Kate’s one of the top actresses in the industry. She didn’t have to sink so low.

Hey, she wanted an Oscar.

The sympathy angle comes from the fact that she admitted them in order to cover up her illiteracy.

That wasn't how it went.

She readily admitted she was one of six, and everything they did. She falsely accepted blame for the memo (and thus got life rather than 5 years) to conceal her illiteracy.

I need more visual evidence to determine how offended I should be.

In real life there is no “bad” excuse for sex.

“The Oscar for worst excuse for sex in a film...”

My nomination goes to the gratutiuous and completely out of place bedroom scene in “Kindergarden Cop”

It was soft porn, at least for the first three or four reels.

Any decent person who understands what is going on would be disgusted by the film several times over.

As with most of what Hollyweird sells -- junk that is too juvenile for adults and too graphic for children.

What bothers me about a lot of movies I have watched is that they are very good movies which I would like to watch with my kids but I can't because of the unneeded obligatory nudity and sex scenes

"I mean, I don't think we need another film about the Holocaust, do we? It's like, how many have there been? No, we get it, it was grim, move on. No, I'm doing this because I've noticed that if you do a film about the Holocaust, guaranteed an Oscar. I've been nominated four times. Never won. The whole world is going, 'Why hasn't Winslet won one?'... That's it. That's why I'm doing it. Schindler's bloody List. The Pianist. Oscars coming out of their arse."
--Kate Winslet, Extras

She's done several sim-sex scenes. Seems to be getting her parts.

Yeah, the Best Actress Award goes to portayal of a pedophile and the Best Actor to the portrayal of a homosexual. Go figure.

It’s very simple, really. I think we all agree that between seeing Kate Winslet naked and seeing Kate Winslet dead...live naked Kate wins every time.

Kate has been doing naked on screen for a long, long time.

That's not actually her. It was photoshopped or air brushed without her knowledge. The other photos weren't.

Kate was a heavy teenager and had trouble later on living up to the film industry's weight standards.

That she had an uphill battle and has been upfront about it makes her perhaps more admirable than other stars and starlets.
