The science fiction romance Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, in which Winslet was cast against type in a contemporary setting, proved to be a turning point in her career, and she gained further recognition for her performances in Finding Neverland, Little Children, Revolutionary Road, and The Reader. For playing a former Nazi camp guard in the last of these, she won the BAFTA Award and Academy Award for Best Actress. In the 2010s, Winslet played a single mother in 1930s America in the miniseries Mildred Pierce, joined the Divergent film series, and portrayed Joanna Hoffman in Steve Jobs. She won a Primetime Emmy Award for the first of these and a third BAFTA Award for the lattermost. In 2021, she starred in the HBO crime drama miniseries "Mare of Easttown".
