Who Says Hunks Don't Win Oscars? Does hotness matter when it comes to Oscars? Do people still believe in free money and New York cops with hearts of gold? The veteran award-watchers over at Gold Derby have an interesting theory - and a good piece of linkbait: hunks, they say, don't win Academy Awards. "Gorgeous women win Oscars all time (Charlize Theron, Natalie Portman)," they write, "but when handsome studs come close to victory, they usually get slapped down by the geezer guys who constitute the biggest voting bloc within the Academy." It's payback, they suggest, for all the gifts these gods among men already have. Among the hotties who haven't gotten the gold: Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Harrison Ford - all, wouldn't you know, shirtless in the site's slideshow gallery. Rock Hudson and Cary Grant also went home empty-handed in their bids. Still, the Bagger isn't sure we agree - and neither might fans of Denzel Washington, Jean Dujardin, Jamie Foxx and Colin Firth. Not to mention George Clooney, Heath Ledger, and Javier Bardem. Though, to be fair, the latter three won best supporting actor Oscars. Is that a reason not to post shirtless pictures of them?
