Cate, Posterized

We did this with Streisand last month and wasn't it a neat way to snapshot an entire career? For Cate Blanchett, currently "Maid Marion Loxley" in Robin Hood, this overview wasn't as simple. She works so frequently that it had to be narrowed down. This career overview is restricted to films wherein she has a leading role or practically dominates in a barely-not-leading supporting role.

The Wedding Party (1997) | Oscar and Lucinda (1997) | Elizabeth (1998)

An Ideal Husband (1999) | The Gift (2000) | Bandits (2001)

Charlotte Gray (2001) | Heaven (2002) | Veronica Guerin (2003)

The Missing (2003) | The Aviator (2004) | Little Fish (2005)

The Good German (2006) | Notes on a Scandal (2006) | I'm Not There (2007)

Elizabeth the Golden Age (2007) | Benjamin Button (2008) | Robin Hood (2010)

Questions for you
1. Didn't you immediately miss Lord of the Rings (2001-2003) and The Talented Mr Ripley (1999) while looking at those? Kinda makes you wonder if she was meant to glitter from the ensemble rather than go for the floating head star vehicle like a Veronica Guerin or a Charlotte Gray.

Cate: If only I weren't known as a Supporting Actress
Nathaniel: But y'are Blanche(tt), y'are.

2. How many of these 18 Big Blanchett movies have you seen?
3. Can you describe your feelings for her in 18 words or less? I never can given how much they fluctuate. Try it in the comments.
