Her first time to the podium, as winner of the Best Supporting Actress award at last night's Golden Globes Awards in Hollywood, Kate Winslet was at a loss for words. "You have to forgive me," Kate, who won for her role as a former concentration camp guard in The Reader, told the audience at the Beverly Hills Hilton, "because I have a habit of not winning things."

Later in the evening, it was Kate's turn again, and this time it was an even bigger award, Best Actress for Revolutionary Road. This time, she was even more flustered.

"I'm so sorry! Anne, Meryl, Kristin — oh, God, who's the other one? — Angelina," she said, referring to fellow nominees Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Kristin Scott Thomas and Angelina Jolie.

Kate wasn't the only big winner of the night. Slumdog Millionaire won awards for Best Drama, Best Director (Danny Boyle), Best Screenplay and Best Original Score.

Mickey Rourke took the Best Actor award for The Wrestler, and the late Heath Ledger took Best Supporting Actor for his performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight.

It was a dead heat between the stars of 2006's The Devil Wears Prada as Anne Hathaway (Rachel Getting Married) and Meryl Streep (Doubt) tied for Best Actress honors at the 14th-annual Critics' Choice Awards in Santa Monica, Calif., last night.

Heath Ledger posthumously won the Best Supporting Actor award for The Dark Knight. Sean Penn took the Best Actor trophy for his performance in Milk, and Kate Winslet won Best Supporting Actress for her role as a former Nazi concentration-camp guard in The Reader.

But the biggest winner was Slumdog Millionaire, which won awards for Best Director, Best Picture, Best Writer and Best Composer. Its star, Dev Patel, also was voted Best Young Actor.

The nominations for the Screen Actors Guild Awards are in — and the cast of Doubt leads the pack. Meryl Streep, who plays school principal Sister Aloysius Beauvier, received a lead-actress nomination. Her co-stars, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams and Viola Davis, were all nominated in supporting categories.

Notable nominees for lead actor include Brad Pitt (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) and Sean Penn (Milk).

Kate Winslet also did well. She got a lead-actress nomination for Revolutionary Road and a best supporting nod for The Reader.

The late Heath Ledger was nominated for best supporting actor for his performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight.
