After winning the Best Actress Oscar for Blue Jasmine less than two years ago, Cate Blanchett got busy. She had been spending much of her time doing theater projects in her native Australia or appearing in smaller parts in such blockbusters as The Hobbit trilogy and How To Train Your Dragon 2. But this year has been a virtual Blanchett-fest, starting in March with her role as the stepmother in Disney’s Cinderella, and continuing this fall with leading roles in the 1950s lesbian romance Carol, and as 60 Minutes producer Mary Mapes in Truth. Both latter roles have won wide praise and yet present a quandary for Oscar voters. They are both leads—and Academy rules state that only one acting performance can be nominated in the same category, which means the votes for both roles could split. But this is a good problem to have, especially for someone who already has two Oscars on her mantle—the first won 10 years ago for her role as Katharine Hepburn in The Aviator. It’s been a great decade for today’s Great Cate.

Don’t Look Up is a film about miscommunication, among many other things—misinformation, mismanagement, and mistakes included.
Interesting look. What do you think? Earlier today the cast of the upcoming Borderlands film from Lionsgate revealed a first look at the infamous treasure hunter Lilith played by Cate Blachett.
What an actress Blanchett is. Would watcher her read the phone book. I hope Fincher does that movie next.
Saw Carol the other day, she was fantastic, will definitely get nominated for an Oscar, probably a supporting?
