Oscar nominations 2008 – Best Actress Profiles
Profiles of the stars nominated for the best actress award at the 80th Academy Awards, to be held at the Kodak Theatre, Los Angeles on 24 February.
CATE BLANCHETT
Age: 38
Nominated for: Elizabeth: The Golden Age
The character: Blanchett reprises her role as the 16th century English monarch, which saw her gain an Oscar nomination in 1999.
Previous Oscar wins: One (best supporting actress for The Aviator in 2005)
Previous Oscar nominations: Two
She said: “For me, on a small, prosaic, domestic level this was a woman confronting the ageing process but also confronting her past.”
The critics said: “Cate Blanchett can do anything, even play Bob Dylan, but she can’t save this creaky sequel to her star-making 1998 biopic of Elizabeth I.” (Rolling Stone)
Best frock: The yellow Valentino couture gown with burgundy sash in which she collected her Oscar in 2005.

After becoming a rival to the English throne of Elizabeth I, Mary was imprisoned for decades at the Queen’s behest on charges of plotting to murder the Protestant monarch, and was finally beheaded in 1587.
It’s a heck of a role for any actress – Samantha Morton played the role alongside Cate Blanchett in the recent Elizabeth: The Golden Age – but this one promises to hew much closer to Mary’s side of the story. Continue Reading…
