    Nice to see Blanchett win for “I’M NOT THERE,” but he was just as deserving for his work in the ELIZABETH sequel.

    oh come on already – Blanchett is not a man, nor does she resemble one. Really people, grow up a little. She’s actually pretty.

    People need to lay off Blanchett and simply respect his talent.

    Most men find strong women to be very intimidating. This is usually the reason for the gender attacks.

    Strange thing though – by assigning the “manly” gender to Cate they are, in fact, showing their own deficiencies!

    “Manly” gender? Don’t let Blanchett hear you say that — HE’LL kick your butt!

    Are you called “Toothpick” for a reason???? Or has the womanly Cate kicked you where it counts?
