Hm, so Penelope Cruz got supporting actress. Isn't she the only one to win other that Kate Winslet, who isn't in the Oscars one?

They're all up for Oscar's.

Well, say hello to the Oscar winners, since whoever wins the BAFTA in the acting categories, almost always goes on to win the Oscar.

I'm so glad Kate won, now she's the favourite going into the Oscar race and I predict she WILL win.

I think bandb fan was referring to Penelope Cruz being the winner in the category because Kate had been picking up Supporting Actress trophies at the Major award shows but she is in lead for the role at the Oscars.
