Did winning an Oscar go to Helen Mirren's head?
Instead of continuing in quality movies, theatre and TV she started accepting the big bucks to do shite movies such as National Treasure, Collateral Beauty, Fast and Furious, Arthur, Winchester etc.
She also became a fixture on red carpets and American chat shows.
Would she have been better off if Dame Judi had rightfully won the Oscar for Notes On A Scandal? Did her taste leave her?

Why not cash in when you get the chance Judi Dench did it too

The Oscar helped finance The Tempest, she got nominations across various organisations for The Last Station, Hitchcock, Trumbo, The Hundred Foot Journey and Woman In Gold.
And she won an Olivier and a Tony for The Audience.
And Golda looks like Oscar bait.

Yes but she loves the attention and having out with A-listers and going to fashion galas.

Well she's got another big flop on her hands playing Golda Meir

It could be the only reason she's wearing her hair the way she does lately.

She wanted to share those big floppy titties with the lessers.

She's done so many terrible movies since. Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, and especially Vanessa Redgrave kept their integrity. They never sold out to not only one, but two mediocre, CGI-infested action franchises.

You're mocking the career viability of a 77-year-old actress who has worked steadily her entire life?

Let's be honest, Mirren made some trash even early on in her career. Can any of her contemporaries claim to have starred in one of the worst movies of all time that was literal pornography, Caligula?

Maggie Smith once said something about doing the Harry Potter movies because she didn’t have a pension. I loved her before that, and more after she said it.
Old people don’t know how long they’ll be paying bills, or be able to pay bills. I’m sure the impulse to get it while the getting is there (lofty or not) is very strong.

What? Go to her head? She's in her late 70's, what roles do you expect her to be holding out for? Leave Helen alone, FFS.

She's been in some unremarkable movies but she's not a soulless hack like The Rock

Caligula?
John Gielgud and Peter O'Toole were both in Caligula, why pick on Helen?
