November's Oscar Poll

The results of my most recent polling of Oscar voters. The number in parenthesis is the entry's position in the October poll.

NOTE: You will see Kate Winslet's name all over the place. She is hoping to be in the lead actress category for "Revolutionary Road" (out of deference to her director husband Sam Mendes) and in the supporting category for "The Reader." However, after having seen the trailer for "The Reader," that looks like (1) a lead role and (2) more Oscar worthy than "Road." But, then, that's just my opinion.
