Zoe Saldana has revealed that she would love to follow in the footsteps of Kate Winslet and win an Oscar.
The actress made her name in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest but looks set to shoot to fame in Star Trek as she takes on the role of linguistics expert Nyota Uhura.
In an interview with Latina Magazine the actress said: "You know that cover that Kate Winslet did for Vanity Fair recently, where she said, 'You bet your ass I want that Oscar'? Well, it’s the same with me.
"I’m not going to be like, ‘I just want to be known for my work’. No, I want that golden statue on my shelf.
"Whether it happens or not, it will not determine the kind of substance I feel I contributed. But I want it."
And the American actress has a busy couple of years as she is set to star in Burning Palms and Avatar, both of which are in post production. The latter sees her star with Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver and Giovanni Ribisi.
She is currently filming the American version of British film Death at a Funeral with The Losers in pre-production.
