It's good to be a man.
Or we just expect better from a woman.

I love this bit in the Datalounge thread "Let's help Kate with her Oscar speech":

"Mention Angelina FIRST. Even if you hate her it was very rude at the GGs..."

Hahaha!

And then:
My boobs, my God, my children, where was I, oh Sam... Sam, thank you so much, oh wait, it's Stephen, so sorry ... shit, Stephen thank you so much, fuck, I messed it up already ... David Kross my love, no wait, that sounds creepy, Leo, my love, shit, wrong movie ... dammit Kate, get it together ... Harvey Weinstein thank you, fat fuck, everyone in Germany, the animals too ... Lena, Raiffe, my parents, Meryl, the other ladies, which category is this? who are they? Anthony, of course, wait, who is the other one who died? Fuck it. Thank you all.


Oh, and: "Kate: (smiles widely and claps as Meryl Streep walks to stage...thinks it is because I'm fat)"

Absolutely - she's clearly watched too many of Emma Thompsons's brow-touching, slightly breathless award moments.

Nope - no British lady would blub that much when collecting a couple of Golden Globes.
