The 2008 BFCA Critics' Choice Awards winners contain one moderate surprise -- a formal splitting of the Best Actress trophy between Anne Hathaway (Rachel Getting Married) and Meryl Streep (Doubt), and a third portion of the award going to Kate Winslet by handing the Reader star the Best Supporting Actress award, which was obviously a partial nod to Winslet's lead performance in Revolutionary Road.

Otherwise it was more of the usual-fine-yawn. Best Picture / Slumdog Millionaire; Best Actor / Sean Penn in Milk; Best Supporting Actor / Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight; Best Acting Ensemble / the Milk gang; Best Director /
Slumdog Millionaire's Danny Boyle; Best Original or Adapted Screenplay / Slumdog Millionaire's Simon Beaufoy; Best Animated Feature / WALL*E; Best Foreign Language Film / Waltz With Bashir; Best Documentary / Man On Wire.

i thought that was cool Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep both won the same award. a young and coming actress with a promising future, alongside a well-respected actress....

If Hathaway and Streep hadn't worked together, do you think it would have worked out the same way? It just seems a little too cutesy.

If Kate Winslet wins a consolation Best Supporting Actress Oscar for a lead role in a shit movie over Penelope Cruz or Viola Davis or Marisa Tomei, that will be bullshit of the highest order and her first Oscar will forever be a joke.

burma, I read "The Reader" screenplay and didn't think it was amazing, so I can imagine the movie's not too impressive, either.

I hope Winslet doesn't win, because I agree, it would be a bullshit win.

BFCA took the easy way out by giving most of the awards to Slumdog. Did they really think that Slumdog was the best original/adapted screenplay??? I would'vegiven it to John Patrick Shanley for Doubt. Instead of Hathaway, I would've had Michelle Williams ("Wnedy and Lucy") share the award with Streep. Or, just give it outright to Kate Winslet for Revolutionary Road. I agree with the above posters that Penelope Cruz deserved the Best Supporting Actress award. I think Sean Penn's win was mostly political (especially after Prop 6 or whatever lost in Calif.). I would've given it to Langella.

What happened to Micky Rourke? He was blazing hot for best actor and that seems to have cooled; no?

Oh please.

Winslet is extremely deserving for The Reader. She was fantastic in it and the movie is being very unfairly criticized. I'd for vote her in lead over the OVERRATED Hathaway and Streep anyday but beating the OVERRATED Cruz is fine by me too.

And I'm glad atleast one of the above douchebags had the guts to admit he hadnt even seen The Reader (while damning Winslet winning for it). Glad to be reminded just how worthless the majority of the opinions are on the internet.

Andrea you still agree it's a lead performance, so where precisely do we diverge?

Saw The Reader last night and I liked it, despite not expecting much going into the cinema. Winslet's role however is a co-lead, not a supporting one. Not at all. I'm not a huge fan of Winslet but it's my favourite performance of hers, hands down. Her work in Revolutionary Road is like a school play in comparison.
