Winslet, 34, had been awarded the prize for her role in ‘The Reader’, in which she had played a German woman with a secret Nazi past.
“Ever since we made The Reader I’m always trying to find ways to come back - it was special,” the BBC quoted Winslet, who shot the movie in Germany, as saying.
The actress struggled to hold up the solid bronze and 18-carat gold trophy she was presented with at the ceremony.
