Oscar Nominee: Elizabeth: The Golden Age for Costumes
In the days leading up until the Oscars, I'll be featuring the nominees in the various visual categories. This week, I'll be looking at the nominees for Best Costume Design. We've already taken a look at the costumes in Across the Universe, Atonement, La Vie en Rose, and Sweeney Todd.
What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday
All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue. In addition to the titles below you can view Cate Blanchett's award-nominated performance in Elizabeth: The Golden Age and The Jane Austen Book Club, which I featured as one of my February Must Haves.
Cate Defends Herself in Elizabeth's Spirit
Cate Blanchett's dress wasn't doing much to squash those pregnancy rumors, joined by costars Geoffrey Rush and Abbie Cornish at a photocall for Elizabeth: The Golden Age in Australia today. She and her husband are set to take on the roles of artistic directors for the Sydney Theater Company in January, but are receiving backlash for not being properly qualified. When asked how Queen Elizabeth would have handled the situation, Cate said,
"She was a great patron of the arts...
It's the Golden Age of Elizabeth Premieres
Cate Blanchett continued her world tour of Elizabeth: The Golden Age with a screening at the London Film Festival last night. Once again, Clive Owen was missing, but in his spot was a different British co-star, a Sienna-less Rhys Ifans, as well as Heather Graham. Cate has openly discussed her initial hesitation to reprise the role of Elizabeth, but it became hard to say no once she knew who else was involved.
Cate Brings Elizabeth to Rome
Cate Blanchett took Elizabeth: The Golden Age abroad Friday for the Rome Film Festival. First stop for Cate was a photocall for the film where she glowed in blue and gold. Cate then took her look up a notch to walk the red carpet in a dress that made her standout but not necessarily in a good way.
Elizabeth: Sloppy But Beautiful
Cate Blanchett, in some of the most sumptuous costumes and outrageous hairpieces, can do her best to growl and roar through this follow-up to the 1998 soapy historical piece Elizabeth, but unfortunately she can't save the faulty script and sloppy pacing that is The Golden Age. This is a shame because the more Blanchett and her equally amazing costars (Clive Owen, Geoffry Rush, Abbie Cornish) plunge into this material with all they've got, trying to compensate for the film's many flaws, the more the movie veers into camp. Thus, the mediocrity of this Elizabeth sequel is not Elizabeth's fault.
Cate Re-Visits Elizabeth
Cate Blanchett headed to NYC for a screening of Elizabeth: The Golden Age, and this time she went for a basic black dress unlike the bright blue one. A bunch of big names from the fashion industry like Michael Kors and Zac Posen came to check out the film and its extravagant costumes. The movie is a sequel to Elizabeth, and Cate recently talked about what it was like to get back into character almost 10 years later.
Cate Blanchett Is So Beautiful It Hurts To Look At Her. Okay, Maybe It's The Dress
Cate Blanchett was a vision in blue (for real, kinda hurts my eyes) at last night's LA premiere of Elizabeth: The Golden Age. The dress is a bit, shall we say, drapey, but there is something fabulous about the color and the fact that Cate Blanchett can proudly leave the house knowing she's the only woman in the world who would look gorgeous in that dress. To be fair, she could literally wear anything on the red carpet and look stunning — apparently even an electric blue potato sack.
