Two L.A. Times Oscar Experts, discuss the two Oscar forerunners for Best Actress of the 81st Academy Awards: Meryl Streep and Kate Winslet.
Tom O’Neil of ‘Gold Derby’, and ‘Pete Hammond’ of The Envelope, hold a video debate on who will get the win.
What I like about this, is that they discuss what makes these two actresses the forerunners. What are reasons, what’s the basis for them both agreeing that the award will go to one of these two actresses, in their respective category; that of Best Actress?
Next, they reveal what are underlying influential factors, determinants; that motivate the members of the Academy when choosing the winner?
What’s cool, is that these elements that they define, are specific determinants just for this Oscar category.
You can see why these guys are some of the biggies, in their end of ’the business’. (Have you heard the term ‘Oscarologists’, yet?)
