British stars ruled the Golden Globes last night as Kate Winslet finally got her moment of glory scooping two awards Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress.
This year saw the actress earn her sixth and seventh Golden Globe Award nominations, having never won in the past, scooping the best supporting actress gong for her role in the controversial Holocaust drama The Reader.
Her second win, for Best Actress, came for her performance in Revolutionary Road, in which she is reunited with Titanic co-star Leonardo DiCaprio. The win came as a surprise after the organisers of the awards, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, identified Anne Hathaway at the winner.
Fighting back tears she was left almost speechless as she apologised to her fellow nominees: "I'm so sorry Anne, Meryl, Kristin - and who's the other one? Angelina.. Now forgive me, is this really happening?"
She went on to co-star DiCaprio: "I have loved you with all my heart," Winslet said, before thanking her husband for directing the film - "Thank you for killing us every single day. I loved every second of working with you."
More British success came in the form of Slumdog Millionaire, Danny Boyle's movie that has dominated the award's circuit over recent weeks, as it picked up four awards, including Best Motion Picture Drama.
The rags to riches story that follows a young boy from the street of Mumbai onto Who Wants to be a Millionaire also earnt Danny Boyle his first Best Director Golden Globe, as well as collecting Best Screenplay for Simon Beaufoy and Best original Score for AR Rahman.
