Cate Blanchett in Chanel at the Lancome pre-BAFTA party: dowdy or cute?
The BAFTAs are tonight. If you?re in America, the awards will air on BBC America beginning at 7:30 pm, although I?m guessing that from 7:30-8 pm, they?ll be doing red carpet stuff. You can see the full list of this year?s BAFTA nominees here. This is just a fashion post for all of the pre-BAFTA parties over the weekend. The biggest event ? and the event in which we have the most photos ? was last night?s pre-BAFTA Lancome party held at Kensington Palace. There was also a Weinstein Company/Grey Goose party on Saturday night, and most people just wore the same frocks to both parties. Let?s start with Cate Blanchett at the Lancome party ? she wore this Chanel dress which? it isn?t good. At all. She?s a beautiful woman, but this makes her look SO dowdy, almost frumpy.

Cate in Aouadi Spring 2016 couture on Friday night. All of the pieces are there for me to hate this ? it?s a terrible beige shade, the dress involves a built-in bib/dickie ? but I actually think this is okay, even good. But perhaps that?s because it?s Cate.

Speaking of frumpy, here?s Dakota Johnson in Chanel. Check out her black-hose-and-open-toe-shoe combo. That?s such a rookie mistake. Ugh. This whole look makes no sense ? the dress is ?elderly lady who lunches? and the shoes-and-hose combo is ?fancy New Jersey stripper.?

Penelope Cruz in a bridal-themed?something. I can’t find the ID on this, but it doesn’t seem like Chanel.

Emilia Clarke in Giambattista Valli. Why does such a petite woman wear such ?big? dresses? I will never know. I think Emilia needs to take a page out of Alicia Vikander?s book of dressing-while-petite and go for simple, clean lines.

Here’s Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander leaving the Louis Vuitton party last night:

And finally, here’s Eddie Redmayne and his pregnant wife Hannah at the Lancome party. I bet she’s wearing McQueen.

Cate Blanchett in Givenchy at the Golden Globes: Old West saloon lampshade?

Cate Blanchett in Givenchy at the Golden Globes: Old West saloon lampshade?
Cate Blanchett didn?t win last night. I was a little bit surprised by that, just because it feels like it?s been years since Cate went to an awards show and walked away empty-handed. It also feels like it?s been years since Cate went to an awards show and her gown wasn?t one of the most talked-about red carpet moments. Cate wore this pale Givenchy to the Globes last night, and if you had told me that it was Marchesa, I would have believed you. It bugs me that Cate chose this dress out of all the dresses she has access to. I mean, if she just wanted to phone it in, Armani would have sent her anything. And that?s what it felt like ? like she was just phoning it in sartorially. If I wanted to be unkind, I might compare the dress to an Old West saloon lampshade. There was some effort with the hair, and I really don?t like it. It?s too stiff?

Kate Winslet in Ralph Lauren. God, she annoys me. It?s not even her style or anything, although there?s something to be said for Winslet finally understanding what looks good on her, and just wearing versions of the same two dresses over and over like a red carpet uniform. She looked fine here. Annoying, but fine.

As I said on Twitter last night, Brie Larson has been quietly waging a very effective Oscar campaign. She?s going to all of the right events, shaking all the right hands, doing press and not making any waves. She?s not desperate. She?s not try-hard. She?s appreciative, kind, generous and sweet. She always remembers to say something nice about Jacob Tremblay, her young costar. No one has anything bad to say about her. If she continues to play it like this, I think she?ll be the one to beat for the Best Actress Oscar, quite honestly. Even Brie?s custom Calvin Klein gown was inoffensive. It wasn?t my favorite thing on the red carpet, in motion, but it photographs well and she looked very pretty. Well played, Brie!

Cate Blanchett adopted from America because of Australia's terrible adoption laws

Cate Blanchett adopted from America because of Australia's terrible adoption laws
I?m almost positive that Cate Blanchett is going to walk away with yet another Oscar nomination this year, this time for Carol. People are still debating whether Rooney Mara will be included in Supporting or Lead Actress categories, but there?s no debate about Cate ? she?s totally a sure thing for a nomination. Probably not the actual Oscar this year, but it will be fun seeing her awards show fashion. Cate covers the new issue of Harper?s Bazaar UK to talk about Carol, Truth and other projects, but mostly she talks about adopting her baby girl, Edith. Cate and her husband Andrew Upton adopted Edith from America, because apparently Australia?s adoption laws are kind of terrible. Some highlights:

Becoming a mom again with Edith: ?It?s always the first time. Always. I?m not planning on working much in 2016 either. Our three biological children have been extraordinary. It?s been wonderful watching them become a little brood.?

She & Andrew have wanted to adopt for years: ?We got a phone call earlier this year and we adopted a little girl. You?re on the list and then you get the call. You don?t know anything about the child you?re going to meet.?

Why she found Australian adoption laws difficult: ?The laws have to shift towards the best interests of the children. Otherwise what happens is these children end up being shunted back and forth through the foster system, and ultimately if that goes on until the child is five or seven, then the damage is just… In Australia, it?s an understandable hangover from the Stolen Generations. When a country has a history of children being immorally and insensitively ripped from their parents and their place of origin and it doesn?t get resolved, the adoption laws swing, understandably, not in favour of the child.?

More orphans to come: ?We?re going to see a new wave of orphans coming out of the Syrian crisis and Europe, and the rest of the world is going to have to respond. It?s a world issue.?

[From The Daily Mail]

If you?d like to read more about the Stolen Generations, go here. A few weeks ago, I read an interview with Zahn McClarnon ? who brilliantly played Hanzee in Fargo ? talking about playing a Native American character who ended up living with a white family for much of his childhood. The way McClarnon talked about it, it made me realize that Native American children were still being shunted off to white families as late as the 1960s in America. And yet we still manage to have a more lax adoption framework than Australia, I guess.

Cate Blanchett is in talks to star alongside Tom Hiddleston in 'Thor: Ragnarok'
Added 8 years agoSource: CeleBitchy
Cate Blanchett is in talks to star alongside Tom Hiddleston in 'Thor: Ragnarok'
My new favorite thing in the comments is when people accuse me of being ?anti-DC Comics? and too ?pro-Marvel.? Honestly, I couldn?t care less about either comics house. My general emotion/feeling is one of anxiety, actually. I have a feeling of anxiety for Hollywood, simply because I think studios are putting all of their eggs into the superhero-franchise basket, and that model simply cannot be sustainable long-term. At some point, people will lose interest. I think. Maybe I?m wrong. Maybe we need ten more iterations of Batman?s origin story (oh, his parents were killed in front of him, how shocking). Maybe we need to see Tony Stark quip and punch his way through every obstacle ten more times.

I also take issue with both Marvel and DC for their historic lack of interest in even paying lip service to their female fans and their female characters. But after years of criticism, at least someone, somewhere has been trying to make some tweaks and changes to make their franchises a little bit better and female-friendly. Marvel has been praised for their ?feminist neo-noir? Jessica Jones (a Netflix series) as well as their Agent Carter series. Marvel has also been making some interesting casting choices for their film franchises in the past year, like hiring Tilda Swinton and Rachel McAdams for Doctor Strange. And now this ? Marvel is in talks with Cate Blanchett for a part in Thor: Ragnarok. A two-time Oscar winner starring alongside Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Idris Elba and more? Huh.

Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett may soon be joining the Marvel universe. Sources tell Variety Blanchett is in talks to play one of the new female leads in Marvel?s ?Thor: Ragnarok.? Marvel had no comment. Blanchett, having just received SAG and Golden Globe nominations for ?Carol,? would be making her first major comic book role in ?Ragnarok.?

Taika Waiti in on board to direct the third ?Thor? film with Chris Hemsworth returning to play the Norse God. Stephany Folsom recently polished the script. Blanchett?s character in the superhero sequel isn?t known. ?Ragnarok,? produced by Kevin Feige, will also feature Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk and the villainous Tom Hiddleston who plays Loki in ?The Avengers? universe. ?Thor: Ragnarok? hits theaters on Nov. 3, 2017.

Blanchett is no stranger to the fanboy universe, having appeared in multiple ?Lord of the Rings? and ?Hobbit? films for Peter Jackson.

[From Variety]

To me, Cate?s potential inclusion in the Thor franchise is very much like adding Tilda Swinton to the cast of Doctor Strange. Meaning, I think it?s a good play for everyone involved. Cate (like Tilda) has an other-worldly quality that enables her to play queens, aliens, goddesses, fairies and whatever else you want to throw at her. She?ll be able to fit into the Thor world pretty well, I?m assuming. Plus, this is a woman with three adolescent/tween sons, the core audience for many Marvel films. She probably wants to make a movie that her sons would and could see. I hope Cate gets scenes with Hiddles.

Cate Blanchett: Conversations about gender equality are 'like Groundhog Day'
Added 8 years agoSource: CeleBitchy
Cate Blanchett: Conversations about gender equality are 'like Groundhog Day'
Over the past few months, I?ve been getting the feeling that Cate Blanchett is no longer a favorite around here. Just know: I still genuinely like her, even though she sometimes sounds like an a?hole. I still prefer Cate to many, many actresses. I think the problem with Cate might be that we?ve set the bar so high with her in particular ? like, she must be all things to all people, she must always say the correct thing about every subject, and that?s just? impossible. Anyway, Cate has a feature in GQ?s Men of the Year issue and it?s really funny and interesting. She basically sits at a bar and gets hammered on martinis with the GQ journalist. She tells stories about Australia?s feral cats, the Sony Hack, how she really feels about Quentin Tarantino?s diss a few months ago (QT said ?Half of these Cate Blanchett movies?they’re all just like these arty things? and all she?ll say is that she?s a QT fan) and how Aaron Sorkin doesn?t think actresses are as talented and hard-working as actors. Some highlights:

The endless conversations about gender equality: “It just feels like the industry has the same conversation every year, and I think that’s a fabulous conversation? We’ll be back here like Groundhog Day next year having the same f–king symposium. It just has to shift.”

Acting is not therapy: “I do something where I physically get up most days of the week and do weird sh-t and have catharsis. And so I guess any of that unprocessed stuff kind of gets worked through?it’s not that I’m seeing my job as some form of therapy. I mean, I ?nd that notion quite disgusting, actually?repulsive. But I do have catharsis in my work. If I was an unemployed actor, I think I’d probably be less emotionally healthy. You know what I mean?”

The Sony Hack emails: “No, no, I don’t read that sh-t. No, I’m interested in talking about what the Sony hack means, but in terms of trolling through it to ?nd out about who said what about who? I didn’t assume that it could have had anything to do with me, but I guess I’ve worked for them or have had intersections with them so? Yeah, and the other thing is I’m not in this business expecting or wanting everyone to like what I do. Believe me, I’m the harshest critic of what I do myself, so no one can say anything worse out there than I say to myself. And I’ve worked with a lot of people that I wouldn’t necessarily want to go out to dinner with?.I knew that it was hacked, but I didn’t go and troll over the broken bones and identify the dead bodies. I didn’t do that. I was doing other stuff.”

What she could do beyond acting: “Yeah, but I don’t know what it is. What should I do? You got any suggestion? I can’t write. I can’t knit. I’m not crafty. I can cook. I can’t retire. What would you do, develop a hobby like golf? I tried golf; I’m really bad at it. I’m a full-time mother and I’m doing that. My husband said to me when we were living in Brighton, years ago in England, and I was talking about giving up acting, he said to me, ‘What are you passionate about?’ And I said, ‘The amount of plastic bags in the world.’ And so I reduced my passion to the proliferation of plastic bags. It’s that bad. I mean I really need to go and see a lifestyle coach or a career guidance counselor or something.”

[From GQ]

I?ve been feeling the Groundhog Day vibe off of the feminism/gender equality conversations too, although to be fair to the ?conversations,? I do think they move the needle. A little bit. In some places. Like, we?re getting to the point where there are more stories about studio accountability, a hunger for more female-driven projects, and actual evidence that those female-driven projects can deliver.

As for her Sony Hack comments, she was responding to questions about what she thought of Aaron Sorkin?s comments to Maureen Dowd about how actresses have it easier than actors, etc. I find it interesting that ?I didn?t read that stuff? is the new ?no comment.? Angelina Jolie said something similar too ? that she was vaguely aware but she didn?t read it.

Oh, and here are some photos of Cate at the Pirelli calendar launch event a few days ago. Her dress is Stella McCartney and it?s awful ? so unflattering.

Cate Blanchett: 'Art is supposed to be a provocation, not an education'

Cate Blanchett: 'Art is supposed to be a provocation, not an education'
Cate Blanchett sees you, Tilda Swinton. And Cate will out-Tilda any day of the week! For the record, I think both Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton are perfectly strange aliens and I?m perfectly capable of believing that their home planet sent both of them down here to rule the human race. Anyway, here?s Cate on the cover of the December issue of W Magazine ? you can see the absolutely crazy and Tilda-esque slideshow here. Cate appears on W Mag to promote Carol, which is probably her best bet at an Oscar nomination this year after Truth bombed at the box office (and the reviews weren?t great). You can read the full W Mag piece here. Some highlights:

Cate on male artists & their obsessions: ?I read about this artist who left his girlfriend for four years. He wanted to make art away from any distractions, but he came home with four matchboxes filled with dust. He was so obsessed with her and with art that he ended up creating nothing. Every time I start a project?and I certainly felt this way with Carol?I have to embrace the fear that it might be a disaster. I like that feeling of consequence.?

She?s not perfect: ?I am not perfect. The wheels are constantly falling off? When Andrew and I decided to run the theater company, in 2008, I didn?t think I?d have a movie career to go back to. But that was okay: When I consider the characters I might play, I find turning points to be very interesting. There?s a line from the novelist Jeanette Winterson: ?What you risk reveals what you value??and that?s always stuck with me.?

The controversy over lesbian relationships, on-screen and in life: ?Art is supposed to be a provocation, not an education. In 2015, the point should be: Who cares if I had lesbian relationships or not? Call me old-fashioned, but I?ve always thought that my job as an actor was to raise and expand the audience?s sense of the universe? And I have always found criticism interesting. Like art, film should never be absolute or bow to a market survey of ?correct intentions.???

[From W Magazine]

?Art is supposed to be a provocation, not an education.? I?m not sure how I feel about that. Why not both? Why can?t some art be educational and some art be provocative and some art can be both? And at this point, some of us are tired of endless provocations. That?s like the Madonna/Lady Gaga School of Art: all provocation with little to nothing to say, no ?there? there. And I also take issue with the idea that artists and filmmakers should never, ever ?bow? to political correctness or whatever. I mean, I understand that she?s saying artists should be free to explore whatever they want free from censorship, but sometimes I feel like artists confuse ?censorship? with criticism. You make your ?art? and sometimes people are going to think that it?s stupid or weak or insubstantial, and that?s life. That?s not a ?market survey of ?correct intentions.??

Cate Blanchett: 'I would play Donald Trump in a heartbeat, I?m there.'
Added 8 years agoSource: CeleBitchy
Cate Blanchett: 'I would play Donald Trump in a heartbeat, I?m there.'
Cate Blanchett covered the Guardian?s Weekend Magazine to promote her fall films, Carol and Truth. In the weeks since we?ve discussed Blanchett?s movies, the idea that Blanchett could or would earn some awards nominations for Truth have sort of faded away. The film wasn?t very well received critically, and at this point, if Cate is going to get nominated this year, it?s going to be for Carol. Anyway, you can read the Guardian?s interview with Cate here. She was pretty chatty with the magazine, but we?ve heard a lot of this stuff before. Some highlights:

Being 46 years old: ?Actress years are like dog years. So that makes me about 120.?

On LGBT rights, sexism: ?Well, the fact that we?re talking about it means there are still barriers. It?s like the situation with women in film ? or, frankly, women in every industry ? not being paid the same as men. You have to keep it on the agenda. You have to keep it politicised. But I?m not very interested in agitprop cinema. That?s the realm of the documentary. That?s where investigative journalism belongs. The problem is that when you represent a character in a same-sex relationship, it?s like you have to represent them all. You become a spokesperson, which really isn?t the point. When the time comes that we have a diversity of same-sex couples in film, then the problem is solved, I don?t have to stand for everyone.?

On being misrepresented as having ?many? relationships with women: ?Look. I also just played Mary Mapes, who?s a journalist. No one asked me how long I?d been to journalism school. If I played someone who has an affair, I think a reporter would probably think twice before asking, ?Ooh, how many affairs have you had?? It would be a slightly delicate area. But there are no holds barred about asking me whether I?ve had relationships with women. And so I facetiously said, ?Oh yes, I?ve had many relationships with women? ? because frankly, who hasn?t? Of course I said it in inverted commas. But the inverted commas didn?t make the page.?

Being a working actress and mother: ?Now, I might be wrong, but I don?t think they put the same question to male actors, do they??

Stepping away from her film career: ?When I stepped away to run the theatre company, a lot of people said, ?This is a mistake. You realise you have a certain shelf life and you?re throwing that away.? But I think it?s made me a better actor. If it hasn?t, I?m a f–king idiot. But you do carry that fear with you. When I was getting ready to leave [the company], I did think, ?Well, I?m in my 40s, I don?t know if I?ve even got a film career to go back to.? And then Blue Jasmine landed in my lap.?

She doesn?t want to sound wanky. ?Acting can be an anthropological process. I don?t want to sound wanky or pompous about it ? my son calls it pump-ass ? but I think that?s what it is.?

Empathy & Donald Trump: ?I think that empathy is a noble cause. I think a point of understanding is probably a good thing. I mean, with some people it?s harder than with others. If I was playing Donald Trump, it might be a tall order?. I would play Donald Trump in a heartbeat. The comb-over? I?m there. Todd Haynes could make a whole new film. Six different incarnations of Trump.?

[From The Guardian]

A significant chunk of the interview is devoted to discussing Blue Jasmine and what it was like working with Woody Allen. It?s interesting because during Cate?s awards blitz two years ago, all of the questions about Woody Allen were shunned because of all of the controversies. But I guess Cate thinks that it?s passed and she can now talk about it? Perhaps. And yes, I would love to see her play Donald Trump. Why do I think she would be somewhat brilliant at that?

Cate Blanchett in McQueen & Schiaparelli at BFI LFF: stunning or fug?
Here are some photos of Cate Blanchett at the BFI London Film Festival over the weekend. She had two big fashion looks, both of which were pretty flawless. The white gown is Alexander McQueen and the black velvet dress is Schiaparelli (look at the pockets OMG). You know what I enjoy? Blanchett has been doing nonstop press for several weeks but she never relied on just one designer. She wore McQueen, Armani, Proenza Schouler, Givenchy and several avant-garde designers that are lesser known. She really flexed her fashionista muscles this month and I?ve been enjoying it so much.

The black-velvet dress was for the LFF premiere of Truth. Cate wore the McQueen for the final night awards, which is where she was honored with a BFI Fellowship, handed to her by her friend Ian McKellen. The BFI Fellowship was sort of like a Best Actress Award for Cate, from what I can tell, which makes sense because she premiered her two major roles (Truth and Carol) at the London Film Festival. Which of these films will earn Cate her Oscar nomination this year? Will Truth end up taking a backseat to Carol? It could go either way.

Meanwhile, there?s a little scandal with Truth, the 60 Minutes-Memogate film. The film is based on Mary Mapes? memoir and as such, it is not sanctioned by CBS News or 60 Minutes (Mapes was sh-tcanned over the scandal). Apparently, CBS News is so pissed about the movie that they?re not even allowing Sony Pictures Classics to buy ad space during CBS programming! Variety reports that Sony Pictures Classics tried to buy ads during 60 Minutes, The Late Show and the CBS Evening News and they were turned down completely. Which seems like cutting off your nose to spite your face? I mean, the jig is up. We know there was a scandal. We know it involved CBS. We know there?s a film about the scandal.

Cate Blanchett on wage inequality: 'It's boring. I mean, equal pay for equal work'

Cate Blanchett on wage inequality: 'It's boring. I mean, equal pay for equal work'
Cate Blanchett is one of us. Meaning that Cate is kind of tired of the earnest and well-meaning discussions about wage inequality, the dearth of quality roles for women in Hollywood and whether she actually needed to have romantic relationships with women to play a lesbian in Carol. Cate is finishing up her whirlwind two weeks of nonstop promotion and she’s exhausted from the same old conversations. Cate was asked about wage inequality by the Wall Street Journal and her reaction was basically, ?Enough already, pay women the same as men, full stop.? Then she chatted with Yahoo UK and you could really tell that she?s done with answering these questions.

On wage inequality: ?It?s boring, it?s boring, boring, boring. Let?s just get on with it, it?s not just the film industry, it?s across all industries. I mean, equal pay for equal work.?

On complicated heroines on film: ?Every time there?s interesting, complex roles played by actresses on screen, someone says, ?do you think this is a breakthrough?? and ?does this mean there?s going to be more of the same?? We seem to find ourselves in the same conversation and that?s somehow remarkable. I think there?s a swath of great roles for women and certainly, there?s some wonderful female performers. It?s just time to get on with it really.?

The language around same-sex relationships: ?I think even if this film had been made five or 10 years ago, it would have been perceived as being more political. The landscape and the conversation around same-sex relationships has advanced in many countries? so the universality of the love story comes to the fore, rather than the political agenda.?

The story, earlier this year, that she?s had ?many? relationships with women: ?If I was playing someone who had an affair, I think there would be a moment of pause before a journalist asked me how many affairs I have had. And if I was playing an axe murderer, they wouldn?t necessarily ask me how many people I?ve murdered. I probably answered in a way that was a bit facetious and they took it literally. No offence, but I?m busy and I?ve got four kids.?

[From WSJ & Yahoo UK]

The ?many? relationships with women thing is from her Variety interview, where she was asked if she had relationships with women and she said, ?Yes. Many times.? She later offered a clarification that she had never had sexual relations with any woman but that it didn?t matter anyway because who gives a f?k? I can see how she might have said ?yes, many times? with an eyeroll and didn?t really care that much if people thought she was bisexual.

This is the only part I really took issue with: ?I think there?s a swath of great roles for women?? Nope. That?s only the case if your name is Meryl Streep or Cate Blanchett or Jennifer Lawrence. Most actresses are fighting over the girlfriend role in the latest grunting-action movie.

Cate Blanchett in Esteban Cortazar & Givenchy at LFF: tragic or amazing?

Cate Blanchett in Esteban Cortazar & Givenchy at LFF: tragic or amazing?
It really has been a spectacular few weeks of non-stop fashion p0rn from Cate Blanchett. It?s sort of crazy ? even when I?m not totally in love with what she?s wearing, I appreciate that she?s still making some bold style choices. These photos are from Cate?s appearance at the BFI London Film Festival. Cate and Rooney Mara were there to promote Carol. For the big premiere, Cate wore this Esteban Cortazar gown in navy and white. It sparkles, it?s DRAMA, it?s fun and it actually looks nice on her. Meanwhile, Rooney wore this utterly cloying and twee Alexander McQueen gown to the premiere. Pink/nude ruffles = the worst.

Also pretty bad? Cate?s photocall look earlier in the day ? she wore an ensemble by Givenchy and that cheap satin and lace jumpsuit is absolutely horrid. WTF?

Before she left for London, Cate was doing the media rounds in New York, which included a stop by Watch What Happens Live (only I don?t think Cate?s interview was done live). Andy Cohen had Cate and Julie Andrews on his couch, which is pretty amazing. He also made Cate play Plead the Fifth, and one of the questions was ?Marry F?k Kill, Viggo Mortensen, Elijah Wood and Orlando Bloom.? Cate chose to f?k Viggo, marry Elijah and kill Orlando. Bless her. She was also asked who she was most annoyed with after losing an Oscar to them. As in, she?s lost Oscars to Tilda Swinton, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Hudson and Marion Cotillard. After she heard the list out loud, she happily declared: ?I hate them all!”
