The Kate Winslet episode is sort of ironic now

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
How you doin'?

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

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.

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.

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?

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

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

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.

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

"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!

I just hope next she plays someone with cerebral palsy.

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.

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

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.
