Hathaway confident Winslet will get Oscar

U.S. actress Anne Hathaway says she is confident British actress Kate Winslet has the best actress Academy Award in the bag.

Hathaway, who is nominated in the best actress category for Rachel Getting Married, said Winslet has the edge for her performance in The Reader, USA Today reported Saturday.

My category is sewn up, Hathaway said, referring to Sunday’s Academy Awards ceremony. It’s going to be (Kate) Winslet all the way.

The other best actress nominees are Angelina Jolie for Changeling, Melissa Leo for Frozen River and Meryl Streep for Doubt.

Hathaway added that while losing a best actress Golden Globe to Winslet may have been disappointing, she thoroughly enjoyed the Jan. 11 Golden Globe awards ceremony.

The best thing so far has not been winning the Golden Globe. It would have been awesome to win and a lot of people told me I was going to, and when I didn’t I realized I was still having a great time, the 26-year-old actress said. It didn’t matter what would happen to me for the rest of the awards season.
