Kate Winslet Can’t Put Her Oscar Down

Still on cloud nine after being named best actress, Kate Winslet was spotted leaving a taping of The Oprah Winfrey show at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood on Monday morning (February 23).

The 33-year-old British beauty looked happy as she tightly grasped onto her Oscar statuette with two hands upon being led to an awaiting SUV.

My Oscar? It’s going in the loo says Kate

KATE Winslet wants to make another film with her husband, Sam Mendes. Kate starred in Revolutionary Road with Leonardo DiCaprio, which was directed by Mendes, but she won her Academy Award for The Reader, directed by Stephen Daldry and backed by Harvey Weinstein’s Weinstein film company.

This led to some highly stressed situations for the 33-year-old actress because, initially, Revolutionary Road was to have had the field to itself.

But Weinstein took a gamble – some saw it as a masterstroke, others had other words I can’t print here to describe it – and decided to release The Reader this season.

Kate Winslet defends right to cry

Oscar winner Kate Winslet has defended her right to cry when accepting film awards.

Kate Winslet has said she ‘doesn’t care’ about the criticism she has received in the press for being over-emotional when accepting awards. Though she was tear-free when she collected the Best Actress award at Sunday’s Oscars she was criticised heavily for crying earlier this year when collecting the same honour at the Screen Actor’s Guild Awards but she’s insisted she has no plans to change. “I really don’t care and quite frankly, I’m sad that my country can’t be pleased with the successes of their own kind, as the US does,” she told the Daily Telegraph. “I got through it, I didn’t blub, I remembered everybody and hopefully the Brits won’t be able to be mean to me.”
