Sandra Bullock was noted as being one of the more recent actresses affected by an "Oscar Curse" that has become common knowledge in Hollywood.

The curse consists of a relationship that falls apart after the actress wins an Oscar in the "Best Actress" category. Previous examples include Halley Berry (who divorced with Husband Eric Benet after winning an Oscar for her performance in Monster's Ball ), Reese Witherspoon (divorce with Husband, actor, Ryan Phillipe), Hilary Swank (divorce with Husband after winning for her role in Million Dollar Baby ) and the very famous...Julia Roberts.

This year, Kate Winslet also announced that she and her husband separated. Winslet won the best actress Oscar last year for her role in The Reader.

Here are a few questions that I am wondering based on this news, talks about whether an Oscar curse even exists and these Best Actress relationship statistics:

1. If there is an Oscar "Best Actress" curse, are their any couples who can get pass or avoid it?

2. If there is an Oscar "Best Actress" curse, is it better to not win and keep your marriage OR is it better to win and just get another husband.

3. If there is an Oscar "Best Actress" curse, is it better to just be single and wait until you are nominated and win before you date or marry anyone?

4. If there is an Oscar "Best Actress" curse, why doesn't a "Best Actor" curse exist for the leading men as well?

What are YOUR thoughts regarding the Hollywood curse?
Does anyone have answers to these questions or more insight on this matter?

Side note: I know I've been slacking off over here on this blog so I'm adding some new (or fairly new) material this week to close out Memorial Day 2010 in a good way. I don't know if all movie fans know about this Oscars curse in Hollywood. Actually, I don't know if any filmmakers are familiar with it either for that matter but I previously published this piece on Redgage regarding the curse, just as news about Sandra Bullock and Jesse James was starting to gain traction in the media. I posted it here since responses were minimal on there.
