This week I received several comments about "The Reader" director's film "The Hours" (Stephen Daldry), and their choices for Oscar and I think it is worth delving a bit in this film and its potential for statuettes .
"The Reader", a historical drama, stars Kate Winslet (Titanic) and Ralph Fiennes (The Constant Gardener) and relates the life of a student Germanic law in Germany of the post World War II when he meets his former lover , a woman who defends herself in a war crimes trial.
The woman in question is played by Winslet.
The film starts ringing in the list of candidates for the Oscar, not only for best picture, as well as Best Actress for Winslet. However, his late arrival to theaters, and come January, reduces your options and forces the film to slip exceeds expectations among the favorites, a list that so far no go.
It is true that today 12 November criticism of the New York Post Cindy Adams dared to place it among the three titles most likely to get nominated, along with "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and "Revolutionary Road"-indeed, also Winslet-
Without doubt, today, the sure bet nomination for "The Reader" seems what they call in Hollywood a "long shot", a 'long shot' or a risky shot. Can not say the same for Winslet. His performance in two of the best films of the year expected the candidate make sure to opt for an Oscar.
