Kate Winslet had a “great time” working with former co-star Leonardo DiCaprio again.

The pair – who starred together in the 1997 film Titanic – have reunited for the first time since in new movie Revolutionary Road – directed by Winslet’s husband Sam Mendes.

And Kate says the chemistry was still there – after 11 years.

She says, “It was like we had been working together only yesterday.

“I hadn’t realized how much my chemistry with him has stuck over the years. We had a great time together making this film.

“It was great to be able to work with my best friend and my husband all at the same time.”

British actress Kate Winslet has placed herself in a dilemma after two of her major movies were slotted for release at the same time.

The movies could get Winslet, who has been nominated for an Academy Award five times, another nomination for Best Actress, which is impossible as the Academy does not allow for two nominations.

According to Fox news, the only solution to the problem would be that Winslet could be touted for Best Actress in Revolutionary Road, directed by husband Sam Mendes, and for Best Supporting Actress in The Reader, from director Stephen Daldry.

Two different studios are handling the movies, Paramount for Revolutionary Road, and Weinstein Company for The Reader.

As A staunch anti-fur advocate, Kate Winslet has always been meticulously careful about what she wears – and what she poses with.

So when the Titanic star was asked to drape herself over a luxuriant fur rug for a provocative glossy magazine photoshoot, she was quick to seek reassurances that it was made from artificial fibres.

But now the magazine, Vanity Fair, has been forced to apologise after admitting that the actress had been misled and that the throw was really genuine fox fur.

Dear friends and visitors,

To those of you who don’t have PayPal, you can send money through mail. Informations on this can also be found at the link above.

I kindly thank you in advance for all the help you can give. It’s people like you that keep this site alive and good.

Over the course of her relatively brief but illustrious career, Kate Winslet has amassed five Academy Award nominations — supporting for Sense and Sensibility (1995), lead for Titanic (1997), supporting for Iris (2001), lead for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), and lead for Little Children (2006) — but, believe it or not, she has never gone home with an Oscar!

This year, Kate the Great has two opportunities to correct the record: She stars in The Reader and Revolutionary Road. Based on her track record, chances are she’ll be nominated for at least one performance, and possibly both (one in lead, one in supporting). If this proves to be the case, and she again goes home empty-handed, Winslet will either tie or surpass the late Deborah Kerr (six) as the losing-est actress in Oscars history.

This background makes it all the more fun to read Krista Smith’s profile of Winslet in the December edition of Vanity Fair. During the interview that shaped the piece, Smith apparently asked Winslet whether all of the attention surrounding her big year has made her particularly hungry for an Oscar this time around. Winslet’s response? Priceless.

“Do I want it? You bet your [expletive] [expletive] I do! I think that people assume that I don’t care or don’t want it or don’t need it or something. It’s hard to be there five times, and I’m only human, you know?”

Nice to see a little fire in the belly! Now will someone get this woman an Oscar?!
