I believe it's the timeless of the message because, it depends on how much you've written. For example, Amanda wrote a 7 paragraph long essay, and took at least 2 1/2 hours to read it. This is an example to prove that no matter how much you've written your time to read cannot always be timeless!!! Hope this helps!!!
Assuming that the bolded word is winner, the correct answer is object complement.
The word winner refers to the word <em>play - </em>and given that the word play is the direct object of this sentence, then the word <em>winner </em>will be its complement - it will complete it, and answer the question What did the critics declare the play to be?
It cannot be a predicate nominative because it is not preceded by a verb. It cannot be a direct object because that is <em>the play. </em>It cannot be a predicate adjective because it is a noun, not an adjective.
