Ms.Blanchett's performance in these two Elizabeth I movies are simply put, Superb. She should have won the Oscar, to be honest. Wonderful, Amazing, Excellent portrayal of the Great Virgin Queen. And accurate too, for Elizabeth Tudor had a short-temper, yet was a strong and merciful woman.

absolutely! she deserves the Oscar like Best Actress ..

She is the best!

@kalurank: I watched both "Shakespeare in Love" and "Elizabeth" and Gwyneth, tho' much more beautiful than Cate, didn't impress me (I can't remember anything of her role). Believe me, I'm a shallow person, usually I prefer the conventionally beautiful actress even if she wasnt as talented). In the first scenes of "Elizabeth" I thought "Why couldn't they pick someone more beautiful?" But damn, I got chills down my spine when I watched Cate playing the Queen. Her performance was breath-taking.

The woman is stunningly gorgeous

[gladdenopjfqk]

she is one of the best

[kalurank]

@heathey2 because gwyneth paltrow might get in her way (and imho this was acceptable because of gwyneth's superb performance in "shakespeare in love")

[heathey2]

Cate Blanchett was robbed of two oscars for her roles as Elizabeth. How can either of her performances not be automatic best actress wins.

damn, don't mess with Cate Blanchett
