Kate Winslet's Golden Globes Speech Kicks Off the Blabbing
Haven't these people at the Golden Globes been warned?

BEVERLY HILLS, CA - JANUARY 15: Actress Kate Winslet poses in the press room with the Best Performance by an Actress in a Mini-Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television award for 'Mildred Pierce' at the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on January 15, 2012 in Beverly Hills, California.

The Golden Globes, unlike the Oscars, run a tight ship, committed to wrapping things up in their allotted three hours. But well before the first hour was over, the evening's winners were making it tough.
Kate Winslet, who previously won two Globes for her work in 2009's "The Reader," and thus should know better, took the stage to accept the Best Actress in a Miniseries or TV Film award, for her work in "Mildred Pierce."
Winslet was effusive in her gratitude for director Todd Haynes, but she was only warming up, as she launched into a litany of thanks that literally included everyone involved, right on down to the truck drivers. Before you could shout, "Cue the orchestra!" the music began to swell up from the pit.
Gervais was clearly prepared for the occasion as the next time he took the stage, he advised winners to keep their "thank yous" to a minimum.
"Just do the main two: your agent and God… I know in my case they've had the same amount of impact on my career."
But his advice fell on deaf ears, as "Homeland" writer/developer Howard Gordon blathered on long enough to strike up the band. Moments later Gordon was followed by Ludovic Bource, who'd just won Best Score for "The Artist." You'd think a guy who won for a silent film would be able to keep it brief, and yet...
And then the Material Girl herself, Madonna, was dumbstruck in accepting Best Original Song, taking a good 10 seconds to get started, before prattling on and on, even speaking over the progressively louder orchestra for about 15 seconds.

Double Nominee Kate Winslet Stuns on the Globes Red Carpet

Kate Winslet was decked out in a white and black gown for tonight's Golden Globe Awards in LA. She's up for two awards tonight with a nod in both TV and film categories. Kate's role in Roman Polanski's Carnage earned her a nomination in the best actress in a musical or comedy category, and she's also getting recognition in the best actress in a miniseries or made for TV film category for her performance in HBO's Mildred Pierce. It's likely Kate will run into her Titanic costar, and fellow nominee, Leonardo DiCaprio during the show — the pair will be reuniting on the big screen later this year when their classic James Cameron film is rereleased in 3D! Stay tuned for more red carpet coverage and be sure to vote on all of Fab and Bella's fashion and beauty polls!

Golden Globes: Kate Winslet says she wants to play a man
January 15, 2012 | 6:15 pm
Reporters backstage at award shows oftentimes ask off-topic questions. Kate Winslet was caught off-guard by one on Sunday night at the Golden Globes after accepting a statuette for her performance in the TV miniseries "Mildred Pierce."
"Kate -- would you consider playing Elizabeth Taylor? And what do you think about the fact that Lindsay Lohan wants to play her?" (Last week, it was reported that Lohan was in talks to play Taylor in a Lifetime movie about the screen icon's romance with Richard Burton.)
"Oh my gosh, I'll decline to comment, actually, because that's the first I've heard of that," Winslet said, brushing off the question. "I'm not gonna go there, dude. It's a bit of a hot zone, I think."
Winslet did comment, however, on another difficult role she'd like to tackle: a man.
"I don't know what kind of man, and I don't know if that would happen or not, but I would be very interested in that because I think that would be the ultimate challenge," she revealed. (Perhaps she can chat after the Globes with Glenn Close, who tackles the challenge in "Albert Nobbs.")
"Mildred Pierce," which Winslet took home a prize for Sunday night, was its own sort of challenge. But the actress did take some positive things away from the experience, she said -- including the ability to cook a chicken.
"My take home from 'Mildred' was that I was taught to section up a chicken by ["Top Chef's"] Tom Collichio at his apartment in New York," she said. "He used a technique which is old-fashioned deliberately. It wasn't too restaurant-style, it wasn't too polished."

Kate Winslet Reveals Dreams to Play a Man and Liz Taylor in Golden Globes Press Room

Kate Winslet stepped back into the Golden Globes press room shortly after accepting the latest statue for her collection. She won for her work in Mildred Pierce, but backstage, talk turned to future roles. She apparently has her eye on playing Elizabeth Taylor as well as taking on the part of a man someday. Plus, Kate told us why roast chicken became a favorite in her household:
On the rumors both she and Lindsay Lohan want to play Elizabeth Taylor: "I think I’ll decline to comment, that’s the first I’ve heard of that story. It’s a massive undertaking for anybody who should be fortunate enough to get that part. I’m not gonna go there, dude!"
On dream future roles: "I would like to someday play a man. That is something that I do know. I don’t know what kind of man. I don’t know whether that would ever happen or not. That would be the ultimate challenge."
On learning to cook for the part: "I was taught to section up a chicken by Tom Colicchio! He used a technique that was quite old-fashioned so it married up. My children were eating a lot of chicken!"
On how Ricky Gervais is doing as a host: "He seems to be doing absolutely fine. I’ve been back here for about the past half-hour, so unless he’s fallen over or started drinking too much, I think he’s doing OK."
Best fashion advice she's ever received: "Wear something that I feel comfortable in, not to wear something just because someone else is telling me to. I think that is true of life as well."

Golden Globes: One Small Step for Kate Winslet, One Giant Leap for Adaptations
January 16, 2012
By Tom Blunt
As much fun as it was to read along while Twitter users live-blogged the Golden Globes, there were a few moments of the broadcast that were actually worth watching on TV, especially with regard to adapted works.
Kate Winslet captured a Best Actress award for the title role in HBO’s Mildred Pierce miniseries. Between her Golden Globe and Joan Crawford’s Oscar statuette, it seems there’s something magical about the role. I’m sure Willow Smith will fare just as well in “Mildred Fierce: A Hip-Hopera” in 2037. Sadly, Evan Rachel Wood lost the supporting actress statuette to Jessica Lange, and based on what I saw in “Titus,” I’d advise against trying to take it away from her. Over in the motion picture category, however, Octavia Spencer snagged one for herself (as generally predicted) thanks to her performance in “The Help.”
On the men’s side, Peter Dinklage got the gold for his supporting role in the “Game of Thrones” adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series, and George Clooney reigned over the big awards in his category, bringing home best actor and best picture (dramatic) for “The Descendants” (and used his speech mainly to pique everyone’s curiosity about Michael Fassbender’s anatomy). Of course, that’s really a win for Kaui Hart Hemmings, who wrote the book that the film was based on.
Shut out entirely were adaptations of We Need to Talk About Kevin, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, and A Dangerous Method. There’s still a chance that these films and more will pull a sneak attack when Oscar nominations are announced later this month.

Kate Winslet dedicates Golden Globe to children
On a night of glory for British actors at the Golden Globes, Kate Winslet led the charge winning Best Television Actress for her role in Mildred Pierce.
Taking to the stage in a cascading monochrome gown, the English rose dedicated her award to her two kids.
"I share this with my beautiful children Mia and Joe who light up my life every day, I'm so proud to be their mum," she said.
"I'd like to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press for giving this award to me and for putting me in a category with such incredible heavyweights whom I feel honoured to stand alongside" she continued.
Small screen phenomenon Downtown Abbey was also recognised in the best mini-series for Television category.
The show's creator, Julian Fellowes, said: "How fabulous this is. The whole Downton adventure has been an extraordinary one."

British invasion! Kate Winslet, Idris Elba and Downton Abbey earn gongs at the Golden Globes

o
It was a triumphant night for Brits at the Golden Globes, with Kate Winslet, Idris Elba and hit TV show Downton Abbey all scoring top honours.
Winslet won the gong for Best Actress in a Miniseries or TV Movie for her role in Mildred Pierce.
Taking to the stage, a composed Kate told the crowd: 'I'd like to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press for giving this award to me and for putting me in a category with such incredible heavyweights whom I feel honoured to stand alongside.'
Flying the flag: British star Kate Winslet won best actress for a miniseries or movie for her role in Mildred Pierce at the Golden Globes
She's a winner: Kate Winslet gets a congratulatory kiss from new boyfriend Ned Rocknroll as she wins a Golden Globe
In the spotlight: The star kissed and hugged Ned as it was announced she had won Best Actress in a TV series or TV movie for her role in Mildred Pierce
She had earlier walked the red carpet in a stylish black and white gown by Jenny Packham, Roger Vivier shoes, and Fred Leighton jewels.
She dedicated her award to her 11-year-old daughter and 8-year-old son, but made no mention of her new beau, Ned Rocknroll.
But he was sat beside her throughout the ceremony and was the first to congratulate her with a kiss.
'I share this with my beautiful children Mia and Joe who light up my life every day, I'm so proud to their mum,' she said.
Stylish: Kate won a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Mini-series or Motion Picture Made for Television for her role in the HBO remake of classic film Mildred Pierce
Games Of Thrones actor Peter Dinklage won best supporting actor, for a TV miniseries drama.
In his acceptance speech he revealed how his mother kept him grounded: 'I was talking to my mother in Jersey before I came out, and she said, 'Have fun, but have you seen "Mildred Pierce"? Guy Pearce is so good. He's going to win.'
So I haven't seen Mildred Pierce but I'm sure it's really good, and I just love our moms because they keep us humble.'
And he ended it on a serious note. The "Game of Thrones" star gave a shout-out to fellow dwarf Martin Henderson but, rather then elaborating, he just said 'Google him.'
Within minutes, Henderson's name was a trending topic on Twitter.
The aspiring actor was partially paralysed on his birthday after a drunk stranger picked him up and threw him while he was having a cigarette outside a pub.
Henderson blamed the English rugby team players who recently attended a dwarf-tossing contest during the rugby World Cup in New Zealand for inspiring the attack. The Daily Mail reported that he now faces life in a wheelchair after the incident.
Henderson was recovering from a 2010 back injury but has said that this injury has set him back in his recuperation.

Anyone for another dramatic Kate Winslet acceptance speech?

Kate takes to the stage. Everyone get the tissues ready
If Kate Winslet ever did an acceptance speech that didn't involve a bit of dramatic breathing/ looking overwhelmed/ good amount of cheese, we'd bewell disappointed. Which is why this morning we are feeling positively not disappointed, because Kate has delivered again. Thanks Kate Winslet.
Kate won the award for Best Actress in a Mini Series for her role in Mildred Pierce. When her name was called, she took to the stage to deliver a tear-free, but pretty slushy acceptance speech where she appeared to be struggling to breathe properly. Though that might have been the stairs - we've all been there.
Firstof all she thanked the organisers of the awards for 'putting me in a category with heavyweight actresses that I am honoured to stand alongside' - despite the fact she's won two Golden Globes before, forThe Reader and Revolutionary Road so to be honest, is pretty heavyweight (in a non boxing way) herself.
Kate also said thanked producers for 'giving me this part, thank you for giving me this experience' before going on to list everyone who worked on the TV series.
Want a look at the breathy video? It sounds rude, but it isn't so you can watch it in work
Kate attended the awards with her boyfriend, the brilliantly-named Ned Rocknroll, who is Richard Branson's nephew. Despite the fact that they've been together since August last year, Kate and Ned hadn't appeared together in public before, so that was quite exciting. Ned gave her a supportive little kiss when she won her award too.
A night with Ned Rocknroll - unlikely to end in a tea and an early night, we'd imagine
Despite that, Kate didn't dedicate her award to him, but instead to her kids (er, quite right too), who she said 'light up my life'.
Kate *breathe* won *breathe* an award *BREATHE*
"I share this with my beautiful children Mia and Joe who light up my life every day," she said. "I am so proud to be their mum and I share this with them."
Bet they'd rather you shared sweets with them, since they are kids, but you know - a Golden Globe will do.

GG: Best Actress - Musical/Comedy - Kate Winslet
27 December 2011
Name: Kate Winslet
Age: 36
Character: Nancy Cowan in Carnage
Film: Carnage is a razor sharp, biting comedy centred on parental differences. After two boys duke it out on a playground, the parents of the "victim" invite the parents of the "bully" over to work out their issues.
A polite discussion of childrearing soon escalates into verbal warfare, with all four parents revealing their true colours. None of them will escape the carnage.
Previous Golden Globe Wins: Winslet has two other Golden Globe wins: Best Actress for Revolutionary Road and Best Supporting Actress for the Reader
Previous Golden Globe Nominations: She also has six other nominations: Best Supporting Actress of Sense and Sensibility, Best Actress in Miniseries or TV Movie for Mildred Pierce.
She has four Best Actress nods for Titanic, Little Children, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Iris
Award/Nominations for role: Winslet has picked up Best Ensemble nominations at the Boston Society film Critics Awards, Detroit Critics Society Awards and Satellite Awards
Critics: “An actor's playground, with Winslet and Foster practically leaping off the screen with the fearsome ridiculousness of their performances” - Filmcritics.com
“Scathing and funny and cynical about contemporary society and the hypocritical way we live now, Carnage may not be the dream movie I expected, but it has a dream cast of pure, unimpeachable ensemble perfection.” - New York Observer
