Queen Elizabeth I - Elizabeth
Blanchett is very certainly the first actress to be nominated for two Oscars for the same role played a decade apart. We understand Queen Elizabeth is royalty, but god damn!

Jude - I'm Not There
Blanchett grabbed the evening as Jude, a male depiction of Bob Dylan in the imaginative biopic I'm Not There, in what was maybe her best performance to date. Blanchett nailed the mannerisms, voice tone, twitchy body language, and general spirit of the hall-of-fame troubadour.

Jasmine - Blue Jasmine
Woody Allen has long been regarded as one of the finest female character writers. Blanchett takes on a three-dimensional character in Blue Jasmine, pouring her heart and her into the titular role. It's a show-stopping tour de force!
