Winslet has demystified her beauty secrets most recently saying she would have to love her backside. She said young girls and all the women out there should not perceive celebrities, especially her as perfect because behind that perfect face are blemishes hidden by makeup. She said retouching seems to have taken on a taboo status with no one talking about it but she does not want it to remain a secret anymore. The mother of two, who has been raking in Awards and nominations for her movies, said she would not allow her celebrity status to affect the way she is raising her children.

Winslett was initially speechless and even almost forgot to mention Angelina Jolie as one of the nominees for best actress. She was able to identify Anne Hathaway, Kristin Scott Thomas and Meryl Streep and took sometime before she remembered Jolie. She said she was banking on Hathaway winning the award and said this could not be happening to her. In her speech, Winslett named her Titanic and Revolutionary Road leading man Leonardo Di Caprio and her husband Sam Mendes as the two incredible men in her life. She said she has loved Di Caprio for 13 years already and said that working with husband Mendes (her director in the film) made her love him even more.
