A. There are many multiple Oscar male and female winners. Not to mention the unmarried at the time. I can think of several right off the top of my head. So 700+ is a very large figure..hmmmmm I'm thinking they double and triple counted some. Let's see did they count Angie and Billy Bob as 1 marriage, 2, or 9?
PLEASE reread what I wrote and what the article said, you are misunderstaning the facts.
they "studied more than 751 Oscar nominees from 1936 to 2010 and found the marriages of Best Actress winners were significantly shorter than those of either their fellow female nominees or their Best Actor counterparts."
I love the way they worded this..wheres the comparison to the male nominees? Why only compaired to Female nominees and Male Winners? Is there something about the male nominees that didn't match what they wanted to show so they left it off? The real story would be how they got a $100,000,000.00 grant to study this. When TMZ woulda done it for free.
Why do you think he cheated? I suspect he felt emasculated in his marriage and needed to boost his masculine ego.
Or, he could just be a dude who has these proclivities regardless of who he's married to/in a relationship with. Time will tell. Although I suppose anything, it can be argued, can make you "feel emasculated" enough to cheat
But I do agree with the other poster that Sandra B. came into the marriage already with the higher fame quotient/earning power...it's not like getting an Academy Award suddenly skyrocketed her status to the point where it eclipsed his and caused a problem that way. And obviously, the behavior that ended the marriage was going on well before she won said award.

Well I'm curious because if they studied all married acting nominees for 74 years you'd have a pool far larger than 700. At least a few thousand. Just counting The four main catagories you'd have 4x5x74=1480-(oddly enough, 751 is just slightly over half hmmm) then eliminate unmarried and double counted, that's maybe 200 total or say 100 for just females... I'll tell you what I think they did, they counted all female nominees and just Male Winners for some reason.hmmmmm
I was the breadwinner in my first marriage and it was an issue and a significant factor in the failure of our marriage. It wasn't an issue for me (at least not at first), because I was doing what I always wanted to do and loving it. But he made it an issue. He was struggling professionally and was jealous of how "easy" success came to me. He liked to tell me that my success was just "luck". The harder I tried to support and encourage him in pursuit his own goals, the more deeply he resented me.
It was a really sucky dynamic and one that I would not be interested in repeating.

Wow... that is awful.
My ex was not the breadwinner, neither was I, but money was never an issue even though I did make more money for the duration of the marriage. BUt I believe we would have end in divorce court regardless of who was making more money.
