People Anna Kendrick was so broke she couldn't buy shoes when she was nominated for an Oscar Being an Oscar nominated actress will make you successful, but it might not make you rich Heather Saul @heatheranne9 Thursday 27 October 2016 16:43 BST IFRAME: https://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=https3A2F2Fwww.facebo ok.com2FTheIndependentOnline2Fwidth=450layout=buttonaction=likesi ze=largeshowfaces=falseshare=falseheight=35appId=235586169789578 Click to follow The Independent Online Anna-Kendrick-resting-bitch-face.jpg Anna Kendrick has publicly bemoaned the effect of RBF on her life The critical success that precedes an Oscar nomination is not always accompanied by financial security. Anna Kendrick said that after being nominated for an Oscar for her role in Up in the Air in 2009, she was still stone broke. “My stylist told me I had to wear the perfect shoes for an outfit, and because the movie isn't out yet, nobody really knows who you are," Kendrick, 31, told Ellen DeGeneres. "'The shoe places don't want to loan you the shoes so can you buy a pair of Louboutins?' “I was like, ‘I’m still poor’. So it was this weird combination of like all these great things are happening but at the same time nothing has changed so, it was a weird dichotomy.” People news in pictures 9 show all People news in pictures 1/9 US President-elect Donald Trump and musician Kanye West pose for media at Trump Tower in Manhattan, New York City Reuters 2/9 Anna Wintour apologises for criticising Donald Trump on a train.

Winning an Oscar isn’t guaranteed to grant instant happiness either, as Anne Hathaway recently recalled. Instead, her win prompted a backlash. “I kind of lost my mind doing that movie and it hadn’t come back yet," she said. "Then I had to stand up in front of people and feel something I don’t feel which is uncomplicated happiness. It’s an obvious thing, you win an Oscar and you’re supposed to be happy. I didn’t feel that way. I felt wrong that I was standing there in a gown that cost more than some people are going to see in their lifetime and winning an award for portraying pain that still felt very much a part of our collective experience as human beings.” More about: Anna Kendrick Anne Hathaway [reuse.png] Reuse content Comments [i100.png] Most Popular Video Sponsored Features Follow us: User Policies Privacy Policy Cookie Policy Code of Conduct Complaint Form Contact Us Contributors All Topics Archive Newsletters Jobs Subscriptions Advertising Guide Syndication Evening Standard Novaya Gazeta Install our Apps (Submit) Close We've noticed that you are using an ad blocker.
