Kate Winslet is awesome



She really is.

She reminds me a lot of Susan Sarandon and Julianne Moore. They are women with enormous amounts of talent that are happy giving compelling performances...and then going home to their families.

I respect that. Especially in an age when so many women whore themselves out to the media whenever possible.

Of course, drunken/drug stories are always a hoot, but it is nice to see that not everyone in Hollywood is a lunatic actor with a desperate need to be in the press everyday(yes, Lindsay, I'm talking about you).

Kate recently starred in All the King's Men, and will next be seen in Little Children. After that, it will be The Holiday with Cameron Diaz(poor Kate!). Oh, I'm sure Cam's a great gal. Not annoying at all.

And its nice to see that the unbelievable fame Kate achieved after Titanic didn't make her fall off the deep end. I always imagined working with James Cameron could do that to a person. Not Kate, though! Hard to believe she was only 21 when she made it.

And, seriously, how great is her American Express commercial? A really nice nod to her more memorable performances.

My favorite will always be Sense and Sensibility. So good.
