If Streep won't win again so soon, Winslet definitely won't.
It'll be 5 years since her last win, the same time period Swank and Penn won their second Oscars. It'll be 5 years since DDL won his as well. So it's definitely not impossible for Winslet.
COMING THIS AWARDS SEASON
GATSBY VS. GATSBY
Fair enough.
I don't think a fourth win for Streep is out of the question either. She's seen as the greatest of all time, certainly worthy of equalling Hepburn's achievement, and this could be her strongest film in a while (though I'm not quite predicting it to be).
I read How I Live Now just in case Ronan is possible...she's mostly just a bland, whiny teen, so no.
I also read Labor Day. I can't see Winslet winning, but a nom is possible. Main moments:
3. Not actually in the book, but
Brolin is possible as supporting, especially in a flashback sequence explaining how he got where he is. But the main lead is Gattlin Griffith, most famous for being the son in Angie's "I want MY son back! I want my son!" I'm unsure how good Reitman is with child actors, and I've never seen Changeling, but if he sucks he could blow the whole film. Or, Reitman could have restructured things to make him less of the main lead.

Meryl on Oscars: Y’see these little babies? These are my best f***ing friends
and they never let me down. Try to get ‘em away from me and I’ll eat you alive.
I thought Carol was in trouble but the producers just started sending casting calls. Hell yeah!![]()
No matter if she gets a nomination of not I just want to see another Chastain film.
Hilary Swank is going to have a banner year ... She will be nominated by GG, Emmy and SAG for Mary and Martha, has a baity role in post-production (You'r not you, but it's a G.C Wolfe and and Shanah Feste movie so I'm doubtfull about her awards chance for that) and The Homesman is now in pre-production on imdb, with a 2013 realise date. Could Tommy Lee Jones, Swank and Streep (three AMPAS favorites) be in the conversation this year ?
I get that Swank has 2 Oscars already, but since when is she an Academy favourite?![]()
