I know the Oscars only ended like um, not even two weeks ago. And I know it’s absolute insanity to begin talking about next year’s Best Actress race, but what can I say? I’m certifiable.
Now, you can’t always foresee an Ellen Page or a Marion Cotillard nomination. The best you can do is predict your picks based on pedigree. And the following actresses seem to have the right genetic makeup to make them contenders for a nomination in 2009.

Fan Juan came up with this great idea to make the directors/producers of the little indie film Plunge: The Movie, featuring Kate (obviously). Her scenes were filmed in October of 1997 (It was probably right after Titanic!).
Director Max Newsom says, “Kate Winslet appeared in my kitchen behind a coffee cup one morning, shortly after the crew had parked themselves behind rows of bacon sandwiches. She’d heard about the rehearsals we’d been having and wanted to see what we were up to. She traveled with us to Cornwall and, two days later, rang to ask if there might not be a part she could do. The result of her inquiry was what you’ll see on screen”.
Anyway, here’s the idea for all of us to try making it released on DVD:
We are going to start a petition, writing e-mails to the following addresses:
charles@plunge-the-movie.com
info@plunge-the-movie.com
Notice that these addresses were, in fact, created for what we intend to do now: “For viewing the movie, contact us.” So, let’s get to it, shall we?!
So, come on, guys, Kate fans, admirers or even someone who doesn’t mind expend 5 minutes of your time and help us fans!
Let’s be creative and send lots of e-mails to those guys for us to get a chance to watch this movie. We need more people sending e-mails… let’s bomb them with e-mails. Make noise, be a pain on the neck!!! :)
Even if she only has a cameo, it is still Kate and we (I think I might as well include all Kate fans here) are dying to see it.
Summer’s almost here and because of that I decided to create a brand new contest. The winner will get 2 DVDs! It will run through June 5.
Winner will get:
– 1 Jude DVD fullscreen edition (region 2)
– 1 All The King’s Men DVD widescreen edition (region 1)
Winner will be announced on June 6.
I would personally like to thank Nath for helping me with the questions.
Let’s assume that Kate Winslet gets nominated for the Oscars again next year, a safe bet considering she usually makes the cut whenever she’s in a worthy film.
Even though she’s only 32 years old, she’s already been nominated and lost five times — that’s a record tally for someone her age. Voters adore her so much that she often gets nominated even when her equally compelling costars don’t: Leo DiCaprio (Titanic) and Jim Carrey (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind).
However, if Winslet gets nommed and is defeated again, she’ll tie another record — Oscar’s biggest loser among actresses — a dubious title currently shared by Deborah Kerr and Thelma Ritter.
This upcoming year Winslet has two shots at new bids. One is opposite DiCaprio as lover again, this time in Revolutionary Road, director Sam Mendes’ drama about a disillusioned suburban couple faking a happy life. The last time Mendes — who is wed to Winslet in real life — had a film with a similar theme in the derby, it won five Oscars, including best picture of 1999 (American Beauty). It almost won best actress too, but Annette Bening was eclipsed in the home stretch by Hilary Swank (Boys Don’t Cry) after Bening won the equivalent kudo at SAG.
Winslet will also be considered for her lead role in The Reader as a mysterious German woman whose secret complicity in the Holocaust gets exposed. The latter comes from the creative team that gave us the overhyped The Hours (director Stephen Daltry, scripter David Hare), which nonetheless swept up kudos galore in 2002, including lead actress Oscar and Golden Globe and BAFTA trophies for Nicole Kidman.
Winslet may be partially to blame for her tragic Oscar fate so far, considering she might have won in 1998 if she hadn’t turned down a role that earned an Academy Award for Gwyneth Paltrow: Shakespeare in Love.
