The Reader had a surprisingly strong showing in the announcement of Academy Award nominations, with bids for best picture, director, and adapted screenplay; they are the same makers of The Hours. Reportedly, the role of the concentration camp guard was first offered to Winslet, but she bowed out because of her commitment to Revolutionary Road. The role was then offered to Nicole Kidman, but she had to back out because she got pregnant while shooting Australia. The role went back to Winslet.
If Winslet wins the Oscar this year, she will be the second winner to be produced by Daldry, Hare, and company. Imagine what would have happened if Kidman got the role and won another Academy Award.
Nicole Kidman needs to have her career revived. Any suggestions?
