Does anyone think that Winslet's being (suprisingly?) nominated for Best Actress in "The Reader" diminshes her chances of winning?

Posted by Diva (aka Diva) Jan 22 '09, 12:30

Or is she probably going to win anyway regardless because she's nominated so much and never wins?

Or any other ideas? Just thinking out loud...

Responses:

seems like it would indicate strength, as voters not only liked her enough to nominate her, but move her from one category to the other. - Reagen Jan 22, 12:33

- It's also interesting because up until now, industry scuttlebutt has been that they were pushing her for Supporting for "The Reader". - Diva Jan 22, 12:34 1

Somehow, I think Meryl Streep will win. - Will Hunting Jan 22, 12:32 41
- Mamma Mia! for Best Picture! -- nm - Mop Jan 22, 12:48
- I think Viola Davis takes home the only statue for Doubt this year. - znufrii Jan 22, 12:39
- She hasn't won since Sophie's Choice. (1981?) -- nm - Diva Jan 22, 12:35 29
  - She's so due then. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 22, 12:35 28
    - but ... she's already seen as one of the best actresses in Hollywood, and doesn't need another statue to raise her salary. Winslet is still young and - loosilu Jan 22, 12:37 6
      - Winslet just got her 6th Oscar nom before age 32?...i don't think anyone believes her career needs a boost. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 22, 12:38 5
        
        they like giving it to women with a long career ahead of them. -- nm - loosilu Jan 22, 12:38 4

        you had to go back 20 years! -- nm - loosilu Jan 22, 12:45 2
        
        Believe it or not...that was just something I knew. I didn't have to go back for anything. -- nm - Jim Jan 22, 12:46 1
        
        my point was, it doesn't happen often. -- nm - loosilu Jan 22, 12:46

      - Oscar likes young in this category though. - Reagen Jan 22, 12:37 18

        Not on her best day is she cuter than Kate. -- nm - Jim Jan 22, 12:45
        
        also this role was in many ways somewhat more of a departure for Hathaway, and more impressive for that. - znufrii Jan 22, 12:43 1

        I love Anne, but I don't know if she's cuter than Winsey. I could just eat her up. -- nm - Diva Jan 22, 12:41 9

        I don't know - Doesn't Kate get all nekkid in "The Reader"? The lechers love to vote for that stuff and call it 'a brave performance'. - Diva Jan 22, 12:46 6
        
        However, it's Kate Winslet. She gets nekkid more often than Jenna Haze. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 22, 12:48 1
        
        Can't that be special anyways? -- nm - Lecher Voter si Jan 22, 12:55
        
        Hey hun...we should go see The Reader. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 22, 12:48 1
        
        you so funny... -- nm - Diva Jan 22, 12:56
        
        [deleted]
        
        I'd agree if Kate hadn't made getting nekkid a regular occurrence. -- nm - Jim Jan 22, 12:47
        
        sometimes I think you *are* gay. -- nm - loosilu Jan 22, 12:43
        
        I think if Kate wasn't there, it would. - Reagen Jan 22, 12:40 2
        
        I think I need to watch this Extras ep tonight. -- nm - kelly Jan 22, 12:43

        Winslet is plenty young. -- nm - loosilu Jan 22, 12:40

- Streep gets nominated for almost everything she does but has only won twice. -- nm - Reagen Jan 22, 12:34 8

    - I thought Meryl was pretty hammy in this one. -- nm - Diva Jan 22, 12:36 6
      - What did you think of the movie? - kelly Jan 22, 12:38 5
        
        Il iked it enough - I had already seen it on the Bway and I think it was a more than adequate transfer. -- nm - Diva Jan 22, 12:39 4
        
        Oh, I didn't realize it was on Broadway. -- nm - kelly Jan 22, 12:42 3
        
        It was a very good production. The play won the Pulitzer Prize for drama as well. -- nm - Diva Jan 22, 12:44 2
        
        I second this - znufrii Jan 22, 12:46

I think it ups her chances since she did not get a double nom. -- nm - loosilu Jan 22, 12:31
