Kate Winslet sent a DIY video acceptance speech to the Australian Academy Awards
The Oscar-winning actress took a rather unusual approach to her producing her speech after winning best actress for The Dressmaker at the annual Australian Academy Awards, recording herself on the phone back home in England.
In the self-deprecating video, Kate admitted that it was her sixth take filming her speech.
Before thanking her co-stars and film crew, the 40-year-old asked viewers to give her a moment while she made "sure you can't see the hole in my sweater that I noticed on the previous tape".
She added that she put on some lipstick "just in case" she won.
The actress said it took her six takes to film her acceptance speech
Kate thanked her co-stars and crew as well as gushing over Liam Hemsworth
Kate explained that she didn't expect to win and she believed that the award should of course "go to a local".
She gave a serious thanks to the cast and crew for her award, including co-star and best supporting actress winner Judy Davis, who she called "more inspiring than I think I could have ever imagined or hoped you would be".
The Titanic star also gushed about co-star Liam Hemsworth: "Lovely Liam Hemsworth, I do have to mention him, even though he's really, really famous and probably doesn't need more people talking about how gorgeous he is."
Kate said that she loved playing Australian couturier Tilly Dunnage
Speaking about her role in the film she said: "I loved playing Tilly Dunnage. She was the most extraordinary character."
Kate's home video was watched nearly 8000 times overnight, with many praising the actress for being down to earth and deserving of her award.
