Cate Blanchett is the definition of the words CLASS and BEAUTY.

[CristianNicolae]

This is the definition of class. One of the classiest speeches in the history of the Academy. She reminds us of some of the most respected women the industry had when there were Audrey Hepburn or Ingrid Bergman.

One of the best Oscar speeches in the modern age of Hollywood. Her diction, her presence, and her beauty are the definition of a great actress.

[cesarcamacho]

Her acting in Blue Jasmine is outstanding and she definetely deserved that Oscar.

[frejaibsen]

I'm so sad she didn't win for best actress in Carol, because that perfomance blew my mind...

[gpeddino]

Sally Hawkins' reaction is so adorable when Cate acknowledges her.

[CoachingHigherGlobal]

Cate Blanchett is the definition of class and grace.
She spent more than half of her speech acknowledging other people while most winners don't even mention other nominees.
She's the best actress on the planet after Meryl Streep and I'm sure she'll win a third one. Carol was breathtakingly beautiful.

"SIT DOWN YOU'RE TOO OLD TO BE STANDING" 😂😂😂

[Neuroneos]

That final scene where she's on a bench talking to herself going completely mad is one of the finest pieces of acting in film history.

[AmericanRoads]

Stunning person. And that gown, omg... heavenly...

[remcat]

What a great speech. She mentioned all the other nominees in great detail. And a shout out that films with women at the center DO want to be seen. Yes, especially if they have Cate Blanchett.

[missandieftw]

The most beautiful woman in the Universe.

[dianatorralbo]

If you have seen Blue Jasmine you know she deserved to be straight up winner, what a performance!

[pol]

Such a modest and powerful speech. She takes her winning stage to acknowledges other people rather than herself. Imagine, how they feel grateful for Cate honouring them at her Oscar winning moment.

[mgeek]

I don't usually notice this kind of stuff, but Cate's dress was just stunning. The detail. Whoa!


And I still believe that she should've won for "Elizabeth."

[rsena]

When a Hollywood legend is giving a speech, the Academy don´t play the music, Cate you also deserved an Academy award for Carol!!

From: Daniel Day-Lewis, The King
To: Cate Blanchett, The Queen.

[abelisperfect]

“As subjective as this award is” cate knows what’s up

[lifeinjapan]

Wow! She expressed everything in those couple of minutes without missing or leaving anyone out there. Fabulous speech!

[calzadote]

Like Joan Rivers said "Your can smell the 'old money' just by looking at her" She's like a classic Hollywood actress. She looks so fresh and her speech was so articulated. I love her movies, but specially Blue Jasmine, because for me she's a real person, a bag lady in San Francisco. Fabulous job Woody and Kate.
