Lights, camera, Oscars! It seems that Bradley Cooper's quest for the coveted gold statuette has become the stuff of legend, with the actor earning a reputation akin to the infamous Susan Lucci curse. Despite being nominated a staggering nine times, Cooper has yet to clutch the coveted little gold man in his hands. The Hollywood rumor mill has been abuzz with tales of mockery and doubt surrounding Cooper's Oscar aspirations, but could this be his year to break the spell?
The saga begins with a snub at a swanky Hollywood party where a 'hero female' actress flippantly dismissed Cooper's first Oscar nomination for 'Silver Linings Playbook.' The jabs continued as an unnamed director later insinuated that Cooper didn't deserve his subsequent nominations. Even Cooper's own mother, Gloria Campano, couldn't resist poking fun at his lack of Oscar wins in a T-Mobile Super Bowl commercial. Ouch!
