I screamed "YESS!!" in reaction to her winning. Sugar jumped straight up and ran towards me, and landed on my lap. LOL.
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - British actress Kate Winslet won her first Oscar on Sunday for her portrayal of a German woman with a secret Nazi past in the romantic drama "The Reader."
"Titanic" star Winslet, 33, was Oscar-nominated five times in the past 13 years years but had always returned home empty-handed.
Her best actress Oscar joins two Golden Globes, a Screen Actors Guild award, a British BAFTA and a handful of U.S. critics awards that Winslet has won this season.
"To the academy thank you so much. My God," she said.
In addition to her acclaimed turn in "The Reader," she won plaudits for her performance as a disillusioned housewife in "Revolutionary Road." The two films were released only weeks apart.
I loved the shampoo bottle comment about how she used to practice her Oscar speech as a child and then her dad Whistling for her.
