Everyone wants to have a hold: Winslet talks about Oscar winning experience

Kate Winslet, who received her first Oscar nomination for the period drama Sense and Sensibility (1995) won her first and only Oscar so far 13 years later for the romantic drama The Reader. During one of her appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Kate Winslet talked about her experience of winning the Academy award in 2008. Winslet told Graham, “Everyone wants to have a hold, of course.”

In the same line of conversation, Kate Winslet left everyone spellbound when she revealed that she keeps her Oscar trophy in her bathroom.

I can tell when guest is ‘playing with Oscar’ : Kate Winslet

Winslet elaborated on her decision, “Because when everyone goes in for a wee or a poo, they can really take their time in front of the mirror with Oscar. You can always tell because they flush and then there's another five minutes…” It's obvious to her, she says, when a guest is “playing with Oscar”.

She added: "The whole idea is for everyone to pick it up and say, ‘I’d like to thank my son and my dad’ — and you can always tell when someone has, because they spend a little extra time in there after they flushed. They’ll come out looking slightly pink-cheeked. It’s hysterical.”

Winslet’s upcoming projects include a mini-series titled The Regime, on which the Titanic actress also serves as an executive producer.
