Kate Winslet’s Oscar-Losing Streak
March 9th, 2008 by Andre Soares
The Gold Derby’s Tom O’Neil, never one to waste any time when it comes to Oscar season (a year-long event at the GD), is already "assuming" a possible nomination for Kate Winslet for one of two upcoming films:
"Let’s assume that Kate Winslet gets nominated for the Oscars again next year, a safe bet considering she usually makes the cut whenever she’s in a worthy film. Even though she’s only 32 years old, she’s already been nominated and lost five times — that’s a record tally for someone her age. Voters adore her so much that she often gets nominated even when her equally compelling costars don’t: Leo DiCaprio (Titanic) and Jim Carrey (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind)."
***
O’Neil’s point is that if Winslet gets another nod but goes home empty-handed, she’ll have matched Deborah Kerr’s and (supporting player) Thelma Ritter’s six-time-Oscar-loser record for actresses. (Peter O’Toole, with 8 nods and zero wins, holds the actors’ losing-streak record.)
The two films for which Winslet may get a nomination are Sam Mendes‘ Revolutionary Road (top photo), co-starring Leonardo DiCaprio, and Stephen Daldry’s The Reader, in which Winslet plays opposite Ralph Fiennes and Bruno Ganz.

Here’s rooting for you, Kate!
Kate Winslet should have won an Oscar years ago. She is ****most**** overdue.
Julianne Moore and Laura Linney are two other actresses that also must win. Else, Academy voters will look very stupid.
