popular drama series `I Am Ruth`. According to Deadline, a US-based media house, the actor has three BAFTA awards in his career as an actor. She won against a highly competitive

nomination consisting of Billie Piper (I Hate Suzie Too), `Imelda Staunton` for the historical drama `Crown`, Maxine Peake (Anne), Vicky McClure (Without Sin) and `Happy Valley`

protagonist Sarah Lancashire. The show for which Winslet took home a BAFTA revolves around the story of a relationship between a mother and her daughter who is facing mental health

issues due to the social media era of her life. Taking up to the stage in order to deliver her acceptance speech Kate said, "We don`t want it and we want our children back. We
