The consecration for Cate Blanchett

Well, she had won a BAFTA for Blue Jasmine, which made me very happy, and now my favourite actress won the Oscar for Best Actress. Thoroughly deserved. Anybody else would have been a downright travesty. Cate Blanchett got cheated of her Oscar back in 1999. I always thought she was the greatest actress of her generation since then. Now with this Oscar, and the praise for her role as Jasmine, I think we can talk of a certain confirmation of this. It is certainly a consecration for her. And here's her acceptance speech.

Praises for Cate Blanchett

I did not watch the whole BAFTA ceremony yesterday, but I did watch a bit. In fact, I watched just enough, by this I mean that I managed to see what I wanted to see: Cate Blanchett winning best actress for her role in Blue Jasmine. Which I haven't seen yet. Shame on me. I will correct this soon. I hope she wins the Oscar, she deserves it, if only for not getting it as she should have had in Elizabeth. Anyway, I love to see her winning, always great to see her incredible acting mastery recognized. And I know I sound like a groupie. But I indulge myself because I love the art that is acting and Cate Blanchett masters it.
