Winslet finally scoops her Oscar

British actress Kate Winslet has won her first Oscar, for best actress in The Reader, finally clinching the award on her sixth nomination.
"I'd be lying if I hadn't made a version of this speech. I think I was probably eight years old and staring into a mirror," said Winslet, 33.
It was an exceptional night for Britain with director Danny Boyle winning best director for Slumdog Millionaire.
The film, which has seven awards, is widely expected to take best picture.
Boyle bounced in delight telling the audience, "I swore [to my children] if this miracle ever happened I would receive it in the spirit of Tigger."
Very predictable.It’s a holocaust movie, off course she won!
Although I thought she was much better in revolutionary road( her role in the reading is more of a supporting role).
