Let's get the obvious out of the way, Cate Blanchett was robbed, at gunpoint, by Harvey Weinstein and his band of Hollywood thugs who manage to bully and purchase enough votes to get the talentless, drooling, grueling, horrifically bad actress Gwyneth Paltrow the Academy award over Cate Blanchett.
Cate Blanchett should have won a best actress Oscar for her performance in Elizabeth. Quickly paced, deftly directed and entertaining. Some terrific performances by a well-rounded talented cast, capped off by the incredible performance by Cate Blanchett. One of her many stellar acting performances. Certainly the script takes great liberties and makes sweeping generalizations out of the historical events, and often reshuffles them to fit the script, but for the most part it works.
I would highly recommend this movie, it's in my library of go to classics.
