Everything that I get to know about Gwyneth Paltrow makes me dislike her more and more.
I don't care about the Oscars but that's an award that many people only can dream about.
Also it wasn't this role the one it's said she stole from Winona by rubbing shoulders with Weinstein? https://t.co/LuYQvwBSdI

In 1999, Gwyneth Paltrow earned an Oscar for her portrayal of Viola De Lesseps in 'Shakespeare in Love'.

A while ago, Bollywood actors talked about using their awards as door stops. “There are so many awards at home. My dad has worked for so long. I mean we have used awards as door-stoppers when the hinge broke. And when we did not have enough space, we would give it to others. That’s how life is. For me, I come to award shows, perform and host, and leave the rest to the audience. It’s also been so long and I feel the younger generation should get these awards. That’s their journey and it will motivate them,” Salman Khan said at an event.

The seasoned actor Naseeruddin Shah has expressed a similar viewpoint. The actor stated that he used trophies as door handles in an interview with Lallantop.
