Not to mention the show she actually headlined, Harry’s Law.
Holly Hunter has also recently been in Top of the Lake.
Talking of which, Oscar winner Jane Campion co-wrote and directed that.
Whoopi Goldberg.
Ron Howard left behind his Opie Cunningham days to win an Oscar before coming back for ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT.
Rarely was there ever a show more aptly named. I kinda liked it, but I’m a bit weird that way.
After reading 42 posts, I was beginning to think maybe she didn’t actually win that Oscar and was a nominee, but no, she did.
Red Buttons – The Secret Life of Henry Phyfe
Burl Ives – The Bold Ones
Jack Albertson – Chico and the Man
Gig Young – The Rogues
John Houseman – The Paper Chase (reprising his Oscar-winning role)
Rash’s co-winner, Nat Faxon, also starred in the short-lived Ben & Kate the year after he won.
HBO picked up Luck for a second season – with all that gambling money up for grabs at the racetrack, and all those colorful characters gunning for it – but the fact that horses kept, y’know, dying meant two-time Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman (and everyone else) only got to show up for one season’s worth of episodes.
Lee Grant was in a short-lived TV series called Fay that began its run about the time Shampoo came out.
Jessica Lange is in American Horror Story. She won for Blue Sky
George Kennedy won for Cool Hand Luke and went on to appear in Dallas
William Hurt was in Damages since winning for Kiss of the Spider Woman
Judi Dench was in the middle of the run of As Time Goes By when she won for Shakespeare in Love
Olympia Dukakis was in at least one short-lived TV series, Center of the Universe, after winning for Moonstruck
Tatum O’Neal was in Rescue Me and Wicked Wicked Games after winning for Paper Moon
Mary Steenburgen won for Melvin and Howard and went on to work on Joan of Arcadia and Curb Your Enthusiasm
Martin Landau racked up a couple of Oscar nominations before winning for his uncanny Bela Lugosi impression in ED WOOD – and roughly a decade later, he was back on television in the cast of THE EVIDENCE as medical examiner Sol Gold. (He later earned multiple Emmy nominations as Frank Malone in WITHOUT A TRACE: as an Outstanding Guest Actor instead of as a castmember, sure – but he kept coming back year after year after year in the role.)
If I’m reading IMDB right, Louis Gosset Jr misses it about as close as possible on that count – his 21st, and final, episode of The Powers Of Matthew Starr aired three days before he won the Oscar for An Officer And A Gentleman – but he still apparently counts by dint of then returning to television: starring in Gideon Oliver as the eponymous anthropology professor who can solve a murder in the Caribbean easy as foiling the Tong in Chinatown or busting art smugglers in Latin America.
Henry Fonda was the star of a TV series called The Deputy in 1959-61. He didn’t actually win an Oscar till On Golden Pond, but come on, it’s Henry Fonda!
Somewhat more recently, he starred in a sit-dramedy called The Smith Family.
Shirley Temple, Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland and Hayley Mills all won Juvenile Academy Awards and went on to do TV.
Perhaps it would be a shorter list to name Oscar Winners who then never did TV.
Kennedy also starred in the series The Blue Knight.
Ellen Burstyn won for Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore in 1975, and has been in a few TV series since, including That’s Life and Political Animals.
Danny Kaye got an honorary Oscar in the '50s – and promptly won a regular Emmy in the '60s by hosting THE DANNY KAYE SHOW, which ran for four seasons.
And, at that, Orson Welles hosted GREAT MYSTERIES for a season in the '70s – after, y’know, winning the Oscar for CITIZEN KANE back in the '40s.
Alfred Hitchcock did a weekly television series for ten years. Of course, he doesn’t count in this thread - because while he was nominated five times, Alfred Hitchcock never won an Oscar.
