Kate Winslet should have won. I wonder if her 2 Best Actress noms caused a split vote in the category?

I don't think they were separate. Voting for Kate Winslet would have been voting for her in both films.

YAY!! The director of The Reader won Best Directing. LOL!! I thought i would bring this up now...since there has been such a backlash against the movie.

Hunger
Tilda Swinton
Stephen Daldry finally wins something
Michael Sheen
