You gotta love Kate Winslet she is such a charming Libra girl. Not only is she beautiful, she’s funny as hell. Well, she finally did it. After walking away empty-handed five times, Kate Winslet won an Oscar for her sixth nomination in 13 years. She told The Hollywood Reporter,  “Let me tell you, winning is really a lot better than losing,” she said. “A lot better.”

Winslet recently implied that she was going to stop doing nude scenes, so when asked which actor to whom she would most like to “pass the nude torch,” she responded, “I’m going to go for a woman, actually, and be really controversial.” After almost a full minute of thought, she simply said, “Susan Sarandon.” (Note to Kate: Rent “The Hunger.”) On the same subject, Winslet was asked how doing sex scenes for her husband-director in “Revolutionary Road” affected their relationship. “He’s used to it,” she said. “He’d seen me naked before I’d even met him, for God’s sake. The person who was most professional getting through the sexual scenes was Sam. I was pathetic, and he was absolutely brilliant. He’s just very accepting of it.”

She totally deserved the award, I think she’s the next Meryl Streep in the Oscar category. Both gracious and down to earth.
