'Killers of the Flower Moon' star Lily Gladstone, who's a huge fan of Cate Blanchett, recen⛦tly told 'People' magazine that she was disappointed when her "ultimate actress" did not win the Academy Award for her role as Elizabeth I in Shekhar Kapur's 1998 biographical period drama, says The Hollywoo✅d Reporter.
"I have idolised Cate Blanchett since I was a teenager. When ... she was up for 'Elizabeth' at the Oscars and didn't w💫in, I remember just being really, really upset about that," this year's Best Actress Oscar nominee said to 'People'. "She is my ultimate actress. I think she is the great talent o🐷f this generation."
At the 71st Academy Awards, Blanchett was nominated alongside Fernanda Montenegro, Meryl Streep, Emily Watson and Gwyneth Paltrow, who ultimately won the Oscar for 'Sh🦂akespeare in Love', notes The Hollywood Reporter.
Gladstone, who is nominatedꦦ for her first Oscar for her performance as Mollie Burkhart in the Martin Scorsese-directed movie, previously expressed during The Hollywood Reporter's actress roundtable how much she looked up to Blanchett in the industry.
"Philip Seymour Hoffman and Cate Blanchett. If I can diffuse the two of them into one, those 🍸are my two perfect actors," the actress said at the time. "Childhood inspirations, I wanted to be an Ewok, and that's what started all this🥂 madness."
Gladstone told 'People' that Blanchett ha𒉰s been "so kind" whenever they have run into each other during the busy awards season, and revealed that she als🗹o gave her some advice at one point.
"Her big tip was to keep up on your adaptogenic mushrooms through this whole period, which is great advice," Gladstone said. "That is a very quick, easy, self-care ritual that I can adaᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚpt, coming from one of the most brilliant actors alive."
