most oscar winners careers nosedive after winning oscars. Ive always noticed this. Especially women. I think its because they dont get offered as many commercial roles as they seem to hoity plus maybe they suddenly get too snobby about what roles they take.

this list is such crap! most of these people are still making loads of money or have taken a break from acting. Plus you put gwyneth paltrow on the list but continue to talk about how awesome she was on glee. sometimes you post really stupid shit.

This is so lame, Paltorw won an Emmy two years ago, starred in The Avengers (3 highest grossing movie of all time) and the Iron Man films, Marisa Tomei was in Ides of March (critically acclaimed drama) Crazy Stupid Love (box office hit and critically acclaimed comedy) was nominated for an oscar for the wrestler, and has been in numerous other critically acclaimed films. She does great work all the time. Adrien Brody was brilliant in the critically acclaimed and box office hit Midnight in Paris that won many awards and was nominated for best picture, Marcia Gay Harden continues to do great projects was nominated for an emmy a couple of years ago, WON the tony for best actress in a play less than 5 years ago and has many films coming out in the next few years. Olympia Dukakis is always doing great work in the theatre. Kevin Costner was just nominated for an Emmy for his hit miniseries Harfields and McCoy. Most of these actors work regularly and just because YOU don't see their work does not mean they are cursed because they won an oscar and to them and most their careers are pretty amazing still.

SO BASICALLY WHAT YOUR SAYING IS EVERYONE 35 AND UP NO LONGER MAKE WHAT THEY USE TO MAKE… AND I WONDER IF AGE HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT HMMMM….
THE CRAZY PART IS THE ONES MAKING WHAT THEY USE TO MAKE CAN'T EVEN ACT…
KRISTEN STEWART AND ROB P. ARE HORRIBLE ACTORS, THEY ACT LIKE THE KIDS IN HIGH SCHOOL DRAMA CLASS..IF IT WASN'T FOR THE BABY BOOM AND ALL THE LITTLE KIDDIES THEY WOULD BE CONSIDERED A JOKE..

Where's Sandra Bullock? Even you forgot about her! Her cheating Ex gets more press than she does. Too bad that black circumcised baby didn't work out as the attention getter she thought he'd be.
I have an idea for a spectacular screen play that would be an advantage to Adrien Brody and Angelina Jolie. Angie wouldn't even have to cover-up her tats. The roles would place both actors beyond mere Oscar winners and move them into the "legendary" realm. How can I reach Mr. Brody's agent? Too bad Perez is all talk and nothing else. "Queen of All Media" my old granny's britches!

Some of these people have PERSONAL LIVES and don't have as much time for the Hollywood lifestyle anymore. They have kids, other projects, and marriages to work on.

See what he did there? Adrian Brody? Nosedive? Brilliant. I think the problem with Helen Hunt is that Hollywood Execs are looking for someone named Helen "Hent."

Several of the people on this list have been making hit movies still. I mean, Gwyneth Paltrow is a lead in one of the top grossing franchises ever.

A lot of the actors on this list are women who are raising young children.

Unfortunately, there are hardly any decent roles for female actors, especially ones who are over 35.
