I'd like to see Sally Hawkins get Best Supporting Actress Oscar too; she's incredible in it - SOO American for a Brit.

She certainly deserves to win, it's an astonishing performance, but I think Sandra Bullock will get it as part of a "Gravity" mini-sweep, with Clooney getting supporting actor, Alfonso Cuaron getting best director, and of course all the technical awards going... the Academy loves nothing as much SUCCESS, and a talky grown-up 2-hander (albeit a technically astonishing one) that's been a massive worldwide hit without being a comic-book movie is catnip to them...

I sat behind Cate Blanchett at the new Eternity Theatre in Sydney just last week. She is the most unaffected approachable mega star in Hollywood. With skin like porcelain.
## I also sat behind her at the premiere of I'm Not There a few years ago. She nattered to her husband all the way through it until her part of the film.
I wanted to tap her on the shoulder and tell her to shut up but I didn't.
Brilliant film-you must see it.

As predicted, all those superb films I saw over six weeks are nominated (except Le Weekend which won all kinds of prizes at the recent Indie Film Awards this week).
Cracking movies - Captain Phillips (Tom Hanks in the final ten minutes is superb - probable Best Actor Oscar), Philomena (Coogan should win Screenplay), Blue Jasmine (Cate will win Best Actress Oscar), Le Weekend, Gravity and, recently, Saving Mr Banks.
One after the other I watched terrific films and great performances. What a year for films.
And then, of course, there is The Pink Marble Egg.
