, the relationship did not last for a year. In a close environment there are rumors that the man could not cope with the burden of the glory of the wife.
