Kate Winslet Extras Oscar joke came true

    von Professional Portal ☀️: Kate Winslet

    Kate Winslet's character in Extras (2005) had a joke about Holocaust movies being a "guaranteed Oscar." Three years later, she actually won Best Actress for The Reader (2008). Ricky Gervais then brought it up at the Golden Globes: "I told you, do a Holocaust movie and the awards come!"

    I'd just like to say, I think, you know, you doing this is so commendable, you know, using your profile to keep the message alive about the Holocaust. Thank God, I'm not doing it for that. I mean, I don't think we really need another film about the Holocaust, do we? It's like, how many have there been? You know, we get it, it was grim, move on. Now, I'm doing it because I've noticed that if you do a film about the Holocaust, guaranteed an Oscar. I've been nominated four times, never won. And the whole world is going, why hasn't Winslet won one? Death, yeah. That's it. That's why I'm doing it. Schindler's bloody list. Pianist. Oscars coming out of their arse. You, Bob, good luck, Ben. It's a good plan. Thank you. Good luck with your... See you later, goodbye.
