Best Actress Odds At The Oscars Suggest Kate Winslet Will Make It Sixth Time Lucky
Wednesday 18 February 2009 at 12:43
The Oscars take place on Sunday and Kate Winslet, who has been nominated for five Oscars previously without success, has more reason than most to be thinking she deserves to win more than anyone else.
Winslet Should Finally Win An Oscar
Winslet is the hot favourite to win Oscars Best Actress at this year's ceremony, she can be backed at 8/15 with Coral and Boylesports to pick up the award. She has been nominated for her role in The Reader, a performance that won her Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Globes.
Meryl Streep To Win Third Oscar?
Verteran actress Meryl Streep is the second favourite to win Best Actress and most likely to cash in if Winslet is once again snubbed by the Academy. Meryl Streep has been nominated for her role in Doubt, where she plays a nun who confronts a priest about abuse she suspects to a black student. Streep can be backed at 4/1 with Bet365, Paddy Power and SkyBet.
Anne Hathaway No Longer The Favourite
The other actress in with a real chance is Anne Hathaway who is the third favourite at 6/1 with Bet365. Hathaway has been nominated for her performance in Rachel Getting Married and she had been favourite to win the Oscars Best Actress until she was beaten to the Best Actress at the Golden Globes, by Winslet.
The Two Outsiders
The other two actresses up for the award are Angelina Jolie and Melissa Leo. Angelina Jolie was nominated for Clint Eastwood directed Changeling and she is 22/1 with Stan James whilst Melissa Leo, nominated for the less high profile Frozen River, is 40/1 with Paddy Power and Coral.
