Two Kate Winslets in one
Why give Kate Winslet two awards when you can mush a couple of her performances together and call it "best actress?"
Wonder if the trophy's twice as big.
Vancouver film critics gave new double-Golden-Globe-holder Winslet their best actress honor for both "Revolutionary Road" and "The Reader." They also mismatched their choices, much as a number of critics and guild groups have been doing (Oscar foreshadowing!), by picking "Milk" for best film, but not its director Gus Van Sant (they chose David Fincher instead for "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button).
Obvious choices: Sean Penn for best actor and Heath Ledger for best supporting. Not so obvious but well-deserved: Rosemarie DeWitt for best supporting actress in "Rachel Getting Married."
Hat tip to Awards Daily for the Vancouver results, and for the just-released Costume Designers Guild nominations, which include Deborah Hopper for "Changeling," Patricia Field for "Sex & the City" and Lindy Hemming for "The Dark Knight."
Mmmmm, chocolate Oscar. Not every star will walk away from the 81st annual Academy Awards with a trophy, but if they hit the high-profile Governor's Ball they can have pastry chef Sherry Yard's gold-dusted candy version. Also on the menu from celeb chef Wolfgang Puck is tuna tartare in sesame miso cones, chopped Chino Farms vegetable salad with ginger soy vinaigrette, Maine lobster and caviar. Serve it up!
