I wouldn't go so far as to call [winning an Oscar] a curse, but it's definitely a tough cross to bear. It's a really tough burden to carry, and it informs every choice they make in the future. |
Oftentimes, people sort of eke by and win a supporting actor or actress award and it's kind of unusual. It's a moment for them in their career and not necessarily a sign of many great years of work that have passed or are to come. |
Once an actor wins an award, they want to show off what they can do and the diversity of their talent. That often gets them into trouble and they go a little too far afield. And no matter how great an actor is at picking roles, there's always going to be a bad movie. |
