I was watching one of the TV channels interviewing Kate Winslet at one of the awards ceremonies ( I think it was the BBC). She was saying something about how things like that don't happen to someone like her. Mmm...but it did. And why not, she's a great actress. The thing is, people who win oscars ARE talented and beautiful people, and excel in their game, and that's why we look up to them. We strive in life to do well, do better and be inspired by great people. So, while humility is wonderful and admirable, there really should be little place for it when celebrating an oscar win.
I'm not suggesting Kate comes over all arrogant and egotistical, but rather just grateful and accepting of the accolade. I'm sure, like me, people love her down-to-earth persona, but she is a talented force (otherwise wouldn't have won the oscar), and therefore rather extraordinary. But we want extraordinary people to know that they are because otherwise what are we aspiring to?
