Kate Winslet Wins At 81st Annual Academy Awards

If I was Kate Winslet, someone who probably knew beforehand she would be walking home with an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role in “The Reader,” I might have dressed a little better.  Her face and make-up look stunning, but the dress could have used something to keep it looking like she enlisted a college intern to make her dress.

No biggie though.  Ultimately, it’s what you say on stage before the orchestra kicks you off that makes a difference, right?

Winslet was giddy and emotional as she accepted her trophy.

“I’d be lying if I haven’t made a version of this speech before,” she said. “I think I was probably 8 years old and staring into the bathroom mirror and this (Oscar) would be a shampoo bottle. But it’s not a shampoo bottle now.”

Well she screwed that one up for me.  If she’s been practicing since coming out of the womb, then she definately could have worn a better dress.
