Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett says award shows shouldn't be televised to protect celebrities' privacy
Cate Blanchett is getting real about why award shows should no longer be televised.
During a recent appearance on the "Las Culturistas With Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang" podcast, the 55-year-old actress discussed what it was like moving through the world as a public person, noting that with the invention of smartphones, there are "so few spaces that you can go now, where you are private" without worrying if someone is recording.
"That's what I loved about the late '80s [was] going to all of the dance parties in Sydney for Mardi Gras. People were just there," she explained. "They were so present, you know, they were just together, collectively, having a great time. It was non-aggressive. No one was being recorded. No one cared what anyone did."
Hosts Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers agreed with Blanchett, with Yang bringing up the current trend on TikTok where lip readers will post videos claiming to know what celebrities are saying to each other at award shows.
Blanchett and the hosts agreed the new trend feels "treacherous," pointing out that certain celebrities have begun to cover their mouths when speaking on the carpet to avoid potentially being the subject of one of those videos.
"I mean, I say, I know it's blasphemy, go back to the day when it wasn't televised," Blanchett said. "Bring that back and just have a great party where people can just let go. I mean the industry is so scattered and at such a point…which I think potentially could be exciting or could really be depressing, but it's at a pivot point, and so we need to gather together and celebrate what it is that we do, without it having to have any public-facing."
"I mean, the fashion is great, and all of that stuff. We'll find out in the end who won or who didn't win. But it would be so nice that that happened behind closed doors. [It would be] absolutely a very different evening."
The very first Academy Awards took place in May 1929, but it was not televised until the 25th ceremony in 1953. Since then, audiences worldwide have tuned in to see which of their favorite stars takes home the night's biggest awards.
Blanchett has won two Oscars herself, one for her supporting role in "The Aviator" in 2005, playing Katharine Hepburn, and another for her leading role in "Blue Jasmine" in 2014. She has also received six additional nominations in both the supporting and lead categories.
"I mean, the fashion is great, and all of that stuff. We'll find out in the end who won or who didn't win," she added. "But it would be so nice that that happened behind closed doors. [It would be] absolutely a very different evening."
The actress later clarified she is all for still having award shows, noting "it's so great that people's work is celebrated and in that way," but that the current system can often lead people to "get sick of" some of the films nominated that year.
"This is the thing, all of these films are amazing, and so many amazing films and performances and all of the craft awards and the cinematography," she explained. "You want to celebrate them, but you can get sick of those films because they all get whittled down, as they must. I don't want to get sick of any of those films because they're brilliant."
This is not the first time Blanchett has spoken out about her issues with awards shows. When she won the Critics' Choice Award for best actress in a drama for her lead role in "Tar" in 2023, she used part of her acceptance speech to call the system a "patriarchal pyramid where someone stands up" in front of a room full of their peers.
She then referred to the whole affair as "a televised horse race," and suggested they instead acknowledge that "there's a whole raft of female performances that are in concert and in dialogue with one another."
"Because can I tell you, every single woman – whether it's television, film, advertising, tampon commercials, whatever – you're all out there doing amazing work that is inspiring me continually," she said.

Katy Perry Expertly Braves Fan Intrusion in Lifetimes Tour Video
A fan crashed Katy Perry's Lifetimes Tour concert in Sydney, and she handled the intrusion with utmost grace and her signature humor. On Monday night, the pop sensation took over the Qudos Bank Arena in the city, taking fans on a cosmic journey. However, a frenzied admirer couldn't contain their excitement and stormed the stage while she performed one of her all-time hits. With the most awkward expression on her face, Perry braved the intrusion and continued performing despite the momentary chaos. Katy Perry's fans can't seem to get enough of her, with one in particular who interrupted her Lifetimes Tour Sydney concert. The audience witnessed a sudden commotion on Monday night after a fan crashed the singer's concert at the Qudos Bank Arena. She was right in the thick of her second of the three sold-out shows of her tour's Australian leg when the admirer crashed the show. A viral video captured the moment when the individual stormed the stage while Perry performed her timeless hit, 'Hot N Cold.' The intrusion completely took her by surprise, but she expertly handled the situation with a classic response. The clip showed the fan putting their arm around her, catching her off guard amid her performance. But the award-winning musician rolled away and distanced herself from the man while the security hurried to intervene. Needless to say, Perry didn't fumble after the fan crashed her concert, turning it into a memorable moment for her audience. The footage further showed her addressing the crowd, saying there would never be 'another show like it, so just enjoy it, Sydney.' Meanwhile, a few security personnel escorted the intruder off the stage despite his resistance. The video concluded with her shouting into the microphone, 'What the hell is going on?' The Sydney Morning Herald has since shared a fresh update on the fan, whom authorities identified as Johnson Wen, a 'serial prankster.' Wen, who goes by the username Pyjama Man on TikTok, is a regular mischief-maker infamous for causing public disturbances and storming concert stages. The New South Wales police confirmed arresting the man and charging him with entering enclosed land and obstructing a person in the performance of work or duties. Originally reported by Nikita Mahato on Reality Tea. The post Katy Perry Expertly Braves Fan Intrusion in Lifetimes Tour Video appeared first on Mandatory.
