Winkleman: ‘Leave Kate Winslet alone’
Claudia Winkleman has defended Kate Winslet following recent criticism of her behaviour at award ceremonies.
Winslet was accused of being “over the top” when she became emotional at the Golden Globes in January. The actress went home with two awards at the ceremony, winning the best drama actress gong for Revolutionary Road and the best supporting actress prize for The Reader.
Earlier this month, the star put in a more restrained performance after winning the best actress award at the BAFTAs.
Winkleman has now admitted that all eyes will be on Winslet at the Academy Awards on Sunday night. The TV host is fronting Sky’s coverage of the ceremony, which could see the star walking away with her first Oscar.
“I think everyone has been unfair. This is her moment. Leave her alone,” Winkleman told the Daily Record. “At the Golden Globes she got up and showed how much it mattered to her.
“These awards really make a difference: what house they can buy, what roles they get offered, what money they can charge for each film. If she wins, she’ll be an Academy Award winner forever so she was really moved to get a Golden Globe.
“Then she came to the BAFTAs and was restrained and people say she didn’t show much emotion. The girl can’t win.”

Best Actress – Why it’s Kate Winslet
By Mark HarrisIt’s 11 days before the Academy Awards, and Kate Winslet is giving her third best performance of the year. The occasion is a lunch at New York City’s Oak Room at which 100 or so invited guests have gathered to honor her performance in Stephen Daldry’s The Reader. This particular publicity event, orchestrated in the 26th mile of the Oscar marathon, has multiple purposes: it’s designed to entice any wavering voters in the few days before the last postmark lands on the last ballot. It’s also intended to defuse complaints that the movie’s treatment of the Holocaust is too manicured. Thus, Elie Wiesel has been drafted to host the meal, which would have been a masterly counterstroke of damage control for distributor Harvey Weinstein had Wiesel not bailed at the last minute to attend — oh, bitter irony of the red-carpet campaign trail! — a bris.
But above all, this midday fete is engineered to give the movie’s star one final turn in the spotlight. By the time Winslet arrives, she has already participated in several hours of diligent self-exposure that day, illuminating for both Larry King and the women of The View the complexities of pretending to have sex with Leonardo DiCaprio in the bleak marital drama Revolutionary Road while the film’s director, Sam Mendes — her husband — watched.

Kate: Oscar But No Maid Marian
It’s a war of Kates — or Cates — as the search for Robin Hood’s Maid Marian continues.
I told you the other day about Sienna Miller leaving Nottingham, the Ridley Scott directed feature set to star Russell Crowe. The feeling was that petite, young Miller would seem dwarfed on screen by the older, beefier, Gladiator star.
Now comes word from sources that Kate Winslet, nominated for Best Actress in The Reader, has passed on the role of Maid Marian and the opportunity to spend quality time with Crowe, Scott and pals in the woods.

Give poor Kate a break
LAST Saturday, Kate Winslet was sitting in the garden of the Chateau Marmont hotel just off Sunset Boulevard. A party was going on; Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were there.
Kate had just arrived from the East Coast, one of her kids was sick and she was tired. She wondered aloud whether she’d win a Golden Globe the following evening and concluded that Penelope Cruz would win best supporting actress and either Meryl Streep or Anne Hathway would take the best dramatic actress crown.
She was philosophical about it. She and I have had many such conversations over the years.

Kate Winslet – InStyle February 2009
Kate Winslet looks better than ever in Herve Leger on the February 2009 cover of InStyle. Here’s what the 33-year-old British beauty opened up about:
On not wanting plastic surgery: “I’m a normal human being. I don’t have any desire to change my body as a result of having had two kids. That’s a good thing, isn’t it?†(Oprah told Kate earlier this week: “God bless your real breasts.â€
On how Hollywood has changed these past few years: “There is so much access to celebrity that it’s become harder to hold on to any mystery as an actress. The audience can have a fixed idea of you in their head.â€
On not wanting to be referred to as a movie star: “I don’t feel like [one] in my life at all, and I don’t particularly think I behave like one. I don’t have my own plane. I don’t have a chef of a trainer. To me, you’re a movie star only during the time when you’re at the Academy Awards or at an important glamorous event. It’s very much a hat that you wear, and as soon as the event’s over, that hat comes off. I’m back to being me and being Mommy, and that’s my priority.â€
On not having a natural impulse to pamper herself: “Literally, the one maybe celeb-y thing I do is the occasional facial. That is the only indulgent thing, where I just lie there and relax for an hour. You can’t answer the phone. You can’t get up and make soup. You’ve just got to lie there and have somebody make you feel nice.â€
