Is the Oscar a Curse to Actresses?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. jonjee0203 (4680) 2 years ago

Hilary Swank, Halle Berry, Reese Witherspoon and Julia Roberts split with their husbands or partners soon after being awarded the coveted gold statuette. Sandra Bullock also got into marital issues with her husband.

Is there a curse on those who get this coveted award?

Some think so while others beg to differ.

Bonnie Fuller, editor-in-chief of celebrity news website HollywoodLife.com opines that when women are strong and successful and married or involved with men who maybe feel threatened or insecure, having such public recognition can really destabilize the relationship.

She says, “A lot of guys cannot handle a strong, successful woman, and the Oscar has to be one of ultimate accolades one can receive.”

So what is your opinion on this? Is the curse to be believed?

I think you answered your question. :) A curse cannot be explained. But here, men's insecurity is what breaks the relationship. So they are already there in a relationship wherein the man wants all the adulation, which is a wrong type of relationship. If it breaks, may be they are better off! They can then look for a man who chan handle it, rather than smile and act in front of everybody, and suffer at home.

Sorry - typo - can

And I forgot to add, such insecurity can happen in any profession! So it is the egos, rather than curse. :)

Yes,breakups are such sad occurrences. Is it a disease of the one who lost the one upmanship fight? What happen to love that brought them together? Silly ego-trippers must learn how to live with each others' success.

If relationship is about one upmanship, then it is going to break anyway, isn't it? Better now than later. At least, the person has a chance to seek a more mature partner.

It has nothing to do with the awards but what earns them those awards seems to the reason. This happens not just with celebrities but with ordinary couples where the woman rules the roost with her higher pay, her high confidence level, her other capabilities which gives the man in her life a complex resulting in marital discord.

Yes, the Oscar may be a red herring. It can happen in nay profession and not confined to moviedom. It is really sad that people of such intellectual capability show so much weakness.

I think there are alot of men who have big egos and can't handle being married to a successful women. However there is Meryl Streep who has won many Oscars and she doesn't seem to have marriage problems. It all depends on how strong a man is and can handle a talented female. I guess these guys just can't cut it and found it easier to screw up which then leads to divorce. I feel so bad for Sandra because she did not deserve this at all.

Yes, there will always be exceptions. Some people are made of sterner stuff. They are ego busters from inside out. Success is their breakfast. So they survive better with their spouses and celebrate it as a family success.

nope. i think its not a curse but mans ability to feel insecure of his woman partner. its just a statue that signifies their partners great achievement in their career which is acting but some men cannot handle being over shun by their wives or female counterpart.

but lets give the men the benefit of the doubt. fame couldn't be the reason alone why their leaving their wives. maybe there's a different reason for what happened.
