Minnie Driver: Net Worth Awards

Posted by admin on Wednesday, September 29, 2021

Minnie Driver Money Quote saying that good movie roles don’t appear unbidden unless there have been significant awards. Minnie Driver said:
 

 

“You can never be guaranteed good roles because of an award, but I think your profile and net worth as a performer has to do with awards, unfortunately” — Minnie Driver

 

 

In this quote, Minnie Driver seems to be acknowledging that while high-profile awards do not automatically lead to excellent future roles or steady work, they do tend to positively impact an actor’s “profile and net worth as a performer” to some degree, unfortunately.

Specifically, Driver notes that awards alone do not guarantee an actor will consistently get great parts that showcase their talents (“You can never be guaranteed good roles because of an award”). However, she also states that awards do influence how recognizable and successful a performer is perceived to be by the industry (“your profile and net worth as a performer has to do with awards”).

The best interpretation is that Driver believes accolades and prizes, while not direct pathways to specific roles, do raise an actor’s public profile, status and earning potential to some extent in Hollywood (“unfortunately”). Even if they don’t correlate perfectly to the quality of future opportunities, awards seem to boost an actor’s perceived value and “worth” on some level according to Driver’s perspective on their unfortunate influence as a factor in an actor’s career trajectory and financial standing.
