COMMENT(s) DU JOUR
Top Ten Cate Blanchett


Remember when George Clooney swore she was going to win an Oscar for The Good German?
-Joey 

Elizabeth Debicki in Gatsby reminded me of Cate in Ripley. That same haughty confidence, although Debicki galloped across the screen while Cate glided.

Curio: Happy Birthday Max von Sydow

Alexa here.  Max von Sydow turns 83 today, and I plan on celebrating by watching a recently-gifted Criterion copy of The Magician. His presence always makes me happy, in everything from heavy fare (Pelle The Conqueror) to silly (Needful Things is a guilty pleasure).  Even he couldn't save Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close for me, though.  Here are some fan creations I've spied that celebrate some highlights from his oeuvre.

The Magician by Petur Nagy and Miklos Foldi.As Frederick in Hannah and Her Sisters, drawn by Peter Mack.

These are beautiful!

It's time for an Honorary Oscar for him and for Jeanne Moreau.

Honorary Oscars for non-nominees Mia Farrow and Danny Glover.

In honor of Max—I'll pop in my copy of Dune (1984).

Max Von Sydow and Liv Ullmann.

Both Oscarless...such a Shame.
