The Titanic star has been given the nod for her performances in Revolutionary Road and The Reader.
Winslet will go up against fellow Brit Kristin Scott Thomas for her role in I've Loved You Too Long, Angelina Jolie for Changeling, and Meryl Streep for Doubt.
British director Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire - which scooped four Golden Globes this year (09) - has been nominated in eleven categories, including best film, best British film and best director.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button also received eleven nominations, with the film's star Brad Pitt up for best actor alongside Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire), Frank Langella (Frost/Nixon), Sean Penn (Milk), and Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler).
Pitt is also nominated in the best supporting actor category for Burn After Reading alongside the late Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight), Robert Downey Jnr. (Tropic Thunder), Brendan Gleeson (In Bruges) and Phillip Seymour Hoffman (Doubt).
