Answer: Sense and Sensibility

She was the youngest actress ever to be nominated for two Academy Awards- first for "Sense and Sensibility" (1995) then "Titanic" when she was 20 and 22 years old. She made Oscar history again by racking up five nominations before she was 32 years old. With her subsequent nomination for Best Actress for "Reader" (2008), she became the youngest actress to receive 6 Oscar nominations.
2. What is Kate's middle name?

Answer: Elizabeth

Her middle name is Elizabeth. Her first name is not short for anything such as Katherine or Kathleen either. Her full first name is Kate. She was born on October 5th, 1975 in Reading, England to father Roger and mother Sally, both stage actors but they also had other jobs to provide for their family. Kate's sisters, Beth and Anna, are also working actors.

Her younger brother Joss is probably the only Winslet who did not enter into the acting realm. Kate's first role was that of Mary in a Nativity play at school when she was five years old.

At age eleven, she began attending the acting school Redroofs in Maidenhead, England.
3. For what did Kate win a Grammy Award?

Answer: The Face in the Lake (1999)

Kate won the Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album for her work in the animated 75-minute production of "Listen to the Storyteller" (1999).
4. There must be the obligatory Titanic question but it will be interesting. Why did Kate miss the premiere of "Titanic" (1997)?

Answer: She attended a funeral

Kate missed the premiere of "Titanic" because she was attending the funeral of her close friend and former boyfriend, Stephen Tredre. In an interview with Parade Magazine, she revealed that Stephen's death "was unbelievably heartbreaking," she says. "All I have left is that we remained very close until the end."
5. For which of these movies did Kate win an Oscar?

Answer: "The Reader" (2008)

At the 2009 Academy Awards, Kate won an Oscar for her role in "The Reader". This was her 6th Oscar nomination and first win. In an interview with Vanity Fair in December 2008, she was asked whether all of the attention surrounding her big year has made her want to win an Oscar more this time around. Winslet answered: "Do I want it? You bet your [expletive] [expletive] I do! I think that people assume that I don't care or don't want it or don't need it or something.

It's hard to be there five times, and I'm only human, you know?"
6. What happened in Kate's life on October 12, 2000?

Answer: She gave birth to her first child

Kate had her first child, daughter Mia, with first husband Jim Threapleton on this date. Her second marriage with Sam Mendes produced Joe Alfie Winslet-Mendes, who was born in December 2003.
7. At the 2009 Golden Globe Awards, Kate won two Golden Globes. What were the names of the two characters she played that won her the Golden Globes?

Answer: April Wheeler and Hanna Schmitz

Kate won Best Supporting Actress for her performance in "The Reader" (2008), in which she played Hanna Schmitz. She won Best Actress for playing the role of April Wheeler in "Revolutionary Road" (2008). It was only the third time in Golden Globes history that an actor or actress had received two awards on the same night. Sigourney Weaver in 1989 was the first, and Joan Plowright in 1993 was the second.
8. Kate married director Sam Mendes in May 2003. Through fate or coincidence, they have something in common which neither knew about until well after they became a couple. What is it?

Answer: Both were born in the same small, local hospital

Fortuitously, Mendes and Winslet were born in the same hospital, in the same English town of Reading, England - a decade apart. In "Vanity Fair" magazine, Winslet said "We were [expletive] born in the same hospital! Every time we have to drive past it, when we go to visit my parents, I can feel myself say, 'O.K., I'm not going to say it today.' And Sam can feel me grinning, and he's like, 'Go on, say it.' And I'm like, 'Mia, Joe ... we were born there!' Every time I have to tell the story."
9. Which movie did Kate star in immediately after she completed "Titanic" (1997)?

Answer: Hideous Kinky

After "Titanic" Kate Winslet dashed off to Morocco to star in the low-budget $3 million "Hideous Kinky" (1998). Winslet tells EW Online, 'It was very important to me to let people know that I wasn't just going to ride on the crest of the wave forever and just do lots and lots of Hollywood movies." She committed to the film just prior to the release of "Titanic" when she was getting nervous about the impending publicity. 'I really wanted to ground myself because I knew things were going to go bananas when "Titanic" was released,' she said. 'People said, 'You know, this is really going to change your life.' And I thought, 'Well, I don't want my life to change. I like me, and I like the way things are.' I knew doing "Hideous Kinky" would be grounding before all the madness of 'Titanic' happened.'
10. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate are very close friends. They worked together in "Revolutionary Road" (2008) and after filming the movie, DiCaprio gave Kate a ring, symbolizing their friendship. There is an engraving on the inside of the ring. What does it say?

Answer: Kate didn't disclose what DiCaprio had engraved

"Yes, [DiCaprio's ring] is engraved on the inside, but I'm not going to tell you what it says," Kate said, according to "Flare" magazine. Winslet wears the gold piece of jewelry -- given to her shortly after their drama about married life in the 1950s was finished, next to her wedding rings.
