Hello followers!
The Baftas (British Academy of Film and Television Awards) were given
last Sunday in London. All of those readers who are a bit keen on cinema
will probably know that the Baftas are the most important awards held just
before the Oscars and that many of the successful films at the Baftas
will also achieve the same result at the event celebrated at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles. However, I am not going
to write about the winners of the night but about one of most
spontaneous sincere speeches given by the Bafta winner to best
supporting actress: Kate Winslet. Not only she is one of my two favourite
actresses (Hillary Swank holds the honor of sharing the title with her), but she is also a
humble generous woman as you can work out by her words to the press that night.
Kate in her purest style... Enjoy!
Let´s now have a look at some of Kate´s sentences and their meaning:
If I was happy to settle for the fat girl parts. To settle for (v): To be satisfied with.
Every young woman who has ever been put down by a teacher or a friend or even a parent. Put down (v): To humiliate or embarrass. Make someone feel insulted or ridiculous.
And I kept on going and I overcame all of my fears. Keep on going (v): Continue uninterrupted
Overcome (v): To defeat
That´s what I felt that I had to really dig deep and do. Dig deep (idiom): Summon strength
