To read alsoCate Blanchett: “50 years old is an age where we question ourselves, especially women: what have we accomplished?

How much time is left ?"

An “arbitrary” trophy

The actress particularly deplored that women are put in competition, against each other, during this kind of awards ceremony.

"This Best Actress trophy is extremely arbitrary in light of all the extraordinary performances by other women, not just those in this room," she began.

I can't believe I'm on stage."

Before adding: “It's ridiculous… I would like us to change this fucking structure.

All of this is a result of a patriarchal pyramid, which wants someone to stand here, above.”

Cate Blanchett also pointed out that there was a "string" of female performances that co-existed and echoed each other.

A "horse race"

“And stop making it a televised horse race, she hammered.

Because I can tell you that all the women in TV, in movies, in advertising, even in tampon commercials – whatever – inspire me perpetually.”

And the actress to conclude: “So thank you.

I share this award with all of you.”

Not certain, however, that the prayer of Cate Blanchett, approached for the Oscar for best actress and winner of a Golden Globe for her role as an ambiguous conductor, will be heard immediately.
