Cate's Kath role has Oscar smiling 17:45 AEDT Wed Dec 1 2004 After years of snubs and near misses, screen goddess Katharine Hepburn may finally help Cate Blanchett win that elusive Oscar. Hollywood this week is buzzing about Blanchett's portrayal of Hepburn in the Martin Scorsese directed The Aviator, a film about eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes. It's the type of industry talk that can push the chameleon Australian actress all the way to the podium and a best supporting Oscar at February's 77th Academy Awards ceremony. With Nicole Kidman's performance in Birth losing steam and Naomi Watts' best Oscar chance to be released in the US in late December, Blanchett emerged as Australia's top shot to claim an Academy Award. "The industry is buzzing about Cate's portrayal of Kate," Tom O'Neil, one of America's top Oscar experts, told AAP. "She certainly has the momentum and buzz now. I would say she is the frontrunner for best supporting actress, but whether or not she can maintain that is something else of course." The past week many of the Academy's 6,000 voters and the 90 Golden Globes voters watched special screenings of The Aviator. Hepburn was one of many beautiful starlets Hughes romanced and early reports say Blanchett pulled off the feisty redhead and four time Oscar winner in the film. O'Neil said he had spoken to numerous Academy and Golden Globes members about Blanchett's performance. "Everybody knew from the industry buzz that Leo was wonderful in this movie but the great surprise when you see it is just how great Cate is," O'Neil, whose website www.goldderby.com is considered one of the best Oscar trackers, said. "That's what people talk about as they leave the theatre." （原文經刪減） 「神鬼玩家」經過幾場試映之後，普遍開出好評 李奧與凱特的演出都獲得肯定 這個goldderby網站的站長Tom O'Neil對凱特的演出更是大加讚賞！ 他說： Cate Blanchett, too, who is now the frontrunner, methinks.
