Oscar nominee Cate Blanchett on mum guilt and 'saying no' to projects Oscars2023
She’s tipped to become the fifth actress in history to win three or more Oscars at tonight’s ceremony, but for Cate Blanchett, her Hollywood career has come at a cost.
“It’s not occasional – it’s continual,” she says as she contemplates her feelings about an early retirement. “On a daily or weekly basis, for sure. I just said no to a couple of things. I think it’s time to be quiet.” The star currently divides her life between Los Angeles, where she mostly works, Australia, and rural Sussex, where she lives in a seven-bedroom country pile with her family. Like many parents, she went to great lengths to homeschool her brood during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Self-deprecation aside, Cate is more in demand than ever. She is also favourite to win the Best Actress gong at the Academy Awards, where she is up against Ana de Armas, Andrea Riseborough, Michelle Williams and Michelle Yeoh.
