So what's up with that Kate Winslet Oscar nom for The Reader? Looks like Hollywood was as disappointed in Revolutionary Road as we were. Popular opinion has it that this is Winslet's year, but she's still young(ish) and she's got it all, it just seems like she's been around forever. And are they really going to give her the gold for The Reader (which is now being marketed as "a thriller")? Or are the stars aligning to finally give Meryl Streep a third statuette for her riveting work in Doubt, in which she channels later period Bette Davis, with a flawless Brooklyn Irish accent to boot. Sure, Meryl's been nominated more than anyone in history, but (as she's pointed out herself) that also means that she's lost more than anyone in history. Jersey's Sarah Bernhardt recently won the SAG award, so this is shaping up to be a real horse race. As long as a split vote doesn't throw it Anne Hathaway's wide-smiled way, I'll be satisfied.
