ate Winslet's Acceptance Speech for the Best British Actress Award from Empire Magazine For her role in Heavenly Creatures. Presented by Sir Ian McKellen.

"Oh God, this wasn't meant to happen. Crumbs. Thank you so much! God there's so many people to thank. Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh, Peter directed Heavenly Creatures and Fran the co-writer, and Mel Lynskey (Looks at her Heavenly Creatures co-star, seated in the audience) I just couldn't have done it without you Mel, you were so wonderful and so much a part of me and of Juliet. Let's not forget that this was a true story. I want to accept this award, I think, on behalf of the producer, Jim Booth, who died of cancer shortly after we'd finished filming...Jim, this is for you. Thanks very much."
