George Clooney has admitted that winning an Oscar isn't as life-changing as he thought it would be.http://fametastic.co.uk/archive/20070317/5158/george-clooney-oscars-dont-mean-that-much-in-hollywood/
George won the Best Supporting Actor award last year for his performance in Syriana but aside from using it as a photo prop when celebrity guests visit, it's not changed much for him.
He said recently: "There is an interesting thing that happens [when you win an Oscar]. There is this great celebration. You're really excited. You call all your friends. Your friends have called you. That part takes about a day."
"But it doesn't make any difference. I can't carry my Oscar with me to the studio. It's still just as difficult to get a $7million dollar film or a $70million film financed."
"I can tell the Oscar night was a hell of a night. The party was a lot of fun. But I'm telling you I won't gain 40 pounds again like I did for Syriana in the hopes of winning another Oscar."
