10 Actors Whose Careers Went Downhill After They Won Oscars

7. Timothy Hutton

Timothy Hutton Who? Uh... Timothy Hutton. You know, he was in... he was the kid in Ordinary People. You've seen Ordinary People, right? Hutton won an Oscar for it. He was only 20-years-old when he did that, you know. Hello? Okay, so Timothy Hutton is no longer the household name that he might well have been back in 1980 when he gave what is still a remarkable performance at such a young age, but he's been in a lot of movies since. Hutton just never found his way back into any particularly memorable ones, that's all, so everybody forgot he was alive. A quick glance over his filmography will show you what kinds of flicks he's been in since Ordinary People: let's just say that Kinsey is probably the most famous one, which Hutton co-stared in with Liam Neeson. I don't know whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, but it's probably a bad thing - Kinsey is good, don't get me wrong, but not a lot of people went to see it. Oh, was also in The Last Mimzy. I mean, you didn't see that one, of course, but you remember hearing that it was a movie 'cause of the funny name. So, yeah. Timothy Hutton.
