The five time Oscar nominated actress finally won on her sixth nomination in 2009 for The Reader. The actress also has two BAFTA awards, two Golden Globes, an Emmy award and a Grammy.

The 38-year-old only needs to win a Tony award to complete the elusive and highly regarded EGOT, where a person wins all four of the major American entertainment awards.

Kate gave birth to her third child, Bear, last December. It was her first child with Ned Rocknroll, whom she married in earlier in the year.

She has two other children from her previous marriage, and Kate recently insisted that she was in no rush to lose any of the baby weight she may have gained. "Having just had a baby, I’m not going to be thinking about my arse," she said.
