Kate Winslet vs Amy Adams

 

It's common knowledge that celebrities sometimes say things they later regret. Granted, they're in the public spotlight and are constantly under scrutiny, so I can understand if the pressure of all the attention means they say the wrong things occasionally. And yet it seems kind of hard to forgive most actors for misspeaking!
But then there are the celebrities who are just so lovable that we can forget about their little slip up... and one of them happens to be Kate Winslet.
In the September issue of V Magazine, the actress admits she regrets telling everyone in February of 2009 that she was not going to do any more nude scenes. But have no fear because the bare-all queen is going back on her statement and says, "It definitely makes me the hypocrite of the decade. I'm just going to stop saying it."
But hey, if you've got it, flaunt it -- right? Her latest nude scenes were in the Emmy-nominated miniseries Mildred Pierce, and even though she's become a connoisseur of bearing it all on camera, she claims she still gets really nervous when she's doing it. She says, "I hate it! Listen, make no mistake, I just get on it. I just go in and say 'Oh f---' let's do it,' and boom! If you complain about it or procrastinate it's not going to go away. It's a profoundly bizarre thing to do." Let this be a lesson to everyone -- don't procrastinate on your homework, chores, or nude scenes.
Kate enjoys the prospect of a challenge when it comes to taking on a new project and hopes that she's always able to find her characters inspiring. The Contagion star states, "I hope I am s---ting myself over the characters I play for the rest of my life, because the day I go, 'Oh yeah, that's going to be a piece of pie', why f--ing bother? If you do that, you do not learn."

Amy Adams was born in Italy to American parents Kathryn and Richard Adams, while her father was a U.S. serviceman. She was raised in a Mormon family of seven children in Castle Rock, Colorado.Adams sang in the school choir at Douglas County High School and was an apprentice dancer at a local dance company, with the ambition of becoming a ballerina.
However, she worked as a greeter at The Gap and as a Hooters hostess to support herself before finding work as a dancer at Boulder's Dinner Theatre and Country Dinner Playhouse in such productions as "Brigadoon" and "A Chorus Line."
It was there that she was spotted by a Minneapolis dinner-theater director who asked her to move to Chanhassen, Minnesota for more regional dinner theater work.Nursing a pulled muscle that kept her from dancing, she was free to audition for a part in Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999), which was filming nearby in Minnesota.
During the filming, Kirstie Alley encouraged her to move to Los Angeles, where she soon won a part in the Fox television version of the film Cruel Intentions (1999) in the part played in the film by Sarah Michelle Gellar, Kathryn Merteuil. Although three episodes were filmed, the troubled series never aired. Instead, parts of the episodes were cobbled together and released as the direct-to-video Cruel Intentions 2 (2000) (V).
After more failed television spots, she landed a major role in Catch Me If You Can (2002) playing opposite Leonardo DiCaprio. But this did not provide the break-through she might have hoped for, with no work being offered for about a year. She eventually returned to television, and joined the short-lived series 'Dr. Vegas'.Her role in the low-budget independent film Junebug (2005) (which was shot in 21 days) got her real attention, including an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actress as well as other awards.
The following year, her ability to look like a wide-eyed Disney animated heroine helped her to be chosen from about 300 actresses auditioning for the role of Giselle in the animated/live-action feature film Enchanted (2007) which would prove to be her major break-through role. Her vivacious yet innocent portrayal allowed her to use her singing and dancing talents
. Her performance garnered a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy.Adams next appeared in the major production Charlie Wilson's War (2007) and went on to act in the independent film Sunshine Cleaning (2008) which premiered at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.
Her recent role as Sister James in Doubt (2008/I) brought her a second Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress as well as nominations for a Golden Globe, a Screen Actors Guild award, and a British Academy Film award. She appears as Amelia Earhart in Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009)and as a temp secretary in Julie & Julia (2009). She is a very sought-after actress with a bright future.
