Winslet predicts 'Slumdog Millionaire' will scoop Oscar for Best Picture

Kate Winslet has predicted a Best Picture Oscar win for Danny Boyle's 'Slumdog Millionaire'.

Speaking at the annual Oscar Wilde party to honour the Irish in film, Kate said she believed the indie film would triumph over her movie 'The Reader', for which she’s nominated for Best Actress.

“I think Slumdog is going to win best film most likely, but 'The Reader' is in the same category and of course I have a secret hope,” confided the British actress.

“[But] I think that 'Slumdog Millionaire' will probably win.”
