Oscar Snubs & Surprises of the Last 10 Years20 of 24
2008
For the first time in twenty years, and the second time ever, the winner of the Golden Globe for Best Actress - Motion Picture Drama has not been nominated for an Oscar. Kate Winslet won for her role as a bored housewife in 'Revolutionary Road', but was not nominated by the Academy. Instead, her role in 'The Reader', which was being promoted as a Supporting one, nabbed her a nomination for Best Actress! One of the most confusing surprises in Oscar history! Her film 'The Reader' did surprisingly well, being nominated also in 4 other categories - including Best Picture (seemingly 'taking' 'The Dark Knight's place).
