A lot of these famed and season actors may have not been household names up until they bagged the Oscar award, only after being feted its only when their efforts were validated and this has gone ahead and had a profound impact on their careers. As the old African adage goes if you do something worthy praise you indeed deserve to be praised in return success will follow.
