Oscars 2009: Kate Winslet’s Shout-Out to her Dad - VIDEO

by Jane Boursaw on February 23rd, 2009

I loved Kate Winslet’s acceptance speech after winning Best Actress for her role in "The Reader." She gave her dad a shout-out, asking him to whistle so she’d know where he was, which he immediately did!

I just felt like this was a really sweet, intimate moment between Kate and her dad that we got to be a part of. And I kept hoping Kate would just breathe for a second. I was so afraid she would pass out up there!
