Winslet was named the recipient of the Hollywood Actress Award for her performance in Woody Allen’s latest film, Wonder Wheel.
During her acceptance speech, Winslet noted that she felt honored to be in the same room as such luminaries as Allison Janney. “I know I don’t really know you but I know I just want to be you. I do, or just stroke you or something. I mean, we could always kiss, maybe? Maybe?”
Janney, without missing a beat, then headed to the stage, prompting Winslet to remark: ” Ah, it’s gonna happen! This is an exciting moment!”
