I don't care what he says, my money's still on Winslet


Noah Forrest, writing in Movie City News, argues (1) Kate Winslet is the greatest living actress and (2) she doesn't deserve the Oscar for best actress this year. He said if the Academy gives her the Oscar (which is extremely likely, I'm thinking) it will be a makeup award, compensating for the times she deserved to win but didn't. Other makeup awards he cites are Jack Lemmon's for "Save the Tiger," Al Pacino for "Scent of a Woman" and Paul Newman for "Color of Money." Perhaps I'm an old codger, but he fails to mention my two favorite makeups: Jimmy Stewart for "The Philadelphia Story" and Humphrey Bogart for "The African Queen."
