What doesn't kill you, earns you a Best Actress Golden Globe! That is, if you are the incredibly talented Kate Winslet. The star of Revolutionary Road, a must-see for all married moms, also took home the award for best supporting actress for her work in The Reader.

Aside from making incredible movies — Little Children, Titanic, The Life of David Gale, to name a few — the British born beauty is raising two children — Mia, 8, and Joe, 5 — with her husband, director Sam Mendes. At last night's awards, the mum thanked everyone from her costars to her hair and makeup artists. But, she saved the best kudos to her kids for last on both occasions, even mentioning that they were on set during the filming of Revolutionary Road. During her first acceptance, she said:

To my children, Mia and Joe, who are watching this on TV. Look. I won! Thank you for coming on this adventure with mommy.

Congratulations to this down-to-earth mama who piggy backs her kids home from school. We can't wait until her next performance!

The Beckham brothers have inherited their dad's cutting good looks and their mom's sense of fashion, but the three also like to dress down and be casual kids.

Mommy Victoria Beckham and her boys had a grand time in Rome this weekend before they were spotted at Heathrow on their way home Saturday night. Clearly Victoria knows flannel is in, as Brooklyn and Romeo both sported comfy button-downs, dungarees and sneakers. Lil Cruz opted for a red and blue athletic ensemble and none of the brothers had a drop of gel in their hair.
