The Oscar for Best Actress seems clearer within the major Oscars. Kate Winslet is the big favorite and the only real choice to win the prize.
And justice will be done as it was incredible that one of the best actresses, if not the best of the past 10 years were not even any Oscars, and indeed if they had kept the nominations for the Golden Globes with Kate Winslet away from competing in the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, had won both. This time his nomination was passed by The Reader to point Best Actress instead of Best Supporting Actress. Outside of this film or the other would have certainly won.
The rest of the competitors have no chance but to be surprised, something impossible, it would be Meryl Streep which start with an advantage having won the SAG Guild Actrices, but we must remember that there are competing with Kate Winslet Revolutionary Road not for The Reader.
Anne Hathaway as a second favorite in most polls, which do not understand because it is obvious that being so young is not going to win the Oscar for Best Actress and less with the type of films he has done. From here a few years can now, no.
