Cate Blanchett

Rating: Null/10 (23 May 1999)

I thought Blanchett's performance out did the film. The actors were all truly amazing, but it is Cate Blanchett is the one who takes your breath away.
With that said, I am glad it did not get nominated for best director and best original screenplay, simply because they weren't exceptionally strong. This film makes my top ten of 98, but not my top five, and I probably wouldn't have nominated it for best picture.
Blanchett should have won best actress, and it's a shame she didn't.
