Oscar chiefs are reportedly worrying about the shortage of women eligible to win the Best Actress gong at next February’s ceremony.
Academy insiders fear there are simply not enough “good” lead roles by women for voters to choose the winner from.
Kate Winslet won the award at this year’s ceremony for her role in The Reader.
One Academy insider said: “It’s only just dawning that there’s a distinct lack of potentials in the Best Actress category.
“Not that there have been terrible performances, far from it, it’s just that there have been few good leading roles for women.”
He added: “It’s been a pretty lacklustre year for movies in general but it seems that no one wrote any decent lead roles for women.”
He continued: “It looks like Meryl Streep may do it again as she has played the lead to acclaim in two films out this year.”
