Kate Finally Wins!!!
Should have posted this yesterday. True, she actually did win the Broadcast Critic's Award as Best Supporting Actress for The Reader this past Thursday, but winning two Golden Globes in a night like this was just amazing. And I won't deny being awfully moved by her acceptance speeches (especially the shoutout to Leo - those two are just adorable!) I'm just so happy that she finally got a moment in the sun! I'm no longer as concerned with whether she wins an Oscar (it will happen, if not this year, then eventually) because at least she's won something now. I can sleep.

She was really adorable. I find it a little bit shocking though that at this point in her career she hasn't racked up tons of those wins? Really. My favorite part is how she says her daughter's name. MiaR
All the years she's been nominated for major awards, she's been up against stiff competition. Not usually better actresses than she is, but actresses who just gave the performance of their career. For example:
Lost Supporting Actress to Mira Sorvino (Mighty Aphrodite) in 1995.
Lost Best Actress to Helen Hunt (As Good as It Gets) in 1997.
Lost Supporting Actress to Jennifer Connoly (A Beautiful Mind) in 2001.
Lost Best Actress to Hilary Swank (Million Dollar Baby) in 2004.
And lost Best Actress to Helen Mirren (The Queen) in 2006.
In the case of the first 3, these are actresses who won on their first nomination for one stunning performance, and in the case of Mirren and Swank, Winslet lost to actresses giving the defining performance of their careers.
