ACT -- TheAct.tv -- Predicts 2009 Oscar Win for Kate Winslet
ACT -- theact.tv -- staff and instructors are going out on a limb this year and predicting that the talented Titanic actress will score a win at the 2009 Academy Awards.
Five times in the past Winslet has been nominated for Academy Awards, and it was no surprise to film critics who have hailed her recent performances in The Reader and Revolutionary Road when that number increased on Jan. 22, 2009, when this year’s nominations were announced.
The 2009 Academy Awards are set to take place February 22, 2009, at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, and we are predicting a win for Kate Winslet as she appears to be the solid front runner for this award. We realize that Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep are not far behind, and that many others feel Streep will take home the award for her amazing performance in Doubt, even though Winslet took home this award at the Golden Globes this year.
Brief bio of Kate Winslet
A look at Winslet's resume shows eclectic roles — from a Shakespearean heroine (Hamlet), to a Titanic survivor (Titanic), to a kooky girlfriend (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind).
Winslet has been surrounded by show business since she was born. Her parents, Roger and Sally Winslet, are both stage actors, and her two sisters are actors, as well. She attended theatre school and landed her first major role in Peter Jackson’s Heavenly Creatures.
Why Kate Winslet should win an Oscar
Now, at 33, Winslet has years of experience, and all those nominations. Oscar may bless her this year, because she’s no longer a kid — of course kids have won Oscars before, to wit, Tatum O’Neal at the age of 10 — but Winslet can now rank among the likes of Oscar winners Halle Berry and Nicole Kidman. She’s no longer a newcomer or a former child actor — she’s proven herself.
Most recently, by winning two Golden Globe Awards, one for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama for her role in Revolutionary Road, and one for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture for The Reader.
Yes, Kate Winslet's talent has blossomed and 2009 is the year she'll take home an Oscar.

Kate Winslet is one of my most favorite actresses of all time. Titanic was THE best movie ever made and is one I've seen over 100 times. Her role in Hamlet was extraordinary and moving. She should be a shoe in for an Oscar this year if she doesn't receive one it will be a shame! There should be more talented actresses like Kate Winslet.

Kate Winslet is definetly in the running for an Oscar this year. Her performance in Revolutionary Road was magnificent. I have always adored Titanic and it still remains one of my favorites.
