Charlize could be set for the big-time

Critics have been talking about a ‘Nicole Kidman moment’ for best actress winner Charlize Theron, who won for her portrayal of a serial killer in Monster.

While winners don’t always go on to have A list careers (Whoopi Goldberg, Mira Sorvino and Hilary Swank, for example), top US film reviewer Roger Ebert is convinced that Theron will be following in the footsteps of Kidman, who won last year for The Hours.
