WINSLET HURT BY GOLDEN GLOBES SPEECHES CRITICISM
KATE WINSLET is still reeling from her Golden Globes double win - because she forgot to mention ANGELINA JOLIE and evoked the wrath of the speech police.
Kate Winslet at 66th Annual Golden Globe awards 2008 at the Beverly Hilton - Press Room, Los Angeles, California - 11.01.09
The Brit won Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress honours for her roles in Revolutionary Road and The Reader, and was so unprepared for victory she had no idea what to say in her acceptance speeches.
So, she decided to congratulate her fellow nominees by name - and then blanked on Jolie.
And she can't believe her speeches have been savaged by awards critics online.
She says, "It's the one thing that has surprised me about this thing of winning awards; I thought that people just reviewed the films. I didn't realise that they reviewed speeches, too.
"I don't tend to read reviews of things but when people are reviewing a speech and being somewhat unkind about it, well, what can you say?
"Look, I wasn't prepared at all. I really didn't think I was going to win and I was genuinely overwhelmed. I'm sorry."
