Lily Gladstone shares her disappointment when Cate Blanchett didn’t win an Oscar

Los Angeles, March 10 (IANS) – Lily Gladstone, star of ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’, recently expressed her admiration for Cate Blanchett in an interview with ‘People’ magazine, noting her disappointment when Blanchett lost the Academy Award for her role in ‘Elizabeth’. Gladstone, who is nominated for her first Oscar, described Blanchett as her “ultimate actress” and praised her as the great talent of this generation.

Gladstone recalled being upset when Blanchett was nominated for ‘Elizabeth’ at the 71st Academy Awards but did not win, with Gwyneth Paltrow ultimately taking home the Oscar for ‘Shakespeare in Love’. Despite the loss, Gladstone considers Blanchett as one of her idols in the industry and has looked up to her throughout her career.

During The Hollywood Reporter’s actress roundtable, Gladstone shared her admiration for both Philip Seymour Hoffman and Cate Blanchett, describing them as her “two perfect actors”. She also revealed that Blanchett has been supportive and kind to her during the busy awards season, offering advice on self-care practices like adaptogenic mushrooms.

Blanchett’s advice to Gladstone resonated with the actress, who described it as a valuable self-care ritual. As she navigates her first Oscar nomination for her role in ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’, Gladstone appreciates the support and wisdom shared by Blanchett, whom she considers one of the most brilliant actors alive.
