So they've won an Oscar, now what? This year's biggest winners are all already so successful, they're well beyond the dreaded "Oscar curse" as many have a loaded schedule waiting for them post-awards season. 

Ben Affleck, whose film "Argo" took home the golden statue for Best Picture, will be able to add "director" to his resume once again. According to Hollywire, Affleck is directing the film adaptation of the book "Live By Night" by Dennis Lehane. He'll also be lending his acting chops to the thriller "Runner, Runner" alongside Justin Timberlake and to art-house piece "To The Wonder," costarring Rachel McAdams. 

Coming up on the category many feel Affleck was snubbed for, Best Director Ang Lee has yet to decide on his next project post- "Life of Pi." 

America's new sweetheart and Best Actress winner Jennifer Lawrence has a full plate after her big performance in "Silver Linings Playbook." Hollywire reports the 22-year-old is set to star in two more films alongside her "Silver Linings" costar Bradley Cooper, including historical drama "Serena" and another untitled drama. Lawrence is also bringing back Katniss Everdeen for the next installment in the "Hunger Games" series, which is set to premiere in late November 2013. Loading on even more to her packed schedule, Hollywood's favorite "It Girl" will be shooting "X-Men: Days of Future Past" this year and will be starring in the film "The Ends of Earth," due in 2014.

Record three-time "Best Actor" winner Daniel Day-Lewis has admitted he'll be taking a break after the exhaustion of "Lincoln." It's standard for the Irish actor to take a few years off between projects, so it'll probably be a while before we hear much more from him, until he delivers another mind-blowing performance and snatches up another Oscar, that is. 

"Les Miserables" actress Anne Hathaway took home "Best Supporting Actress," for her heart wrenching work in the musical, making her one of Hollywood's most desired actresses. Next up for Hathaway is "Don Jon's Addiction," Joseph-Gordon-Levitt's first foray into the directing world, voiceover work in the animated film, "Rio 2" and a role in the upcoming movie "Song One."

"Best Supporting Actor" Christoph Waltz will also be doing some voiceover work as a villain in the animated feature "Epic," costarring "Hunger Games" actor Josh Hutcherson and Beyoncé.  Beyond that, the "Django Unchained" actor is starring in the sci-fi flick "The Zero Theorem," and well as taking on the role of former U.S.S.R leader Mikhail Gorbachev in "Reykjavik." Michael Douglas will star alongside him as the U.S.'s most famous Republican - the late President Ronald Reagan.
