Oscar Curse Strikes Kate You win some, you loose some. One year after winning an Academy Award for her role in The Reader, Kate Winslet is the latest actress to succumb to the curse of Oscar after separating from her husband Sam Mendez. The curse is not a new thing, it’s been striking Hollywood’s leading ladies for years. 19 months after Reese Witherspoon won for Walk the Line she split from hubby Ryan Phillippe. Hillary Swank won her first Academy Award for Boys Don't Cry and her marriage survived despite forgetting to mention her husband Chad Low during the acceptance speech. But one year after winning for Million Dollar Baby, the couple went their separate ways. Halle Berry split from cheating husband Eric Benet one year after winning for Monster’s Ball but we think the real curse was her follow up movie, the box office bomb Cat Woman. While dating Ben Affleck, Gwyneth Paltrow won the award for her work in Shakespeare in Love but after referring to him on stage as my friend, the couple split two months later. And Benjamin Brat’s career has never recovered from when he was dumped by Julia Roberts just three months after she won for Erin Brockovich. Somewhere, Sandra Bullock and Jesse James are understandably nervous.
