kate winslet's twin triumphs at the golden globes were not exactly the shock surprises of pop culture. the greatest actress of her generation is bound to exhibit those coveted statuettes in one of her houses. she is in all magnificence, a gifted thespian, adorable in The Holiday, and even more excellent in her more serious and significant roles. but. there's a but, you ask? she's english, with a middle class upbringing in Reading, or even if she grew up in the estates, there's a not so secret code in the impropriety of showing emotions in public. stiff-upper lip is an attribute of the british people. it's remarkable that an english rose prevailed after a string of nominations, however she should have shown restraint in her acceptance speeches. i didn't write that. it was emblazoned in this headline and in this article and all other big and small papers printed in the UK. the daily mirror even came up with their top ten list of tottering oratories. as for my views, i have yet to learn proper articulation and decorum in my public elocutions, so i think the winslet rhetorics were absolutely splendid.*Best Supporting Actress – The Reader
