Cate Blanchett Takes The Colbert Questionert

Will She win it though,?; while (unless You and nineteen or twenty others know something some two months prior that You'd like to share with the class); that's Speculation on Your Part. .. in much the same way as with mirzaz's equally subjective response. While.. .... sure, given how certain genres have fared in the past; Ta'r in fact (Probably) will win. ... Though neither are the Best Feminine Lead Performances of the year. - Which I will Happily Dive into further with Gleeful Reckless Abandon if called or inquired to do so.

The hilarious thing that some KZbin viewers may have missed is that in the monologue when he announced Cate Blanchett he did comment that she should could do anything she wants when she comes out, including laying down on the desk. So I completely expected that. Few actresses could have conjured the wit and composure required to play out that whole move with such grace and natural aplomb. Cate Blanchett is a goddess (and not just of death).

Or you can have meatballs with sugo... The word "sugo" means "sauce". That said, Cate is terrific! Love from Rome.

[@aussiemiss1442]

Love the talented women who don’t need to change their looks but age beautifully. Emma Thompson Kate Blanchett. Judy Dench, Helen Mirren, Gena Rolland Sally field, Meryl Streep. I’m not saying they have had no work done but they allow the signs of age to show in a way that adds to their beauty. I guess they are at peace in their own skin. Grabbing the best parts because of their incredible talent. I will not mention the beautiful actresses who sadly all look likes sisters because the faces appear to change into the same caricature. All that pain and they are not getting the work.
