Kate Winslet led the charge on a night of glory for British talent at the Golden Globes.The English rose was named best TV actress for her role in Mildred Pierce – and celebrated with a kiss from Ned RocknRoll, her boyfriend of four months.   He'd stayed out of the way as she made a glamorous entrance in a monochrome column by Jenny Packham. But there's no doubt Kate and her beau – real name Ned Abel Smith –  are very much in love, as they enjoyed a tender embrace when her win was announced.

On the stage, she dedicated her award to her "beautiful children Mia and Joe". "They light up my life every day. I'm so proud to be their mum". "I'd like to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press for giving this award to me and for putting me in a category with such incredible heavyweights whom I feel honoured to stand alongside," she added.
