Get into romantic comedies, more humility in her roles.
I kind of agree with you, but I think she does have that range. It’s just that those movies where she’s showcased that versatility are kind of underseen. But I would LOVEEE Blanchett in a rom com, that’s a genre she has never explored tbh.
March 14, 2023 at 10:59 am #1205352010I just know one thing, I’m praying for my girl Amy’s renaissance with Nightbitch. And of course Marielle Heller is way overdue for at least a nomination. The movie sounds like a hell of a wild ride (plenty memes incoming), could go either ways critically.
March 13, 2023 at 6:22 am #1205350170I haven’t followed this season much, but Michelle Yeoh looked angelic, so thrilled for her and Quan, and it was a truly memorable night for Asian representation on screen. Would I have loved them to spread the wealth a little bit? Definitely. I don’t hold this against EEAAO as it was a wonderful film, but I just feel they didn’t have to give the Daniels Picture, Directing AND Screenplay. This seems like an Oscars problem though, they just award one film these three awards (I’m looking at you Iñárritu) and others are left to go home with nothing.
As for Blanchett, being a fan of her performance in Tar, I am a bit sad cause she would have made history as the youngest actress ever to win three Oscars. But I am at peace with her loss as Michelle was equally deserving and I don’t think its necessary for a performance to be awarded to have longevity- some of my favourite performances haven’t won Oscars.
ReplyFebruary 23, 2023 at 5:32 am #1205314538The CCA stats just don’t matter enough (either to the critics themselves or to others) to make any impact on their own voting while the Dench-Smith comparison is quite a stretch imo. Between nominations and wins, one can say quite a lot of actresses have equal BAFTA status as Blanchett but none are close to the level of the two Dames. They’re a league of their own. Even at SAG, Blanchett’s individual record (2 wins,11 noms) is matched by or surpassed by Viola Davis (5 wins), Nicole Kidman (10 noms) and Kate Winslet (11 noms and 4 wins) among film stars. And unlike King, Kidman and Winslet, Blanchett isn’t a streaming draw atleast not till now (although she’s made only one project there so we should wait to see Disclaimer’s numbers). Blanchett is one of the most towering actresses of our generation but let’s not behave as if she’s above some of her peers when all of them coexist simultaneously and are equally good.
Blanchett and Kidman are definitely in a league of their own. Kidman is pretty underrated by the Oscars. Winslet is great for sure, but the past decade has been quite lackluster and she hasn’t yet exhibited the range of Blanchett or Kidman. Just my opinion though.
Also regarding the BAFTAs, I don’t think a lot of actresses have the same status as Blanchett. Nominations wise maybe (though I think only Dench, Streep and Smith have more nominations than her, and Blanchett herself is tied with Winslet at 8), but awards wise only Dench and Maggie Smith have more than her (5 each- Dench has six but one is for promising newcomer). No other actress has won 4 BAFTAs.
January 14, 2023 at 10:16 pm #1205243604This ship has sailed already, why can’t they put this energy in someone who actually has a chance at winning (or even being nominated) like Michelle Yeoh or Danielle Deadwyler
The actresses you have mentioned already have major studio backing and Oscar campaigns underway. They’ve been nominated for industry awards and invited to major fyc events.
January 14, 2023 at 10:12 pm #1205243599Posting the same damn thing written by someone’s publicist at the same time is organic? Come on now, we are smarter than this. Seriously, it almost feels like that’s an anti-campaign against another actress.
I mean yeah, those tweets are weird. But these are just a few tweets, a majority of them are not copy pasting; the posts on instagram are full of praise for her performance, not to mention all the A-list stars. I don’t feel that there is anything “fishy” about this and don’t know why people are so pressed about this, as if Andrea has stolen their cat or something. People on this forum seem to have no issue about other actresses having million-dollar campaigns, what’s the issue now? You all are so hypocritical about your support for independent films and performances.
But I do think it’s late to start this now, but maybe they thought that Oscar voting period was their best shot?
December 16, 2022 at 6:44 am #1205197403It will be one of the worst wins ever but I don’t think she will win. I think they will go with Michelle Yeoh, who gives a great performance. There are better ones that may or may not be nominated but Yeoh would be an excellent choice nevertheless.
I don’t understand how anyone can watch Tár and come back with that takeaway. But there’s a difference between not wanting a performance to get an Oscar vs calling it the “worst” and irrationaly hating on it every given chance.
October 9, 2022 at 9:55 am #1205112476TAR scored $160k in 4 venues, with a $40k per location average. Curious to see how it fares at the BO.

A new TV spot for TAR!!! Literally shaking
September 8, 2022 at 12:03 pm #1205073237TÁR could also go ‘The Favourite’ route, winning the Grand Jury as well as the Volpi
ReplySeptember 3, 2022 at 11:22 pm #1205065692While some are worrying whether it will appeal to general audience, a close example, The Favourite, comes up to my mind, which is also artistic but still did well with industry voters and eventually took home Best Actress. They even both premiered in Venice! TAR might follow a similar path to it and has even bigger chances in Best Director.
Not to mention both made it to NYFF and Telluride as well, skipping TIFF
ReplySeptember 1, 2022 at 8:18 am #1205061476OMGGG GOODNESS ME!! Cate is truly coming y’all
Venice: “Little Children” director Todd Field returns to screens with one of the most exciting new American films in years.

July 29, 2022 at 11:00 am #1205028995Babe that’s all she does in the trailer which is all these “sources” have seen let’s be real
Too many “sources”, “seems”, “already” statements for my liking to take seriously, when will people learn? I could literally set up a Twitter account, claim to be at Venice or Cannes and that my “sources” said a movie is going to win 10 Oscars and people would believe it…
I agree about the “sources” thing but in this case Barbera himself said that Cate was amazing. Of course he might be using her name for publicity but at this stage it does feel like there is a lot of buzz for TAR, especially since it’s also going to Telluride. Things could definitely change in the coming months.
