In a bit of an upset, actress Kate Winslet took home two for two Golden Globes Sunday, winning a Best Supporting Award for The Reader early in the evening and nabbing the Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture for Revolutionary Road.
"I have a habit of not winning things," Winslet said on her first trip to the podium for The Reader, the film in which she portrayed a woman on trial for Nazi war crimes.
Nearly three hours later -- the woman who's been nominated for more Academy Awards than any other woman her age -- Winslet's name was called a second time, this time beating Meryl Streep, Angelina Jolie, Anne Hathaway, and Kristin Scott Thomas.
An emotional Winslet took a moment to pull herself together before she could accept the award.
"I'm so sorry Meryl, Anne, Kristin, oh God, who's the other one? Angelina," Winslet said on the verge of tears. "Forgive me. Gather. Is this really happening?"
The actress who made a her debut in 1994's Heavenly Creatures and who went on to memorable roles in Sense and Sensibility, Titanic and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, thanked her Titanic and Revolutionary Road costar Leonardo DiCaprio at length, praising him for his work in the film.
Winslet told DiCaprio that she's loved him for 13 years. "I love you with all my heart. I really do."
She went on to tearfully thank her husband, Revolutionary Road's director Sam Mendes.
"I loved every second of working with you and made me love you even more."
