Kate Winslet was the belle of the ball last night at the 81st Academy Awards. I was hoping that she would finally win after all these years, and for once I was actually right. Kate won the Best Actress Oscar for her role in The Reader. I still have yet to see the movie, but from what I have heard it’s amazing.

Kate could barely contain her excitement on stage or off, when asked what she thought about the win she answered…

“A dream is a dream. The nightmare never kicks in. I thought it was a fantasy - it is starting to sink in right now. Oh my God. I won an Oscar.”

While accepting the Oscar she said…

“I think I was probably eight years old and staring into the bathroom mirror, and this would have been a shampoo bottle. Well, it’s not a shampoo bottle now!”

I don’t remember doing that when I was younger. But I am glad she can finally practise in front of her mirror with the real thing now.
