What do Sandra Bullock, Reese Witherspoon and Kate Winslet all have in common? They have all fallen victim to the Oscars love curse.
Although winning an Oscar is usually the highlight of any actresses’ career, these days it seems taking home the little golden statue might not be the best thing for long-lasting pairings.
Actresses recently bitten by the curse include Sandra Bullock, who only three weeks ago won Best Actress for The Blind Side and Kate Winslet, won best actress for The Reader at last year’s Oscars.
And actresses such as Reese Witherspoon – who won Best Actress for Walk the Line, Hilary Swank – who won Oscars for Million Dollar Baby and for Boy’s Don’t Cry, and Charlize Theron – who won for Monster, eventually all ended the relationships they were in at the time of winning the Oscar.
