HENSON: 'I'M OUT OF WORK'

Oscar-nominated actress TARAJI P. HENSON is desperately searching for her next role - because there are no movie offers on the horizon.

Taraji P. Henson at the 14th Annual Critics' Choice Awards held at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. Los Angeles, California - 08.01.09

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button star is up for the Best Supporting Actress gong at this year's (09) Academy Awards.

And she is shocked at the announcement she has made the shortlist, as her work offers have dried up since she finished shooting the film.

Asked by the Daily Beast website if she is inundated with new roles, she says: "Actually... no. I can’t wait to write my memoir someday and talk about this moment in my life - my name is being bounced around the Oscars, Golden Globes, and all these awards, it's incredible. And I don’t have a job. Nothing.

"The industry is really slow right now because of the pending strike, so I am at a standstill. It’s funny that I have all these things going on and no work in sight. It’s very shaky out here."
