Kate Winslet’s elusive Oscar finally within reach

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Win or lose at Sunday’s Oscar ceremony, British actress Kate Winslet will enter Academy Award history.

Winslet, 33, will either walk past her chief rival, Meryl Streep, to collect her first Oscar for her performance as a woman with a secret Nazi past in “The Reader,” or share the dubious title of biggest loser for having been nominated for the coveted honor, and lost, six times.

The betting in Hollywood ahead of the February 22 ceremony for the world’s top film awards is that Winslet should be getting her acceptance speech ready.

“I think it is her time. When Academy members are voting, they are going to be thinking not just of ‘The Reader‘ but of ‘Revolutionary Road,'” said Hollywood.com movie critic Pete Hammond, when talking about the two movies starring Winslet that were released within weeks of each other in 2008.

The Beauty Within: An Exclusive Interview with Kate Winslet

When Kate Winslet rang me earlier today, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. A bit of beauty banter? Of course. But the conversation that ensued unveiled a genuine heart and sense of purpose below the striking exterior of  this  Lancome spokesmodel.

Though still in her early 30s, Kate’s sage-like qualities resounded over the phone. With all the awards she’s been winning and is nominated for, you’d think she’d be a little less grounded, not so.

So then it’s safe to assume that you’re comfortable with being a “body image hero”?

Yes, yes. Very much so.

Do you watch yourself in your films? Is it hard to see yourself on screen?

I don’t watch myself, no. I always see [my films] once when they come out, but I don’t sit and avidly watch them. I do find it a bit strange.

Kate: Oscar But No Maid Marian

It’s a war of Kates — or Cates — as the search for Robin Hood’s Maid Marian continues.

I told you the other day about Sienna Miller leaving Nottingham, the Ridley Scott directed feature set to star Russell Crowe. The feeling was that petite, young Miller would seem dwarfed on screen by the older, beefier, Gladiator star.

Now comes word from sources that Kate Winslet, nominated for Best Actress in The Reader, has passed on the role of Maid Marian and the opportunity to spend quality time with Crowe, Scott and pals in the woods.

Give poor Kate a break

LAST Saturday, Kate Winslet was sitting in the garden of the Chateau Marmont hotel just off Sunset Boulevard. A party was going on; Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were there.

Kate had just arrived from the East Coast, one of her kids was sick and she was tired. She wondered aloud whether she’d win a Golden Globe the following evening and concluded that Penelope Cruz would win best supporting actress and either Meryl Streep or Anne Hathway would take the best dramatic actress crown.

She was philosophical about it. She and I have had many such conversations over the years.
