I thought Winslet had two "Golden Globes" already...
The nominations for the 81st annual Academy Awards were announced today.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, a drama adapted from a F Scott Fitzgerald story in which Brad Pitt plays a man who ages backward, led the field of Oscar contenders with 13 nominations.
Slumdog Millionaire, the tale of an impoverished orphan's improbable victory on an Indian television game show, followed with 10, while the Batman sequel The Dark Knight and the gay-rights saga Milk each landed eight.
Surprisingly, Kate Winslet was nominated for Best Actress In A Leading Role for The Reader, but not in Revolutionary Road.
Just two weeks ago, Winslet picked up two Golden Globes for both films, but her gong for Revolutionary Road for a leading role.
Her husband Sam Mendes, who directed Revolutionary Road, was snubbed a Best Director nod, as well as her co-star Leonardo DiCaprio.
The Reading-born actress has been nominated five times before, but has always gone home empty-handed.
The nominations were announced at 5.38am local time in Los Angeles by actor Forest Whitaker, who won an Oscar two years ago for Last King Of Scotland.
The Oscar winners will be announced at a ceremony in Hollywood on February 22.
