Not only has she overcome the post-Oscar jinx twice in just four years, she's also never suffered the indignity of being nominated for a People's Choice Award. All hail the queen!

Alan Arkin

Win: Best Best Supporting Actor / Little Miss Sunshine (2006)

Number of Subsequent Oscar Nominations: 0

Was nominated for an Oscar in 1968, then not again until his winning turn in 2006. If he lives to 110, look for another win!

Number of Subsequent Oscar Nominations: 0

Did win a Teen Choice Award for "Choice Movie Blush Scene" for flailing around in a pig pen in Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. Can pretty much write her own ticket on the county fair circuit now.

Record: 0 for 7 since winning in 2002.

Won Esquire's Best Dressed Man award in 2004. While this honor doesn't come with a gold-plated trophy, it will qualify you for the "preferred rate" on a two-year subscription to Esquire.
