In 2007, Winkleman was the face of Sky Movie Premiere's coverage of the 79th Academy Awards, repeating it for the 80th Academy Awards in 2008. The show was broadcast live in conjunction with the ceremony itself, running right through the night into the early hours of the morning. Winkleman has made many guest appearances on panel and talk shows, including: "Never Mind the Buzzcocks", "Would I Lie to You?", "Have I Got News for You", "Friday Night with Jonathan Ross" and "Lily Allen and Friends". In February 2008, she appeared on the British version of the comedy improvisational show "Thank God You're Here", hosted by Paul Merton.
