The British, Canadian, French, and other European critics gave it GREAT reviews. Even RT reported that if it was just U.K. critics included the film would be like 80% Fresh on RT.

The reason for this is that they too have to recognise the fact that this woman is still on the top of her game, she's received some sort of resurgence/revival/renaissance, which is still happening at this very moment and which no one could have anticipated. I presume that they know this and will acknowledge her come February, I mean it actually makes sense, receiving another oscar when she's taking on unprecedented new heights.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-9473859574921958772008-12-09T17:38:00.000-05:002008-12-09T17:38:00.000-05:00Thanks for spreading all the excitement!

I think that Winslet will still be nominated, but what with omissions for "Revolutionary Road" left and right, a win might be out of the question at this point. Plus, category confusion with "The Reader" isn't helping. Thomas is also missing out on some crucial nominations.<BR/>I believe it's now between Hathaway and Streep for the Oscar.</I><BR/><BR/>Before this week, I would have said no, but she's picking up more momentum lately, and I don't really see a lot of competition there for a win. I mean there's plenty of competition for nominations, but I don't sense yet like I do with the other categories that there's a clear winner yet which is usually a good thing because it's no fun when it becomes so predictable. Anyhow, I thought that lack of clear frontrunner might favor Streep or Winslet, but I still feel like they need to pull off a Helen Mirren like sweep especially Streep if they want to win because they just make it look too easy. <BR/><BR/>Then, I thought that KST would pick up most if not all of the critics awards, and because the field is so open, I thought that she would win because she's been nominated before, has been campaigning, and does the role in French. She's been snubbed quite a bit though in the past two weeks, so I'm not even sure of her nomination now since she really needed a sweep or mini-sweep to be remembered. So now I'm looking towards Melissa Leo who has been picking up quite a few critics awards and nominations. Unfortunately for her, she's not the hot young thing, so like the reviewer in the recent Melissa Leo post, since she doesn't look Charlize Theron, it hurts her chances at actually winning. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, that leaves the door open for Anne Hathaway to possibly win. I never thought she would because I thought that this year was more of a pat on the back like Knightley's nomination was, and not a real competitive nomination. As she becomes more of the few locks in this category though, and a frontrunner still really hasn't emerged yet, I think she could win. <BR/><BR/><I>DiCaprio could easily be snubbed. Watch. And Kate should be cautious too. Her saving grace is that voters still have "The Reader" to fall back on in supporting.</I><BR/><BR/>Yes, I was going for her for leading, but I think maybe the Academy might be sick of movies about how horrible the suburbs are, at least for now, or at least ones made by Sam Mendes. So I'm sort of thinking about taking her out of leading and putting her in supporting now because I think she's only going to get one nomination this year, and that she's not going to win this year either that is unless she goes leading for <I>The Reader</I>.Rich Aunt Pennybagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05005421089633289280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-73216370113012556012008-12-09T15:59:00.000-05:002008-12-09T15:59:00.000-05:00DiCaprio could easily be snubbed.

From what I heard it had a very quiet release in the US and I think something like that needs audience to amp it up (Knightley's more celeb than critical darling). Also, Knightley is good but not particularly exciting, and I think- from what AMPAS nommed last year- that that time period in period pieces has finally been moved away from. When they nommed her for P&P she was the Hot Young Thing- a la Hathaway and Hawkins this year. (And Hawkins was just leagues better, to be honest.)<BR/><BR/>On a different note: I'm not sure how I feel about the KST omittance. I love <I>her</I> and would love a resergence in love for her (it's been ages) but the film and, sadly, her perf. both left me cold. And with the plethora of contenders... maybe it'd be good to let others take the spots.
