She’s done it! Nominated five times previously and this award nomination was her sixth but Kate Winslet has achieved that dream and after what seems a life time of waiting has won an Oscar for “Best Actress” for her role in the Reader.
This is the picture the world wanted to see, The Oscars decided that this was Kate’s time and Kate’s dream became a reality and it couldn’t go to a more deserving person!
What makes this win evenmore noteworthy is the competition that she had to beat in order to win it including the likes of Meryl Streep, Angelina Jolie and Anne Hathaway, all putting in spellbinding performances in each of their film roles.
Her acceptance speech was a bit more restrained than her recent world famous award speeches although still understandably emotional , but was made in her typical down to earth style but the important people in her life were there including her husband Sam Mendes and her parents.
Penelope Cruz won the best supporting actress award and this win was a bit more of a dead certainty, with her unbelievable performance in the Woody Allen directed Film Vicky Christina Barcelona.
Full coverage of this event including arrivals, videos, photos and more will be later today. Our new site Femi Fame will be going live later today and will handle the overflow from this truly massive event.
