The Kate Winslet episode is sort of ironic now that she is in The Reader and it's the big Oscar baiting holocaust movie this year. Since the episode she was in satirized actors who make holocaust movies just to get Oscars.

Thanks, I thought I was the only one who thought this. It will be a real scream if she stars in a movie next as someone with mental retardation or cerebral palsy. Of course, after Tropic Thunder it will be hard for actors to play a retarded character.

Well, even if she doesn't, we'll always have the glorious moment when Ricky Gervais showed up on the Golden Globes stage and said: "Well done, Winslet! I told you: do a Holocaust movie and the awards start coming!". Brilliant.
How you doin'?

No, she plays a woman with cerebral palsy who wants to dance with the New York Ballet, here comes Oscar gold. You know if Winslet wins for The Reader(which is a soulless piece of Oscar bait made simply to win awards) her speech from the episode where she says, "You do a holocaust movie, you're guaranteed an Oscar" is going to be posted on every entertainment news web site and blog. My God, Gervais and Merchant really are geniuses.

Plus, it's "written" by Patrick Stewart! Anyway, getting back to the original subject, in case Winslet doesn't win (Oscars aren't an exact science, after all), the next thing she should do to be "guaranteed" an award is to play a mental - in WWII Germany! That way she'll definitely win
How you doin'?

kate winslet's "extras" episode was one of the funniest moments of that show's season.
i haven't seen "the reader," but i did see "revolutionary road," and she deserves some kind of award for her performance in that picture.
i also just recently saw "holy smoke" again and, even though that film gets bad reviews, i love her in it. i also like the fact that she's never had a problem with tastefully done frontal nudity (as in "hideous kinky"), either
