Top 10 histories from the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress

For many performers, winning an Oscar means the direct leap to stardom, a recognition that should mark a before and after in their lives. And while it is what happens in most cases, there is an urban legend that relates the statuette for best supporting actress with an eternal jinx. Known as the "Oscar Jinx", this curse has fallen on several performers who have seen their careers plummeted after winning the Oscar in that category.


10. Octavia Spencer for The Help (2011): Finally we Octavia Spencer, the last actress to join the list of performers for the secondary damned Oscar. After working in endless series like The X-Files, ER and CSI, among others, she won the statuette in 2012 for her poignant and playful performance in The Help. Despite the success of the film, Spencer tried to stay in the world of cinema with supporting roles in films like Fruitvale Station and Snowpiercer, but eventually had to return to his television roots.

9. Melissa Leo for The Fighter (2010): A Melissa Leo happens just like Marisa Tomei. A talented actress who does not enjoy the recognition it deserves. After more than thirty years in the industry, he won the Oscar for best supporting actress for her wonderful interpretation of suffering mother and calculator on The Fighter (2010). But the curse is also primed with it despite having participated in acclaimed productions such as Mildred Pierce or prisoners ... but always as secondary.

8. Anna Paquin for The Piano (1993): He was only 11 when she made her film debut winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for The Piano. And although his magnificent performance should have served to gain a foothold in the industry, the fact is that we did not hear about it until seven years later when he gave life to Rogue in X-Men. Over the years I continue to work in the shadow of other actors in supporting roles until HBO gave him a chance in television as the star of True Blood. And it is that even Bryan Singer eliminated its cameo in X-Men: Days of Future Past the final footage angering fans

7. Marisa Tomei for My Cousin Vinny (1992): Marisa Tomei is a clear example of a talented actress repressed. A performer who proved himself to be a novice in the world of cinema when he won the Oscar for My Cousin Vinny. But despite its success, this award remains of the most criticized in the history of the Oscars because many critics say did not deserve it (it was nominated with other great performances of Vanessa Redgrave, Judy Davis and Miranda Richardson). Unlike other actors who are opening the doors of success after winning an Oscar, Tomei was quickly relegated to supporting roles settling despite picking up two Oscar nominations.

However, Alba did not like the idea of appearing on the cover of the magazine, so Playboy used a publicity photo from the film Into the Blue in which the actress appears in a bikini.

The actress did not like the surprise. He published a statement in which he revealed that Playboy "violated my personal rights" and "has blatantly misled the public" into thinking that she had consented to appear on the cover.

The actress was so angry that he filed a lawsuit against Playboy alleging that the publication had "seriously damaged" reputation. Hefner relaxed somewhat delicate situation donating money to two charities, Keep A Child Alive and Until There's A Cure .

In October 1971, Darine Stern, became the first African American woman on the cover of the magazine, which was considered controversial by some, even though it had been eight years since Martin Luther King Jr. offered his speech "I have a dream" which called for an end to racism in America.

A new controversy erupted in 2012 when the news that Bollywood star, Sherlyn Chopra, became the first Indian woman to appear on the cover of the magazine and would undress in their inside pages are known. The news was not well accepted in India, where the publication is prohibited due to strict national standards of decency issues.

Soon after, the feminist comics fans were up in arms because of the cover of the February 2008 in which she appeared Tiffany Fallon painted like Wonder Woman. Many thought that picture of heroin would damage its image in young women.

Interview with Jimmy Carter

Playboy has also been embroiled in controversies related to politics. In 1976, then-candidate for president of the United States, Jimmy Carter, granted an interview to the magazine by freelance journalist Robert Scheer. It confessed that he had "looked at many women with lust" and had "been unfaithful many times in my heart."

However, the honest review of Carter was not well received among American voters.
