BEST PART OF LAST NIGHT.

Cate's reaction to her Elizabeth: The Golden Age clip. I think I love her now. Damn you, Cate Blanchett Aura!

lol

Cate Blanchett's performance in Elizabeth, The Golden Age is on the Razzie shortlist. Then again, so is Nicole Kidman's in The Golden Compass, a performance I thought was excellent, so...

(Okay, I admit it: Cate is a hoot in that movie. Is it a good performance? No. No, it is not. But it's hysterical.)

Cate looks a little deranged in this picture

Is it just me, or did Cate go from one of Oscar's most neglected to one of its most loved? Especially considering she's getting nuts buzz for both The Golden Age (though the backlash has started for that already, hooray!) and I'm Not There. I swear to God, if the Oscar Best Actress lineup has both Cate and Keira, no matter how good they are (though I shouldn't say that...), and no Julie Christie, I will cry. I will cry a lot.

...god, the Oscars. They make the most sane among us nuts.

My Top Cate Performances

Seriously, do I hate her? Or do I love her? AAAGHHH!!!
(People really need to stop saying she's "due" for an Oscar for The Golden Age. SHE JUST WON ONE TWO YEARS AGO.)

1. Elizabeth
2. The Gift (I am so serious)
3. The Good German
4. Veronica Guerin
5. Coffee and Cigarettes

why have i not seen this picture before?!

Clive Owen is HOT! HOT! HOT! God, he's so hot he makes me want to see that stupid Elizabeth sequel with whatsherface. I think I'm the only one that doesn't think that'll get Best Picture love (hopefully it'll get some Best Supporting? Actor love ;) ). I mean, a sequel nominated for Best Picture? Yeah, it's a historical drama, but assloads of those will be coming out this year and it doesn't have the "OMG, that actress we've never heard of is really good in this!!!" shock that Elizabeth had. Let's not kid ourselves into thinking that this is another Godfather or Lord of the Rings.

... of course I am probably totally wrong, but that's the fun of the Oscars a year in advance. ;) And going back to the original point: CLIVE OWEN IS HOT!
