We don’t even need another film about the Holocaust, do we? It’s like how many have there been? I know, we get it, it was grim. Move on.
I’m doing this role because I’ve noticed if you do a film about the Holocaust, you’re guaranteed an Oscar. I’ve been nominated four times — never won. The whole world is going “Why hasn’t Winslet won one?”
That’s why I’m doing it. Schindler’s-bloody-List? The Pianist? Oscars coming out of their ass.
