And she won!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

Just saw the rerun episode on one of the UK cable channels - topped and tailed with cast interviews. Gervais: "I'm not exactly saying it's
my
Oscar, but."
I used to want to change the world. Now I just want to leave the room with a little dignity.

Basically.

Especially when she was competing for the Oscar with Meryl Streep's nun. Even more hilarious.

Exactly! I made a thread about this at the Reader board.I didn't know there was already one existed.

Go Kate ! She should do comedy more.Brilliant and versatile actress.I have a question.Had she already sign for The Reader when she made Extras ? Just curious.

I just hope next she plays someone with cerebral palsy.

"Shame she didn't mention the irony in her acceptance speech"
I saw footage of her post-award backstage interview, and a reporter mentioned "Extras.", which seemed to cause a sudden flash of "Oh my god, that's right." in Winslet. I think in the moment on stage she had other things on her mind.
Do not taunt happy fun ball!

True, but since the Extras joke was Oscar-centric, something more could be done about it. Shame she didn't mention the irony in her acceptance speech
How you doin'?

Gervais did go on the Golden Globes and say on stage, I told you Winslet do a holocaust film and the awards start pouring in.

If Gervais really is planning to do another special episode, he could work the joke into the script, like Andy runs into Winslet and says: "By the way, congratulations for winning the Oscar!". That would be funny

I'm just glad the academy proved the cliche, do a holocaust film, get an Oscar true.

The original poster: I remember pointing this out as soon as Winslet was cast in the Reader - I just knew she'd win an Oscar for it! So funny
What the hell's
wrong
with expressing yourself?

Yeah, just rewatched that episode a couple of days ago and it's hilarious. She should have made a reference to it in her acceptance speech. Haha.

Well she won for the Reader, I guess this makes the Winslet episode funnier. And kind of lame how easy it is to predict how easily the academy is to predict.

kate winslet's "extras" episode was one of the funniest moments of that show's season.
i haven't seen "the reader," but i did see "revolutionary road," and she deserves some kind of award for her performance in that picture.
i also just recently saw "holy smoke" again and, even though that film gets bad reviews, i love her in it. i also like the fact that she's never had a problem with tastefully done frontal nudity (as in "hideous kinky"), either

Plus, it's "written" by Patrick Stewart! Anyway, getting back to the original subject, in case Winslet doesn't win (Oscars aren't an exact science, after all), the next thing she should do to be "guaranteed" an award is to play a mental - in WWII Germany! That way she'll definitely win

another excuse for gratuitous nudity is always welcome.

Hollywood doesn't need another excuse for gratuitous nudity.

If she wins, the next thing they should do is greenlight Patrick Stewart's excuse for gratuitous nudity

No, she plays a woman with cerebral palsy who wants to dance with the New York Ballet, here comes Oscar gold. You know if Winslet wins for The Reader(which is a soulless piece of Oscar bait made simply to win awards) her speech from the episode where she says, "You do a holocaust movie, you're guaranteed an Oscar" is going to be posted on every entertainment news web site and blog. My God, Gervais and Merchant really are geniuses.
