In addition to gender differences, there is some evidence to suggest that an Oscar nomination might be more fiscally valuable in the long run than a win. Among the top 10 highest-paid actors on Forbes’ 2013 list, 80 percent are male, 20 percent are past Oscar winners (Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie, who are tied for last place), and 80 percent (including Washington and Jolie) are past Oscar nominees. Based on this small sample set alone, being a man and being an Oscar nominee appear to be the two strongest predictors for determining whether an actor will become a top Hollywood earner.
