10 Actors Who Suffered The Most After Winning An Oscar

7. Mira Sorvino

Back in the 1990s, Mira Sorvino was a hot talent, having risen to fame as the star of Woody Allen's Mighty Aphrodite, playing prostitute Linda Ash in a charming performance that won her the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.

You'd think that would be a springboard for her to go onto great things, particularly as she was so young when she won, but it's pretty remarkable how different Sorvino's career went from what you might have expected at the time.

Impressively, since then, she's never wanted for work, but there's only two movies in her entire catalogue - Mimic and Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion - that feel in any way familiar. And they even came after Tales Of Erotica, which is far more the benchmark for what else came.

She's co-starred in TV shows like Modern Family, but her film stuff has been a mix of no-name movies you won't have heard of (Waterlily Jaguar, anyone), made-for-TV Christmas titles and car crashes like Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life.
