  1. Behind the award

    Blanchett earned her first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2005 for her portrayal of Katharine Hepburn in Martin Scorsese's The Aviator. She became the first actor to take home an Oscar for playing another Oscar-winning actor.

  2. Behind the award

    At the 80th Academy Awards, Blanchett was nominated twice, for Best Actress in Elizabeth: the Golden Age and Best Supporting Actress in I'm Not There. She became the first actress nominated a second time for reprising a role.

  3. Getting ready for a role

    At Scorsese's request, Blanchett studied Hepburn's first fifteen screen performances on 35-millimeter prints while preparing for the role, memorizing her poise, mannerisms and speech pattern.

  4. A role that slipped away

    In 1997, Blanchett took her first leading part, playing eccentric heiress Lucinda Leplastrier in Gillian Armstrong's romantic drama Oscar and Lucinda. The role had been meant for Judy Davis.

  5. Behind the award

    In 1993, Blanchett took the Sydney Theatre Critics' Best Newcomer Award for Timothy Daly's Kafka Dances and Best Actress for Mamet's Oleanna. No other actor had ever claimed both prizes in a single year.
