Name: Kate Winslet

Age: 36

Character: Nancy Cowan in Carnage

Film: Carnage is a razor sharp, biting comedy centred on parental differences. After two boys duke it out on a playground, the parents of the "victim" invite the parents of the "bully" over to work out their issues.

A polite discussion of childrearing soon escalates into verbal warfare, with all four parents revealing their true colours. None of them will escape the carnage.

Previous Golden Globe Wins: Winslet has two other Golden Globe wins: Best Actress for Revolutionary Road and Best Supporting Actress for the Reader

Previous Golden Globe Nominations: She also has six other nominations: Best Supporting Actress of Sense and Sensibility, Best Actress in Miniseries or TV Movie for Mildred Pierce.

She has four Best Actress nods for Titanic, Little Children, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Iris

Award/Nominations for role: Winslet has picked up Best Ensemble nominations at the Boston Society film Critics Awards, Detroit Critics Society Awards and Satellite Awards

Critics: “An actor's playground, with Winslet and Foster practically leaping off the screen with the fearsome ridiculousness of their performances” - Filmcritics.com

“Scathing and funny and cynical about contemporary society and the hypocritical way we live now, Carnage may not be the dream movie I expected, but it has a dream cast of pure, unimpeachable ensemble perfection.” - New York Observer

“Fast, furious and often funny.” - New York Post
