Kate Winslet's children can't wait to play with her Oscar

Kate Winslet's children can't wait to play with her Oscar.
'The Reader' star - who was named Best Actress at the Academy Awards - has revealed her children are desperate for her to bring
home the prestigious award so they can pretend they have won a prize.
Kate - who is married to 'American Beauty' director Sam Mendes - said: "My
kids are waiting for me to bring home an Oscar. It's great because with my
husband's Oscar we now have a pair. They love playing with my awards and
this means they get to hold one each. I might just try and hang on to it for
a while myself though."
The 33-year-old actress has two children - eight-year-old daughter Mia from
a previous relationship and son Joe, five, with Sam.
Kate - who has also won two Golden Globes and a BAFTA this year - revealed
during her acceptance speech she dreamed of winning an Oscar since she was a
child.
She said: "I'll be lying if I say that I have not prepared a version of this
speech since the time I was eight and in the bathroom and this trophy was a
bottle of shampoo. But it's not a shampoo bottle anymore! I feel very
fortunate to have made it from there to here."
