It's November, which means it's officially time to think about the Oscars. People are already placing bets on the top performances even if they haven't seen them yet (think the soon-to-be-released and highly-anticipated 'Nine'). There are some actors who have been on the road to Oscardom ever since they began emoting; others found a way out of their earlier career mishaps and have reinvented themselves into serious actors. Popeater looks at the "best of the best" and asks the critics to weigh in.

Robin Wright Penn thinks her career will benefit from her impending divorce from Sean Penn.

The 'Forrest Gump' actress – who filed for divorce from the Oscar-winning actor in August citing "irreconcilable differences" – is keen to focus on acting now she is single and the couple's children, Dylan, 18, and 16-year-old Hopper, are older.

She told Redbook magazine: "I turned down so many films because I wanted to be a mom that they stopped offering. I gave up a lot for my kids, but I didn't give up...I'm very content with the way it all turned out."

Barely done filing his divorce papers, Sean Penn has been spotted around Manhattan with his alleged, new girlfriend Jessica White. Penn, 49, and White, 25, had dinner at Hotel Griffou before heading to the Mercer Hotel. "They were holding hands. They seemed really into each other," a source told PEOPLE. "She was laying on him. She was laying on his shoulder. They were lounging around. He seemed really into her."

Robin Wright Penn and Sean Penn are getting a divorce -- for real this time, OK?

The actress filed papers in Marin County, CA, that state that "both parties have already agreed to [shared] custody" and "the estranged couple have already agreed to division of all property," PEOPLE reports.
