1. I'm Not There.
2. Elizabeth
3. Tár
4. Blue Jasmine
5. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
6. Bandits
7. Nightmare Alley
8. Hanna
9. The Lord of the Rings (counting all three as one)
10. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
I consider her one of the living greats, but I find half of her nominated work to range from middling to downright awful.

Hmm, this made me realise I need to watch more of her work, which is strange considering she's probably my 3rd favourite actress of all time.
1) Blue Jasmine
2) I'm Not There
3) Carol
4) The Aviator
5) Hanna

1. Blue Jasmine
2. The Man Who Cried
3. The Gift
4. Heaven
5. Notes on a Scandal
She was bad from 2003-2012. Tilda Swinton upped her during those 10 years but if you account for all the other years it's more equal between the 2. But those 10 years cant be ignored.
Havent seen Tar. Those top 3 are the only ones I would say i liked to a high degree.

Yes, I'm funny that way Tyler - I sometimes pick the better performance.......... over 2 of her other great performances! * I have said this a lot - that Notes contains one of my favorite female acted scenes - EVER - the other 2 are also great, but........and you could easily miss the scene entirely - she doesn't cry or yell or take a dump in a bucket or anything like we like our Oscar winning actresses to do (um) A little blast from a past pacinoyes review from 2020 when I was younger, more innocent, and a little more naive .......

Not my vote, but shout-out to her underrated performance in Notes on a Scandal! For me, she outperforms Dench in how she is so human and so villainous at once.

Yes..........absolutely.......
There's a scene in that film I've often talked about - it's the scene where Blanchett listens to Siouxsie with her young "friend" one - that is so tremendously acted it almost literally takes your breath away and breaks your heart at the same time:
She's excited at the prospect of rediscovering herself through the "child" who is there with her - but it's a "herself" and a freedom that can never exist now since she herself has a child - time or at least THAT time has left her behind.
It's a very complex scene - it's written on the page to a degree but a lesser actress wouldn't dig out how to get the most of that scene and text like she does......... the double-edged sword of how to play it - tremendous sadness and hope, regret and emptiness ......it's an all-time favorite actress scene of mine. |

2. The Aviator
3. Elizabeth
4. Talented Mr. Ripley
5. Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Strong HM to Nightmare Alley
And I'll just say it, I found both Carol and Blue Jasmine pretty middling, not really bad, just not blown away. Seems a couple other people agree despite many others having them at the top.

Veronica Guerin I still feel pretty much the same as this, Nightmare Alley and Don't Look Up would probably be in the high (meaning the low) teens, the latter higher than the former, Pinocchio might climb just into the top 10 for the lolz, Tar would in that 2-7 range of ones I really like, and Mrs. America would be sat right the fuck on top. |

I've never said I hated the performance itself, but the script just does her absolutely no favours, and I can see the foundation of a truly masterful performance here, but Blanchett's not really allowed to build upon it. Still, I cannot deny the technical proficiency on display, but it's also not on the level of her top two for me. |
