She Said. (Quotes from Ms. Winslet on the Evening)
“This was my first choice. I wanted to wear something elegant and comfortable, and I’m certainly comfortable. As for elegant, you have to tell me.”
"A cranberry carpet - and I'm in a red dress!"
"The comfort level is actually pretty good, but I wouldn't like to try to pee at the moment."
"This is the third time I've been nominated and it would be a shame to break a habit if I won."
"I'm running on adrenaline - I'm too nervous to eat."
