Kate Winslet

Kate Winslet has successfully mixed TV and movie roles this year - enjoying great success in both mediums.

The Reader & revolutionary Road were the last projects in which Winslet starred but she swapped the big screen for TV as she starred in Mildred Pierce.

She took on the title role in the adaptation of the James M Cain 1941 novel - which also starred Guy Pearce and Evan Rachel Wood.

Winslet picked up an Emmy for the role of the over protective mother who fights to earn the love and respect of her daughter.

The series was met with critical acclaim as Winslet made the perfect transition back to the small screen.

She returned to the big screen in the autumn as she was part of an ensemble cast that starred in Contagion - the latest project from Oscar winning filmmaker Steven Soderbergh.

The movie interweaves a string of stories in a world that is battling a virus that is sweeping the globe and killing millions.

Winslet took on the role of Dr Erin Mears, who is on the front line when the infection breaks out trying to treat the sick in America.

This is a hard hitting movie that deals well with a very real possibility that a virus could well sweep the globe.

Winslet will be back on the big screen in the new year as she teams up with filmmaker Roman Polanski for Carnage - the movie also stars Jodie Foster, Christoph Waltz and John C. Reilly.

She has also completed work on Movie 43, a feature-film comprised of short comedy segments - Emma Stone, Hugh Jackman and Kate Bosworth are just some of the other names that will feature in the film.
