I like her and I'm sure she really was surprised to win and everything but...

...she did make a bit of a tit of herself, didn't she?

Oh no - I like Kate. What did she do? Can you send a link?

sagacious · 12/01/2009 14:03

She was even more cringey than the old Gwyneth Paltrow's sobbathon in the odd pink dress(and thats saying something)

MadreInglese · 12/01/2009 14:04

She did a bit of a Gwyneth I think

Interested in this thread?

I did snurk at Angelina Jolies rictus grin though...

rubyslippers · 12/01/2009 14:06

she looked FABULOUS!

i have to say if i won 2 awards in one night of that calibre i may not hold it together either

however, the likliehood of that happening is zilch

stillstanding · 12/01/2009 14:06

Gwyneth's was ghastly. Am really surprised to hear Kate followed suit and can't believe I missed it. Do you know if it is being shown again at all?

MrsSanta · 12/01/2009 14:06

I had to laugh at Angelina Jolie, Yuk she is awful. Fancing Brad pitt leaveing Jennifer Aniston for her, (bet he regrets that one big time).
Kate looked fab,

muppetgirl · 12/01/2009 14:07

I do think the
'....oh God, what's her name?????'

was quite funny!

MadreInglese · 12/01/2009 14:07

I had to LOL @ "oh god, who was the other one"

traceybath · 12/01/2009 14:08

am guessing kate won't be invited to angeliana's for dinner anytime soon

BoccaDellaVerita · 12/01/2009 14:08

Yes, she was a complete nork.

Northernlurker · 12/01/2009 14:08

She was trying to pay tribute to her fellow nominees - sweet thought but she could remember Meryl and Kristin but forgot Angelina Jolie! I don't think that happens to Angelina all that much - was probably a blessed relief to her!

cornsilk · 12/01/2009 14:09

HEE hee norty Kate - I hope she did that one on purpose.

TheOtherMaryPoppinsDiets · 12/01/2009 14:10

Wonder if Kate is friends with Jen

georgimama · 12/01/2009 14:10

She looked amazing though.

Do you think Anne Hathaway was gutted though! She thought she had won when the Press Association put that star thingy on their website next to her name. I wonder if she had won and they changed it?

there's a bit of it on here.

I thought missing out Angelina was funny but the cringiest bit was "is this really happening? oh my God, oh my God etc etc"

She should have taken some lessons from Helen Mirren on how to accept an award with panache.

Wotcha Bocca

I'm glad Anne Hathaway didn't win - she's an idiot and she's trying SO hard t win an Oscar.

OP posts:
BoccaDellaVerita · 12/01/2009 14:13

Exactly. These people are actors and so ought to be able to master their emotions and deliver a graceful speech with aplomb. Dame Helen can, natch.

HelenBurns · 12/01/2009 14:14

Here you go

It was a bit, hmm.! I like her but oh dear!

HelenBurns · 12/01/2009 14:15

Oh sorry Squeaver! Was busy watching it!

cornsilk · 12/01/2009 14:16

Anyone remember that episode of Extras that she was in?

squeaver · 12/01/2009 14:17

I know, cornsilk, when she said the only way she's get an Oscar would be if she appeared in a Holocaust film!!

cornsilk · 12/01/2009 14:19

Ha!

GrimblesMother · 12/01/2009 14:21

It can't be that surprising to her, really, can it? I mean, she was there FFS so it was always a possibility.

Gone right off her now.

stillstanding · 12/01/2009 14:22

Very cringey! Am quite surprised by her. But it looks like she pulled it together in the end, no?
