Meryl Streep – With 15 Academy Award nominations and 23 Golden Globe nominations, Meryl Streep is undoubtedly the finest actress of this or any generation. She is also one of the few people to have won all four major acting awards (BAFTA, SAG, Golden Globes and an Oscar). It’s a no-brainer to assume that she’ll be up for another award in 2011.
Anne Hathaway – Since making a name for herself in Disney’s The Princess Diaries, Hathaway has established herself as a talented actress with a bright future. After starring in a number of family films, she graduated to more mature roles in Brokeback Mountain and Havoc. In the film The Devil Wears Prada, she had a chance to act opposite her screen idol, Meryl Streep. Hathaway was nominated for an Oscar in 2009, and I’m betting that it’s only the first of many.
Kate Winslet – Many critics regard Winslet as the best young actress currently working. She has gained critical praise for a number of films: Sense and Sensibility, Titanic, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Little Children, Revolutionary Road, and The Reader. At the age of 33, she became the youngest actor or actress to ever receive six Oscar nominations. In 2009, she finally captured the Best Actress award for her role in The Reader.
Cate Blanchett – The Australian actress known for her ability with accents has won an Academy Award, two BAFTAs, two Golden Globes, and two SAGs. She has acted in a diverse collection of films including The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Elizabeth, and The Aviator. Blanchett is highly respected in the acting community, and any role she takes on has some level of Oscar potential. If you’re making your own 2011 Oscar predictions, you could do far worse than this Aussie.
