Will win: Kate Winslet for The Reader
The year 2009, is shaping up to be a great one for Kate Winslet. She's already pocketed two golden globes and the supporting-actress trophy at the Critics Choice Awards. Winslet is now the favorite for best actress. She is due to break the 5 nominations and no Oscar curse. The sixth time should be a winner for her.

Should win: Meryl Streep for Doubt
Meryl Streep's "Doubt"performance had the Streep-y accent thing, but laid atop a creation of shallow-hearted complexity.

Loved Kate in Holy Smoke! (1999).
Though Premiere magazine named her performance as Clementine Kruczynski in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind the 81st greatest film performance of all time.

Kate Winslet *will* and *should*. Though I actually preferred her performance in Revolutionary Road this year, she was fantastic in The Reader. Such a complex character.

My favourite past Winslet film is "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", where everyone in the cast was just fantastic.
