I've not seen any of these but the buzz seems to be for Kate Winslet, and she's probably due. And the Academy does take that into account.

I think Anne Hathaway might be the dark horse for an upset. But it's a pretty dark horse....

I don't think she's "paid her dues" enough yet to win an award. To me, this is really a two horse race. L |

I think Kate will win, I mean she won the Golden Globe and they're usually the 'safe' prediction. But I loved Anne Hathaway's role, she hasn't paid her dues yet, that's true My heart is with Merryl her role was amazing, as usual, and yes she has won, but she has been nominated 14 times, is it?, and only won 3 if my memory doesn't deceit me.... I 'm torn, but I'll be happy with a win for either of those three..  |

How about anyone other than Angelina Jolie? No?
I think this one is Kate Winslet's, mostly because most people feel like it's due. Meryl Streep was excellent in Doubt, and I would be happy if she won. It's been over twenty years since her last Oscar won.
Anne Hathaway, in my opinion, is also really deserving, but I agree that she might seem a little too green for Academy Voters against Kate Winslet & Meryl Streep. Maybe ten years from now, Rachel Getting Married will be to Anne Hathaway, as Titanic is to Kate Winslet.

How about anyone other than Angelina Jolie, yes! I wouldn't vote for her for best homewrecker, even though she seemed to do a stellar job in that performance. L |

I loved how Kate told Meryl Streep to "suck it up". How cool would it be to tell Meryl Streep to "suck it up", and on national television, no less!?!?

It really irritated me last night when Jennifer Anniston was on stage as a presenter, and the cameraman switched to a shot of Jolie. What did he expect? A little mud wrestling between the two?  The media should give it a rest. Anniston has been through more than enough without having it all constantly shoved down her throat. |

The more I see Brad sitting there and smirking with AJ, the more I think that Jennifer is good to be rid of him, but I am sure it has to hurt, everyday, with "the perfect family" smeared all over the tabloids. Perfect, my foot. |
