An Ode to Kate Winslet



I tend to end up disliking most actors / actresses after they've been in a certain number of films, because let's face it, most of them have a shelf life - not Kate Winslet. She's Awesome. She was just as awesome before she won both Golden Globes, and she'll be equally awesome in 10 years. Trust me. She also really deserved those two awards the other night because she's been snubbed sooo hard in the past. She was nominated for 5 Oscars and 5 Golden Globes (as well as a ton of other awards she didn't win) for some kick-ass performances.

The one I'm most bugged about her not winning was the Emmy for her guest appearance on Extras. Hilariously enough, as Ricky Gervais pointed out at the Golden Globes (and a reference to a line of Winslet's from Extras), if you do a movie about the Holocaust, the awards will follow. Clever girl, Kate Winslet, clever girl.
