She was too much of a newcomer at that time, which is unfortunate considering what her track record would become down the line. 1997 was Judi Dench all the way for me in "Mrs. Brown", so no-go for Winslet in "Titanic". I didn't like "Iris" too much, and I begrudingly accept Jim Broadbent's win there alone. Anything over Swank would have been excellent, but it would have been Imelda Staunton for "Vera Drake" hands down that year. That leaves 2006, but I still have to go with La Mirren over all. I can see why she's lost each time, unfortunately. She really needs to win at some point soon though. I voted for "Sense & Sensibility".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-88331258122307113982007-10-08T02:05:00.000-04:002007-10-08T02:05:00.000-04:00mmmm such a pleasant actressy aromammmm such a pleasant actressy aromaNATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-67144217252734405432007-10-07T13:29:00.000-04:002007-10-07T13:29:00.000-04:00it's lovely and fresh in my own little world it sm...it's lovely and fresh in my own little world it smells of meryl,julianne,sigourney,michelle,glenn,julia,kate & scarlett.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-31824440129539363612007-10-07T07:10:00.000-04:002007-10-07T07:10:00.000-04:00I sort of love it when all the anonymous people se...I sort of love it when all the anonymous people seem to be living in their own little world.Glenn Dunkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424659636310160482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-36447047778897660932007-10-07T06:25:00.000-04:002007-10-07T06:25:00.000-04:00why the winslet bashing i would rather have hour u...why the winslet bashing i would rather have hour uk rose than half of your hollywood actresses so called elisha cuthbert,kirsten dunst,katherine heigl,demi moore,jessica alba,julia stiles etc etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-8759141492449364762007-10-07T06:23:00.000-04:002007-10-07T06:23:00.000-04:00no i did not someone said winslet was pissp oor in...no i did not someone said winslet was pissp oor in f/n well imo madge is piss ppoo in who's that girl and to say winslet is piss poor is to put her in that category of actresses/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-52383511801654074972007-10-07T06:14:00.000-04:002007-10-07T06:14:00.000-04:00I'm sorry, did we just compare Winslet in Neverlan...I'm sorry, did we just compare Winslet in <I>Neverland</I> to Madonna in <I>Who's That Girl</I>?<BR/><BR/>NO!

Will be skipping Jindabyne because I think Ray Lawrence is overrated (based on Lantana and Bliss). I also disliked The Squid and the Whale and P.S.<BR/><BR/> I forgot The House of Mirth, though. She was undeniably brilliant in that. She was good in The Truman Show, but I think any number of actresses could've pulled off that part. And my problems with Mystic River largely center on her characterization (though I rush to add that I solely blame writer Brian Helgeland for that. She did some heavy lifting there and did it effectively).<BR/><BR/> And everything about The Life of David Gale was crap.<BR/><BR/> I don't think she's a bad actress, just that calling her overdue and lumping her with the all those greats from the 80's or 90's seems odd to me.
