Cate Blanchett Won two Oscars in his career: one for a better performance of an actress in a leading role forJasmine blueand another for the best performance by an actress in a supportive role forThe aviator. But if it was to her, she would compete in a neutral category for the best overall performance. "Not like a political statement, but I still havecalled myself as an actor"Blanchett said at a press conference for the Venice Film Festival on Wednesday.

"I do not think we have a very specific language and I'm from the generation where the wordactress has been used almost always in a pejorative sense, "Blanchett said, according to CNN." So, I think I claim the other space. "

To prove his point, according to AFP,Blanchett asked journalists If there is an equivalent of the Italian word "maestro" for women. They told him that there was not one.
