University researchers prove, statistically speaking, if you’re married and win Best Actress at the Oscars, in all likelihood you’ll get divorced – just ask SANDRA BULLOCK, HILARY SWANK, KATE WINSLET and others!
A study of Best Actress winners has revealed that they were more likely to end up divorced than others who had been nomm’ed but failed to bring home the gold.
University of Toronto in Canada researchers found that female winners of the top acting award have a 63 per cent chance of having a shorter marriage than non winners.
Kate Winslet, Sandra Bullock and Hilary Swank are all most recent winners who saw their careers hit new heights but their personal lives go down the dumpster.
The in-depth study of the ‘Oscar’s curse’ found that 265 married women who have been nominated for Best Actress from 1936 to the present, 159 of them got divorced – a staggering 60 per cent.
They also compared the divorce rate of women who were nominated for Best Actress but didn’t win and discovered the winners were 1.68 times more likely to the divorce court.
But, a study of Best Actor winners found that there was virtually no change to their marital status – a fact that will warm Colin Firth‘s stuttering heart as he is the odds on fave to win for The King’s Speech.
