One person who absolutely won’t be boycotting the Oscars come February 28? Kate Winslet. And her decision to attend has less to do with her own supporting-actress nomination for Steve Jobs than her everlasting devotion to her Titanic love interest Leonardo DiCaprio.

When asked about the Oscars boycott at the London premiere of her latest film, Triple 9, Winslet revealed why she will be attending the awards ceremony despite the lack of minority nominees.

“I feel very strongly that it may possibly be Leo’s year,” Winslet said, referring to her beloved former co-star and friend, who is favored to finally win Hollywood’s big prize for his role in The Revenant. “[H]e is my closest friend in the world and I just couldn’t imagine not being there to support him.”

She does have another reason to attend, though.

“To be honest with you, it has been such an extraordinary year for women. I’d feel like I was letting my side down if I didn’t go,” Winslet told reporters, including the BBC. “I think those are reasons enough really to show my face.”

Her points are strong, especially since Winslet has been loyally campaigning for her Titanic co-star at ever turn, even waxing poetic about the actor to People magazine for no discernible reason other than, well, Leo. (“He’s a stronger actor in this moment than he’s ever been,” Winslet said. “I think he’s more handsome than he’s ever been.”)

And besides, who else would talk to DiCaprio during commercial breaks, staging mini-Titanic reunions each time?

Who else would hug him when he wins?

And who else would celebrate with him afterward?

We can’t think of a more worthy person. Hopefully the Academy is planning its seating chart accordingly.
