BEVERLY HILLS, California - British actress Kate Winslet won a second Golden Globe here Sunday in the best drama actress category for her portrayal of a frustrated 1950s suburbanite in the drama "Revolutionary Road", directed by her husband Sam Mendes.
Winslet, 33, beat out Angelina Jolie ("Changeling"), Meryl Streep ("Doubt"), Anne Hathaway ("Rachel Getting Married") and Kristin Scott-Thomas ("I've Loved You So Long").
Winslet, who had been nominated at the Globes on five previous occasions, before this year, also won earlier in the evening in the supporting actress category for her performance in "The Reader".
"Thank you so much... thank you soooo much!," before adding to long-time friend and fellow "Titanic" and "Revolutionary Road" star DiCaprio: "I love you with all my heart, I really do!" It was only the third time in Golden Globes history that an actor or actress had been honoured with two awards on the same night.
Unlike Winslet, DiCaprio failed to take home the best drama actor Golden Globe.
DiCaprio lost out to 52-year-old Mickey Rourke who earned widespread critical acclaim for his performance as a washed-up prizefighter in "The Wrestler". Others nominated in the category include Sean Penn ("Milk"), Brad Pitt ("The Curious Case of Benjamin Button") and Frank Langella ("Frost/Nixon").
Late Australian actor Heath Ledger won a posthumous Golden Globe award for his performance as The Joker in Batman blockbuster "The Dark Knight".
Batman director Christopher Nolan collected the best supporting actor award on behalf of Ledger, who died of an accidental overdose in January last year at the age of 28.
Ledger was nominated in the best supporting actor category alongside Tom Cruise ("Tropic Thunder"), Ralph Fiennes ("The Duchess"), Philip Seymour-Hoffman ("Doubt") and Robert Downey Jr ("Tropic Thunder").
