Continuing along on the road to the Oscars, Kate Winslet was on hand for the 24th Annual Santa Barbara Film Festival in Santa Barbara, California on Friday night (January 23).
The “Titanic” temptress lit up the Arlington Theatre, wearing a sexy black body-hugging dress with white accents, her hair loosely pulled back in a knot and minimal makeup.

Kate Winslet?s got a lock on the Best Actress Oscar for her role in The Reader, but her film Revolutionary Road was snubbed. Still, Kate is a complete professional, and she and her on-screen husband Leonardo DiCaprio have been promoting the hell out of the film, directed by her real-life husband Sam Mendes. The two actors have been spending so much time with each other that Kate?s gotten confused as to who she is actually married to.
British actress Kate Winslet says she spends so much time talking about Leonardo DiCaprio she’s starting to confuse him with her real husband, Sam Mendes.
Winslet is in the U.K. promoting the movie “Revolutionary Road,” which Mendes directed. The film reunites her with her “Titanic” co-star and longtime friend DiCaprio.
The duo’s reunion more than a decade after the melodramatic blockbuster was hotly anticipated, and both have been peppered with questions over whether their on-screen chemistry is still as strong.
Winslet told Britain’s GMTV Monday that DiCaprio “feels more like my husband than my real husband, I have to say. I’m talking about him so much!”

Am I alone is sort of wishing Winslet would leave her husband for Leo? Those two really do seem to love each other in a very deep, meaningful way. When Winslet got up to accept her Golden Globe for Revolutionary Road, she cried and spoke directly to Leo, in the audience, saying how much she loved him and how much their friendship has meant. Even Leo looked like he was near tears. Both Kate and Leo have consistently maintained that they are each other?s favorite actors, favorite screen kiss, et cetera. Leo even told Oprah once that Kate is ?his girl?.
Russell Crowe, however, is not Kate’s favorite. Fox News is reporting that Winslet was offered the role of Maid Marian to Russell Crowe?s (bloated) Robin Hood. This was the role that Sienna Miller was supposed to play, but Sienna was either pushed out or quit. There were some mutterings about Russell?s intemperate behavior and his rapidly-expanding size.
It’s a war of Kates ? or Cates ? as the search for Robin Hood?s Maid Marian continues.
I told you the other day about Sienna Miller leaving “Nottingham,” the Ridley Scott directed feature set to star Russell Crowe. The feeling was that petite, young Miller would seem dwarfed on screen by the older, beefier, “Gladiator” star.
Now comes word from sources that Kate Winslet, nominated for Best Actress in “The Reader,” has passed on the role of Maid Marian and the opportunity to spend quality time with Crowe, Scott and pals in the woods.
A new offer has just gone out to Cate Blanchett, I am told, but the answer is likely to come back negative. Blanchett is likely too expensive and too serious to get involved in this venture. An Oscar winner herself for The Aviator in the Best Supporting Actress category, Blanchett also has to set her sight her sights on a Best Actress win. Plus, she already did her action thing with the recent “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.”
Producers are mulling a back up plan, I?m told, waiting to make an offer to Rachel Weisz. This seems almost perfect, as Weisz may be the right price and just at the right point in her career to have “Nottingham” make a difference in upping her profile. And if she doesn?t take it, my suggestion to the producers is Jennifer Ehle. But no one asked me!
[From Fox News]
Rachel Weisz would be a good choice. I approve. I?m not really eager to see Winslet and Crowe share the screen - I don?t know why, they just wouldn?t seem right together. Probably because she needs to be with Leo!

Quick to speak up about her just-announced Oscar nomination, Kate Winslet is “thrilled” to be one of the names in the Best Actress category during this year’s Academy Awards ceremony on February 22.
“I’m extremely happy to have been nominated. And very fortunate,” Kate told press in a statement released after her nomination was announced. “Playing Hanna Schmitz will always remain one of the biggest challenges I’ve ever been blessed with.”

I might have to turn in my Brangeloonie Badge, because even I doubted that Brangelina?s Oscar campaign would work. Sure, Brad and Angelina approached the campaign differently this year - they turned on the charm, they showed off the babies and Brad?s parents, they were good film-promoting soldiers for all of their films. They gave many, many interviews, and Brad even made a trip to Oprah, always a good sign.
Brad Pitt’s Benjamin Button ruled over all nominees, with 13 in total, including a nod to the title hunk and to Taraji P. Henson in the Supporting Actress category.
It’s got to be a happy morning in the Brangelina household, as Brad’s babymama Angelina Jolie was also recognized for her work in the Clint Eastwood-directed film The Changeling. This is Angie’s first nomination since her Supporting Actress win for Girl, Interrupted.
From OK! Magazine
Still, I prepared myself for one or both of them to be snubbed. Did the Academy feel that they needed to rectify last year?s snub for Angelina?s role in A Mighty Heart? Is The Curious Case of Benjamin Button really that great a movie? Is Clint Eastwood still the best guy to know in Hollywood? A case could be made for Clint Eastwood?s influence, actually. He?s the stamp of approval for mainstream Hollywood. And it didn?t hurt that Brad and Angelina made multiple private and public appearance with Eastwood and his wife Dina throughout the year. The Academy took notice.
The question arises, however, exactly what are their chances for a victory on February 22? They?ll both probably go home empty handed. Kate Winslet?s pretty much got Best Actress locked up, and either Mickey Rourke or Sean Pean have the best chance at Best Actor. There?s always a possibility that Brad could surge at the end of this now formal Oscar campaign - Benjamin Button is the nomination leader, and Penn and Rourke could split the vote, giving the award to Brad. But for now, I think Brangelina should just be content with their successful Oscar campaign - they earned this victory the hard way!

Kate Winslet showed up to the UK premiere of “Revolutionary Road” in this daring ensemble, which displays the sort of reverse cleavage usually reserved for adult film stars on the red carpet at the AVN Awards. “Bottom boob,” as I like to call it, seems far more risque than the standard top-half cleavage. Nothing puts a fresh spin on tits like seeing them from a different angle! Which is precisely why I’ve cut out the center of most of my t-shirts to display the girls stocks-and-pillory style. Look, they’ve been naughty! We’re ready for a good lashing from the local magistrate!

Brangelina will take their nomination-and-losing streak to Britain! Thursday, the couple were nominated for BAFTAs, the British Academy Awards. Brad Pitt was even nominated twice - one for Best Actor (for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) and for Best Supporting Actor (for Burn After Reading). La Jolie only got the one nomination for Changeling.
They?ve started airing the BAFTAs on American television the past few years, usually on E!, and I quite like the ceremony. People get as dressed up as the Oscars, but usually in warmer gowns or suits. There?s the feeling that the British film community is significantly smaller than Hollywood, and of course British artists are usually given preference when the awards are handed out. That means that double-nominee Kate Winslet is most likely a lock on one or both of her categories.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt travel well ? the couple are up for major prizes at the British equivalent of the Oscars: the Orange British Academy Film Awards.
Mirroring their Golden Globe and SAG Award distinctions, Jolie has been nominated as best leading actress for her role in director Clint Eastwood’s Changeling, while Pitt has a nod for leading actor in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, it was announced Thursday.
Pitt, in fact, is a double-nominee. He’s also in the running as best supporting actor in the Coen Brothers’ Burn After Reading ? meaning he’ll face competition from Golden Globe-winning Dark Knight costar Heath Ledger.
Double Globe winner Kate Winslet is also competing against herself at the BAFTAs, with two nominations for best actress ? in Revolutionary Road and The Reader. (She is similarly nominated for the SAG Award.)
Best picture at the Globes, Slumdog Millionaire, is in the running for best movie of the year, along with Benjamin Button, Frost/Nixon, Milk and The Reader.
Winners will be announced at London’s Royal Opera House Feb. 8.
From People
What?s always interesting is who didn?t get the nomination. British actress Sally Hawkins, a Golden Globe best actress (comedy) winner for Happy Go Lucky got snubbed, as did her director Mike Leigh and the film itself. English actor Michael Sheen, who plays David Frost in Frost/Nixon also failed to secure a nomination. In Sheen?s case, there?s already some press that the BAFTAs have an ?anti-Welsh? bias. For reals? Sheen is Welsh? And that matters to Brits? Also snubbed: director Christopher Nolan, the British director of The Dark Knight. What in the world is happening in Britain?

Kate Winslet has received a lot of press over the years, mostly good, for her willingness to take off her clothes for a role. And she always seems so natural when she’s naked on screen. She’s not afraid to look blotchy when she’s crying or to flash her cellulite. She owns her body, and even as she is beginning to age, she still has a beautiful and natural figure that’s hard to ignore. After winning two Golden Globes for best actress in The Reader and Revolutionary Road, Oprah complimented Kate on her natural breasts.
“I love the fact that you have real breasts, ’cause in all the breast scenes, your breasts do what real breasts do,” she said Tuesday on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
“There’s that wonderful thing, you know, if you are a woman, you’re lying on your back, your breasts they go to ? they part ? but if you look at a woman with not real breasts, their breasts are sticking straight up,” she told the actress, who won two Golden Globes Sunday. “That’s how you know. God bless your real breasts!”

When filming The Reader, Kate refused to use a body double and took a very healthy attitude to baring her body:
The British actress appears naked in her new film The Reader but refused to use a body double or lose weight for the scenes, wanting a completely realistic look for her character.
Describing her own body, Kate admits to having aged, but maintains she is proud of her flawed physique, saying: ?Here we go, I have a crumble baby belly, boobs are worse for wear after two kids? I?m doing all right. I?m 33. I don?t look in the mirror and go, ?Oh, I look fantastic!? Of course I don?t.
?Nobody is perfect. I just don?t believe in perfection. But I do believe in saying, ?This is who I am and look at me not being perfect!? I?m proud of that.?
[from Sydney Morning Herald]
Halle Berry also recently complimented Kate’s body, saying that she wishes she, too, had the guts to get naked on screen more often. Although it’s a bit hard to feel sorry for Halle Berry’s body issues, Kate does offer an alternative to the typical Hollywood look. After having children, most actresses choose to cover up for their roles, go crazy about losing their baby weight, and hire personal trainers. If the tabloids are to be believed, having a baby shouldn’t change your body and if you don’t get down to pre-baby weight immediately, it means that you’re just not trying hard enough. Kate not only speaks out about these standards, but practices what she preaches. It’s hard to imagine the movie industry becoming less body-conscious overnight, but as long as Kate is around, there’s at least one star who has a healthy attitude about weight and body image. Let’s hope she lets it all hang out more often.

On yesterdays’ “Oprah,” Kate Winslet was a guest, and before her interview was over, Oprah Winfrey had a very interesting compliment for the “Revolutionary Road” actress.
The talk show queen said, “I love the fact that you have real breasts, ‘cause in all the breast scenes, your breasts do what real breasts do.”

In the first few weeks of this year?s awards season, it seems that everyone already has enough Jolie-Pitt material to freak out about for a lifetime. There was their absence and individual wins at the People?s Choice awards. There was their appearance at the Critics Choice Awards - the losing, the fondling, the alleged ?dagger eyes? Jolie sent to Anne Hathaway. Now people are parsing everything Golden Globe-Jolie-Pitt related, including Kate Winslet?s acceptance speech when Winslet won for Revolutionary Road. As she seemed genuinely out of sorts and very excited, Winslet tried to thank her fellow nominees, but temporarily forgot Angelina.
Double Golden Globe winner Kate Winslet says she forgot Angelina Jolie?s name at the ceremony because her ?mind went blank?.
The Revolutionary Road star apologised to her fellow nominees on stage for winning the Best Actress Award, but forgot the Changeling star.
Kate - who was also awarded the Best Supporting Actress gong for The Reader at Sunday Night’s ceremony - said: ?I?m so sorry Anne, Meryl, Kristin - and who?s the other one? Angelina.”
Asked about the incident as she prepared to fly home, Kate tapped her head and replied: ?My mind went so blank. It was such an amazing moment.?
Quizzed on her chances of winning an Oscar, the English acctress added: ?I have no idea.?
[From The Sun]
People are going to read into this what they will. Personally, I didn?t think it was a big deal. Winslet won an award, she was excited, her mind went blank. I don?t think she was consciously ?dissing? Angie. But what do I know? I didn?t think Angelina was making ?dagger eyes? at Anne Hathaway either - Angie just looked sort of drunk and bored. Perhaps Angelina heard some of that criticism, though, because even as Winslet forgot her name, Angelina was smiling. With no ?dagger eyes?.
Here?s Kate and husband Sam Mendes at the Globes on Sunday. Images thanks to WENN, Fame, and Bauer-Griffin.
