Oscars 2008

Best Actress in a Leading Role
Away From Her

THE ROLE So far this icon seems to be following in the steps of her fellow Brit, Helen Mirren, who scooped up awards left and right last year for her title role in The Queen. Christie's portrayal of a wife who succumbs to Alzheimers and starts a romantic relationship while still married has already won her a Golden Globe.

HER RED-CARPET STYLE This 66-year-old shows no signs of slowing down, especially in her attire, which still includes short dresses and deep necklines.
