Kate Winslet is an English actress who has won an Academy Award, five BAFTA Awards, two Emmy Awards, a Grammy Award, three Critics' Choice Awards, five Golden Globe Awards, four Screen Actors Guild Awards and a Producers Guild Award. She is one of the few actresses to have won three of the four major American entertainment awards (EGOT), with her Academy Award, Emmy Award, and Grammy Award wins.
Winslet is the youngest person to acquire six Academy Award nominations, with seven nominations in total. She won the Academy Award for Best Actress playing Hanna Schmitz, a Nazi guard in the drama The Reader (2008). She was Oscar-nominated for her portrayals of Marianne Dashwood in Sense and Sensibility (1995), Rose Dewitt Bukater in Titanic (1997), Iris Murdoch in Iris (2001), the free-spirited Clementine Kruczynski in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), a suburban housewife in Little Children (2006), and Joanna Hoffman in Steve Jobs (2015).
She is the tenth-youngest Best Actress nominee for her role in Titanic (1997), receiving the nomination at the age of 22. Winslet is the only actress to receive two Academy Award nominations as the younger versions of the characters played by fellow nominees Gloria Stuart, as Rose DeWitt Bukater, in Titanic, and Judi Dench, as Iris Murdoch, in Iris. She is only the second actress, after Sigourney Weaver, to win a Golden Globe for Best Actress (Drama) (for Revolutionary Road) and a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress (for The Reader) in the same year.
For her performances on television, Winslet won two Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for her portrayals as a self-sacrificing mother in the HBO limited drama series Mildred Pierce (2011), and a uncompromising detective sergeant in the HBO limited crime series Mare of Easttown (2021). She was Emmy-nominated for her comedic guest spot as herself in Extras (2006). She won the British Academy Television Awards for Best Single Drama and Best Actress for her work in the Channel 4 anthology series I Am Ruth (2022).
Winslet was appointed as Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) by Queen Elizabeth II in 2012 for services to drama. Over her career she has received several honorary awards such as the Britannia Award in 2007, a Santa Barbara International Film Festival Award in 2009, an Honorary César Award in 2012, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2014 with Kathy Bates and Shailene Woodley as guest speakers.
