The recent double Golden Globe winner Kate Winslet has now attained two nominations for best actress at the British Academy Film Awards. She has already won previously for her role in Sense and Sensibility, in which she played Marianne Dashwood.  This time she is nominated for roles in her films Revolutionary Road and The Reader.

However, one should point out that this is the second time Winslet has received two best actress Bafta nods in the same year, having been shortlisted in 2005 for Finding Neverland and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. The actress was also nominated in 2002 for Iris and in 2007 for Little Children.

Kate faces these competitors in her catagory: fellow Briton Kristin Scott Thomas – nominated for the French film I’ve Loved You So Long – and Changeling star Angelina Jolie. Meryl Streep is also shortlisted for her role in Doubt (which has also picked up supporting actor nominations for Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams).

Another successful film Slumdog Millionaire is also up for several prizes, including best film, best British film and best director. Danny Boyle stated: “After so much time away it’s wonderful to be recognised at home”.

What with that and Heath up for another award for Best Supporting Actor, it looks like this BAFTA’s could be quite interesting.
