Winning an Oscar is the dream of almost every actor, actress, and precious stage dog—we love you, Uggie!—this side of Hollywood and Vine. What aspiring thespian hasn’t clutched a hairbrush while standing in the mirror, tearfully thanking her agent, parents, and Pilates instructor who knew the name of that discreet plastic surgeon?
