In that movie she plays a woman with a secret Nazi past.

Congratulations!

Kate Winslet Gets Her Oscar
Gina Wilhelm Actress - Kate Winslet Gets Her Oscar
After much speculation and handicapping (I think I've posted at least 10 times about various aspects of the awards season alone), the Oscars were handed out last night, and Kate Winslet finally won hers.
The 33-year-old actress had been nominated on five previous occasions, so was giddy to have finally won.
She won for her performance in "The Reader," in which she played a woman on trial for Holocaust crimes.
Some had said that she would get an Oscar because it was time or because she had to age several years in the film and because the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences loves to reward movies about the Holocaust.
On the other hand, she was up against Meryl Streep, fresh off her record-setting 15th nomination and always tough competition.
Additionally, as reported here, there was some concern that her acceptance speech at the Golden Globes ceremony might have gotten her in trouble with Oscar voters.
In that speech, she forgot fellow nominee Angelina Jolie's name. She also acted like it actually mattered to her, a British actress, that she had gotten an award.
Some have said that the British are supposed to act like they're above receiving honors and that American voters wouldn't want to reward her for her excitement..
Apparently, though, the voters liked her just fine. She continued to be giddy with last night's win.

Has Kate Winslet "Blown Her Chances" at an Oscar?
Gina Wilhelm Actress - Has Kate Winslet "Blown Her Chances" at an Oscar?
Now that the Oscar nominations have come out, everyone is trying to figure out who's going to win.
Film critic Barry Norman thinks that Kate Winslet may have blown her chances at a win with her flustered Golden Globe acceptance speech.
In the speech, Winslet recognized the other women who were nominated in her category. Unfortunately, she forgot the name of Angelina Jolie.
In accepting the Golden Globe, Winslet said "I'm so sorry Anne, Meryl, Kristin - oh god, who's the other one... Angelina!"
Norman feels that between the unintended slight towards Jolie, Hollywood "royalty," and the fact that Winslet isn't American, she may very well have ruined her shot at winning the Oscar.
Though probably not connected, oddsmakers have shortened the odds that Meryl Streep will win the Oscar for her performance in "Doubt."

SAG Award Winners Announced
Gina Wilhelm Actress - SAG Award Winners Announced
The Screen Actors Guild awards were announced January 25th, and some very familiar faces were again recognized for their outstanding work.
Meryl Streep received an Actor award for her leading performance in "Doubt." Followers of this blog will remember that Streep has already achieved an Oscar milestone, having received a record 15 nominations.
Her SAG win could portend well for an Oscar.
However, the same could hold true for Kate Winslet, who already won Golden Globes for both lead actress and supporting actress and won a SAG award this weekend for her supporting performance in "The Reader."
The twist here is that her Golden Globe for "The Reader" was for supporting actress. Her lead actress award was for "Revolutionary Road."
For the Academy Awards, she received only a lead actress nomination (not one in each category), and that was for her "supporting" role in "The Reader."
When the Oscars are handed out, the actresses will be competing in the same category.

Can Kate Winslet Win Two Oscars This Year?
Gina Wilhelm Actress - Can Kate Winslet Win Two Oscars This Year?
Kate Winslet won two Golden Globes this year.
She was named best actress for her performance in "Revolutionary Road" and best supporting actress for "The Reader."
Now the question is whether she can repeat the feat at the Oscars.
Although there have been 11 times in the last 80 years that the same performer has received a leading and supporting nomination, no one has ever been able to take home both awards.
In fact, only one other person has managed to win two Golden Globes. In 1988, Sigourney Weaver won best actress for "Gorillas in the Mist" and best supporting actress for "Working Girl."
She didn't win either Oscar.
Now the LA Times is handicapping Winslet's chances of not only winning, but of being nominated for two Oscars.

Sally Hawkins Snubbed for a BAFTA Award
Gina Wilhelm Actress - Sally Hawkins Snubbed for a BAFTA Award
Despite her win at the Golden Globes for best actress in a comedy or musical, Sally Hawkins was left off the list of nominees for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts award for the best actress.
Instead, Kate Winslet received two nominations, one for "The Reader" and one for "Revolutionary Road."
Winslet won Golden Globes for both movies, but she was nominated as a lead actress for "Road" and as a supporting actress for "The Reader."
Sally Hawkins' performance had been widely hailed and is considered to be a top contender for a lead actress Oscar for her performance in "Happy-Go-Lucky." Roger Ebert had called her "a joy to behold."
Her director for the movie, Mike Leigh, was also left out of the nominations.

Kate Winslet and Tina Fey Win Golden Globes
Gina Wilhelm Actress - Kate Winslet and Tina Fey Win Golden Globes
The Golden Globe ceremony was held last night, January 11, 2009.
Despite an earlier web mistake, it was Kate Winslet, not Anne Hathaway, who took home the best actress in a drama award for her role in "Revolutionary Road."
Winslet also received a supporting actress award for her work in "The Reader."
On the television side of things, Tina Fey won best actress in a comedy series for her work on "30 Rock." The program, which she also writes and produces, won for best television musical or comedy.
The Golden Globes have a reputation for being fairly informal. Mickey Rourke (who won best actor in a drama for "The Wrestler") gave an acceptance speech littered with obscenity.
Fey told her internet critics to "suck it."
In her speech, Kate Winslet said she was unaccustomed to victory. She had been nominated for five previous Golden Globes, but never won.
Now it's on to the Oscars, where Winslet also has five nominations but no wins.

Actress Scott Thomas has Uphill Climb This Award Season
Gina Wilhelm Actress - Actress Scott Thomas has Uphill Climb This Award Season
According to the Los Angeles Times, women named Kate (or Cate) have it easy when it comes to film awards.
Katharine Hepburn was nominated for 12 Oscars. Kate Winslet was the youngest woman to get five nominations. Cate Blanchett has 5 nominations, too, and won a supporting actress Oscar-for playing Kate Hepburn.
Winslet and Blanchett are both up for awards again this year, as is Kate Beckinsale.
Emma Thompson has been nominated for a Golden Globe for her work in "Last Chance Harvey." Her character is named Kate, too.
Where does this leave Kristin Scott Thomas? This year she's brilliant as a woman released from prison after 15 years in "I've Loved You So Long," a French-language film.
Sadly, though, actress Scott Thomas doesn't play a Kate. Not even a Cate or a Kathryn. Instead, she's a "Juliette."
Ah well, at least she has that nomination from 1995 for "The English Patient."
Who did actress Scott Thomas play then? Oh, right: Katharine Clifton.
