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 didnโ€™t win the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role as Elizabeth I in the 1998 biographical period drama.ย 

Gladstone said, โ€œIโ€™ve idolized Cate Blanchett since I was a teenager. When โ€ฆ she was up for Elizabeth at the Oscars and didnโ€™t win, I remember just being really, really upset about that. Sheโ€™s my ultimate actress. I think sheโ€™s 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 Reporterโ€˜s actress roundtable, Gladstone shared how much she looked up to Blanchett. She said, โ€œPhilip 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 thatโ€™s 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 โ€œso kindโ€ whenever theyโ€™ve run into each other during the busy award season.
