Kate Winslet wins Golden Globe supporting actress
AFP - Monday, January 12
BEVERLY HILLS, California (AFP) - - Kate Winslet won the first award at the 66th Golden Globes here Sunday, taking best supporting actress for her portrayal of a Nazi death camp guard in "The Reader".
Winslet, 33, who had been nominated at the Globes on five previous occasions, beat out Penelope Cruz ("Vicky Cristina Barcelona"), Marisa Tomei ("The Wrestler") and "Doubt" co-stars Amy Adams and Viola Davis.
"I have a habit of not winning things," Winslet acknowledged in her acceptance speech. "I'm in shock ... To my children who are watching on TV: look: I won!"
Winslet also paid tribute to the film's director Stephen Daldry as well as co-producers Sydney Pollack and Anthony Minghella, who both died before the film was completed.
Winslet is also in the running to add to her trophy haul later Sunday -- she is nominated in the best actress category for her performance in "Revolutionary Road," directed by her husband Sam Mendes.
The race for honors at next month's Oscars is in overdrive as a galaxy of stars descended on Beverly Hills for the awards.
After a disastrous event last year that was reduced to a celebrity-free zone by the entertainment industry's writers strike, this year's red carpet parade will read like a who's who of the movie industry's A-list.
Brad Pitt, Kate Winslet, Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie, Clint Eastwood, Leonardo DiCaprio and Meryl Streep are just a few of the Hollywood heavyweights vying for awards at the Globes, regarded as second only to the Academy Awards which take place on February 22.
Pitt is up for best actor for his performance as a man who ages in reverse in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," which along with "Frost/Nixon" and "Doubt" goes into the event with five nominations.
"Benjamin Button" and "Frost/Nixon" are regarded as strong Oscars contenders with nods in the key categories of best drama, best director and best actor.
However awards season pundits believe "Benjamin Button" could be pipped for best drama honors by "Slumdog Millionaire."
British director Danny Boyle's riotous feel-good flick tells the story of a boy who rises from crushing poverty in Mumbai to find fame and fortune on India's version of the television quiz show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?"
