Why does Cate Blanchett anymore be called an actress
"I think good performance is good performance, regardless of the sexual orientation of who does it."
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.
"I think a good performance is a good performance, regardless of the sexual orientation of who does it," Blanchett said.
Blanchett was discussing the use of the word actor compared to the actress with respect to the recent decision of the Berlin International Film Festival.Eliminate sexospecific prices. Their rewards for the best actor and the best actress will be condensed in the best principal performance - and the best support actor and supporting supporting supports will become the best support performance, without any separation of the genre, deadline reported at the end of August.
With regard to their decision, the directors of the Berlin International Film Festival,Mariette Rissenbeek andCarlo Chatrien, says in a statement. "We believe that do not separate rewards in the actor domain by sex with a signal for aMore sensitive to genre in the cinematographic industry. "
"You know that life is too short for that"Tilda SwintonAdded to the Venice Film Festival in support of the decision, according toThe Guardian. "In every way, you know, dividing people and prescribing a way for them,That we were talking about the kind, or if we talk about race or class - it's just such a waste of life. "
