Comments on: Kate Winslet: Wins awards, loses the press http://hailbritannia.com/2009/01/13/kate-winslet-wins-awards-loses-the-press/ An Anglophile's Blog From the Wrong Side of the Pond Sun, 13 May 2012 06:00:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Rosie Powell http://hailbritannia.com/2009/01/13/kate-winslet-wins-awards-loses-the-press/comment-page-1/#comment-534 Rosie Powell Fri, 30 Jan 2009 20:02:20 +0000 http://hailbritannia.com/?p=543#comment-534 <i>I think the British press is mad because Winslet now wears the “Most Embarrassing Acceptance Speech Ever” mantle previously held by American actress Gwyneth Paltrow for her 1999 Oscar speech.</i> You mean to say that Gwyneth Paltrow is <i>still</i> being condemned for being emotional over her Oscar win? Hmm . . . shallow! Judging from these condemnations of both Winslet and Paltrow, I can only surmise that human beings - no matter where they come from - are basically shallow. Especially if they are going to bitch and moan over two actresses reacting with emotion over being recognized by their peers.

Are you kidding me? What is wrong with them? Is it really that important that she maintain the <i>"British stiff upper lip"</i>? I have never heard anything so shallow in my life. And they have a nerve to criticize Hollywood for being shallow. The British press is condemning Kate Winslet for getting emotional over winning several acting awards? Are you kidding me?

Oh well, she's charming enough a person/actress, she won't pay for this too long -- unlike Gwynnie. Yes, she was probably celebrating that first win, never expecting a second then whoops!
