Why I like Kate Winslet

I do like Kate Winslet. I have always liked her since I saw her portrayal of the pouting Marianne Dashwood in Ang Lee's Sense and Sensibility over fourteen years ago now!
There is something quite robust and likable about Winslet. She has all the essentially nice qualities possessed by a middle class public school girl. She is a self depreciating,fiercely intelligent,fun loving, ever-so-jolly, spirit that won the war character, who looks absolutely fab in a designer gown. She likes a drink, does her own shopping and I always think that she would be able to roll her sleeves up in a crisis.
Kate Winslet is also a fine actor, she deserved Yesterday's Oscar for The Reader, indeed she should have won the statuette for the incredibly moving Finding Neverland in (2004) and the bleak version of Little Children in (2006).
Yesterday it was her turn to receive the plaudits, and in characteristic style she bounced a few "Thank yous!"around before asking her dad to whistle at her so she could find him the crowded auditorium. It was a nice, relaxed and obviously well thought out touch of normality.......
