Can Kate Winslet Win Two Oscars This Year?

Gina Wilhelm Actress - Can Kate Winslet Win Two Oscars This Year?

Kate Winslet won two Golden Globes this year.

She was named best actress for her performance in "Revolutionary Road" and best supporting actress for "The Reader."

Now the question is whether she can repeat the feat at the Oscars.

Although there have been 11 times in the last 80 years that the same performer has received a leading and supporting nomination, no one has ever been able to take home both awards.

In fact, only one other person has managed to win two Golden Globes. In 1988, Sigourney Weaver won best actress for "Gorillas in the Mist" and best supporting actress for "Working Girl."

She didn't win either Oscar.

Now the LA Times is handicapping Winslet's chances of not only winning, but of being nominated for two Oscars.
