Will Win: Kate Winslet - The ReaderIt's hard to imagine that such a wonderful and magnificent actress like Kate Winslet has endured five previous nominations without a single Oscar win. We can argue about Titanic, but certainly performances in Sense and Sensibilities and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind deserve some kind of recognition. Still, with two great performances offered this year, we all knew this would be the time when she'd get that Oscar but we didn't know for which role, either this or Revolutionary Road. With only one performance nominated, we can safely say she'll win for The Reader, a performance that has gotten enough attention for her to finally win.
Should Win: Anne Hathaway - Rachel Getting Married
As much as I adore Winslet, and am happy to know she'll finally win an Oscar, my true vote belongs to Hathaway. Her performance in the film is showy at times, but it always feels like it's coming from the heart. Kim is not a character that one would really care about, but Hathaway's sensitive portrayal makes her a very endearing character. Here she proves that she's always been a good actress, and even though Winslet is one of the greatest there is, I'd still say Hathaway's performance stayed with me longer than most others I had seen this year.
