Lily Gladstone got Upset when Cate Blanchett didn’t win: Lily Gladstone is an American actress popularly known for her appearance in films like First Cow, The Unknown Country, Certain Women, and the recently released Oscar-nominated film Killers of the Flower Moon. The actress has always been vocal about being a fangirl of Cate Blanchett. Recently, She toldย People magazine that she was disheartened when Blanchett didnโt win the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role as Elizabeth I in the 1998 biographical period drama.ย
Gladstone said, โIโve idolized Cate Blanchett since I was a teenager. When โฆ she was up for Elizabeth at the Oscars and didnโt win, I remember just being really, really upset about that. Sheโs my ultimate actress. I think sheโs the great talent of this generation.โ
That year, at the 71st Academy Awards, Blanchett was nominated alongside Fernanda Montenegro, Meryl Streep, Emily Watson, and Gwyneth Paltrow. Among all the nominees, Paltrow took home the Oscar trophy. This isn’t the first time Gladstone opened up about her admiration for Blanchett. Previously, during The Hollywood Reporterโs actress roundtable, Gladstone shared how much she looked up to Blanchett. She said, โPhilip Seymour Hoffman and Cate Blanchett. If I can diffuse the two of them into one, those are my two perfect actors. Childhood inspirations: I wanted to be an Ewok, and thatโs what started all this madness.โ
Lily Gladstone received advice from Cate Blanchett
Recounting her in-person interaction with Blanchett, Gladstone told People that Blanchett has been โso kindโ whenever theyโve run into each other during the busy award season. She even shared that she got lucky enough to get a piece of advice from her ladylove in the industry. Gladstone said, โHer big tip was to keep up on your adaptogenic mushrooms through this whole period, which is great advice. That is a very quick, easy, self-care ritual that I can adapt, coming from one of the most brilliant actors alive.โ
Although Gladstone’s inspiration, Blanchett, missed out on an Oscar, Gladstone still has a chance to win the Academy trophy.ย She is nominated for her first Oscar this year for her performance as Mollie Burkhart in the Martin Scorsese-directed film Killers of the Flower Moon alongside Annette Bening, Sandra Hรผller, Carey Mulligan, and Emma Stone.ย
