Kate Winslet Plays Dress-Up

Mom-of-two Kate Winslet confesses she loves the glitz and glamour of award season. The Revolutionary Road star, who looked gorgeous in a black Stella McCartney gown at the BAFTAs in London this week, says she's more than happy to ditch her school run clothes and get all dolled up for the red carpet.

“It's great to wear lovely dresses and to just experience those moments of dress up, especially as a mum, because you get so few moments to feel good in your own skin and wear a lovely gown."

She's not up for any awards this year, but Kate says she's found the perfect place for the Oscar that she picked up for last year's The Reader: The Bathroom!

Why the bathroom? "Because basically everybody wants to touch it, everybody wants to hold it and go 'Oh, my gosh,' and 'How heavy is it?' So I figured if I put it [in there], then people can avoid the whole, 'Where's your Oscar?' thing."

Kate, who is married to director Sam Mendes, is mom to kids Mia Honey, 9, and Joe, 6.
