Gervais rooting against Winslet Oscar
21/07/2005 - 14:25:28Ricky Gervais and English rose Kate Winslet are pretty pally after the actress appeared in his new comedy Extras – but he was overjoyed when Kate failed to pick up an Oscar for Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind.
The funnyman breathed a sigh of relief at Kate’s downfall because the episode she stars in is based on her not winning the coveted gong.
“We were worried that she was going to win,” Ricky told the Daily Mail.
“We had written the script and then she got nominated. We really felt bad. We were thinking: ’If she wins that could ruin the script.”’
