Cate Blanchett was robbed!

Rating: 10/10 (4 August 2000)

In an incredible performance, Cate Blanchett presents Queen Elizabeth to us as her supporting cast also performs brilliantly. I cannot believe this movie was so overlooked at the Oscars for the big-money movie "Shakespeare in Love," which incidentally, I also liked, but I don't think it compares to this epic. I am not usually a big fan of historical epics, but this was such a compelling story I absolutely ADORED it.
