In Reply to: Cate Blanchett... greatest actress today? Perhaps, but I get posted by tinear on November 20, 2006 at 04:41:58:
... need new glasses mate.
Blanchett to me has a way of filling the screen like Hepburn.
Kidman presumably got the parts as a condition of marrying Cruise.
The others you mentioned are good supporting but I cannot see any comparison to Blanchett who is in a very rarified class to me.![]()

Follow Ups:
all have carried movies, been the stars. Watts shared the screen with Sean Penn in 21 Grams and more than held her own without scenery chewing. She was quite spectacular in Mulholland Drive, as well.
Kidman needed Cruise to further her career? Hardly.
She showed in "The Others" that she has few peers. Yes, she blundered badly in "Cold Mountain" but what woman could be in an onscreen relationship, believably, with Jude Law.
I can understand a fascination with an actress removing all sense of proportion... I feel that way about Wynona Ride-her, though I'm the first to admit she's no Winslet or Blanchett.

you love her or you hate her.
I confess to not understanding the overly strong reactions to either...

Puzzling to me also. I like her in her good films. She seems to have made some good choices.
