The 2017
Hollywood Film Awards had some surprise girl-on-girl
action.
At the
Beverly Hilton Sunday, Shailene
Woodley presented the Hollywood Actress award
to her Divergent co-star Kate Winslet,
who next appears opposite Justin
Timberlake in the Woody Allen movie Wonder
Wheel.
At the beginning of Winslet's acceptance speech, she told
Woodley, "Thank you, Shai. Thank you so much for those wonderful words.
I'm very proud to be next to you on this stage. Thank you for your grace, your
integrity and your beautiful words."
Rather than stand alone in the spotlight,
Winslet wanted to shine a light on others in the room, so she used her speech
to herald their accomplishments. "What a great room this is to be in
tonight, filled with so many achievements and such powerful creativity.
I'm
deeply appreciative of this acknowledgement, at a time when the voices of
artists play such an important role in storytelling and pushing boundaries, and
that feels necessary today—more than ever before, I think," she said.
Winslet went on to say that "one of the most rewarding things about this
job" is "the opportunity to work alongside incredible actors,"
and so she wanted "to thank and applaud" her fellow actors being
honored, "for your passionate dedication and your brilliance."
"Allison
Janney is in this room. Allison, I know I don't
really know you, but I just want to be you," she said. "I do. Or just
stroke you or something. I mean, we could always kiss, maybe."
As Janney
cheered from her seat, Winslet said, "Maybe?"
Janney
jumped up and rushed toward the stage.
"Oh,
it's gonna happen. Quick, quick, quick!" Winslet said. "This is an
exciting moment, isn't it?"
After sharing a passionate (albeit quick) kiss
on the lips, Winslet was too flustered to finish her speech. "Thank you
very much," the actress told the audience. "Now I'm a little bit
breathless!"
