Best Actress in a Leading Role: Kate Winslet, Revolutionary Road

Winslet’s tremendous turn as desperate housewife April Wheeler earned nothing but raves when “Revolutionary Road” opened, but the film's dark subject matter didn't do the actress any favors … nor did Melissa Leo’s breakout in “Frozen River,” which nabbed a surprising nod at the last minute. Luckily, the perennial nominee was recognized for her other poignant performance of ’08 in “The Reader,” which should finally earn Kate her first gold statuette come February 22.

  This was a fantastic novel. I couldn't bring myself to see the movie because I want to keep the book "pristine" in my mind, if you know what I mean. I also think that Kate is way over-rated. I am sure she is a nice person but I don't get all the accollades about her. Donna

  the movie was a bunch of hype. White feminist women who wanted to be free from the marriage she probably forced to happen anyway. So typical. Nothing original about it. Baby Killer. If you don't want to have children USE PROTECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Didn't read the book, but really enjoyed the movie. It stayed with me long after I left the theater. A lot of underlying themes. I thought both she and DiCaprio deserved Oscar nods.
