Kate Winslet played a bawdy, irreverent version of herself in Kate Winslet (2005). She poked fun of actors who do movies about the Holocaust, especially when they win Oscars. "I'm doing it because I've noticed that if you do a film about the Holocaust, guaranteed Oscar! I've been nominated four times. Never won. The whole world is going 'why hasn't Winslet won one?'...That's it. That's why I'm doing it. Schindler's bloody List. The Pianist (2002). Oscars coming out of their arse." Three years later, Winslet made this film and won an Oscar for Best Actress. Winslet later addressed this, saying, "This was never a Holocaust movie to me ... That's part of the story and provides something of a backdrop ... But to me it was always an extraordinarily unconventional love story."
To avoid legal problems, the crew waited until after David Kross' 18th birthday, July 4, 2008, to film his sex scenes.
Talking with The Sun in 2012 about her nude scenes in this and other films, Kate Winslet admitted "I look like the people that walk down the street. I don't have perfect boobs, I don't have zero cellulite. Of course I don't, and I'm curvy. If that is something that makes women feel empowered in any way, that's great. On a deeper, subconscious level, it's one of the reasons why I've allowed my stupid self to be so naked on screen," Winslet said. "It's partly because I do believe that it's right for the character and it's right for the story but it's also knowing that not many people do that, actually, and not just that, but I'm a normal person."
When Kate Winslet accepted her Oscar for Best Actress, her "thank you" list deliberately excluded Harvey Weinstein. He hadn't sexually propositioned her, but she found his aggressive 'business behavior' with her over the years repugnant.
