Kate Winslet has been receiving mountains of praise this year for her roles in both The Reader and Revolutionary Road. This year will mark her sixth Oscar nomination. Can she finally take home the golden trophy? Let's look at the nominees:
Anne Hatheway, Rachel Getting Married - A strong performance, and Hathaway has already been scooping up nominations left and right. This film has been near the top of many a reviewer's top ten lists.
Angelina Jolie, Changeling - Why was this nominated?
Melissa Leo, Frozen River - After being in the business for over twenty years, this fine actress is finally getting the well-deserved recognition.
Meryl Streep, Doubt - Streep gives her usual mesmerizing performance. She's one of the most prolific winning actresses in Academy history. I've written much about Doubt in the past few days, so I'm sure you're well aware of how I feel about this performance.
Kate Winslet, The Reader - Winslet delivered two powerful performances this year, and she has been receiving mountains of praise for both. The Acadamy had to pick one, and they were right to choose The Reader. Her performance was the focal point of this film.
Conclusion: Both Hathaway and Winslet are good picks for this Oscar, and frankly it's anyone's guess on who will win. If I had to choose, though, I would say that the Academy will finally honor Winslet with an Oscar.
