Oscar nomination for Reading actress
Reading-born Kate Winslet, one of the leading actresses in the English-speaking world, has been nominated yet again for an Oscar, this time for her role in Little Children. It is Kate’s fifth nomination to date.
The other Best Actress nominees are Penelope Cruz, Meryl Streep (her 14th nomination, gulp) and fellow Brits Judi Dench and Helen Mirren.
The ceremony will take place on 25 February and you can watch it live in an exclusive Reading Roars! webcast (I’m kidding, of course – I’m a good actor, no?).
