Cate Blanchett

Let's face it, we're jealous. We wish Cate was British don't we? So much so that we're prepared to let her play Queen Elizabeth and any number of English parts. When Zellweger does an English accent we marvel at how good it is. When Cate Blanchett does one, we just pretend she's not Australian and hope she'll eventually forget too. Has Cate Blanchett ever played a baddie? No, cos if she did she'd be Tilda Swinton, who just isn't in the same league of lovliness.

Even when she got all cross and evil as the Elf queen, mouthing about how 'terrible' she'd be if she had the ring, she made power-crazed sadistic evil sound rather inviting. Yes good idea, let's not bother with two films of Frodo making progressively silly faces, let's just let you have the ring,and we can gaze at you whilst you have your reign of terror.
