Oscar watch: nominees' lunch 2009

Kate Winslet
In his review of Revolutionary Road last week, Peter Bradshaw compared Kate Winslet to a Roman statue, perhaps 'the gigantic marble head of Faustina the Elder, famously unearthed with the colossal statue of Hadrian in Turkey last year'. But which ancient relic does she most resemble here? (You'll have to imagine her with her nose bashed off) Photograph: Rex Features
