Did Kate Winslet win the best actress award at the Golden Globe awards this year?
The Golden Globes, unlike the Academy Awards, split the awards for Best Actor and Best Actress in a Motion Picture into best performances in Drama and Comedy. The awards for Best Supporting Actor and Actress in a Motion Picture, however, are not split that way. (In addition, the Golden Globes also make these awards for television programs and mini-series, unlike the Academy Awards, which are just for films.) Kate Winslet was up for two of the 2009 awards, Best Actress in a Drama and Best Supporting Actress, and won both of them. The official Golden Globes site summarizes the 2009 nominations and awards for Best Acting in a Motion Picture: (http://www.goldenglobes.org/nominations/) Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama * Anne Hathaway – Rachel Getting Married * Angelina Jolie – Changeling * Meryl Streep – Doubt * Kristin Scott Thomas – I’ve Loved You So Long * [WINNER] Kate Winslet – Revolutionary Road Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama * Leona
