CATE Blanchett is not happy with the red carpet treatment actresses get at awards shows.

At last year’s SAG Awards, she famously called out a cameraman who panned up and down her dress by bending down and asking: “Do you do that to the guys?”

And in a new interview, she’s attacked the “mani cams” and ridiculous questions female actors are made submit to.

“Since I’ve been struttin’ the red carpet, things have changed a lot,’ she told Harper’s Bazaar Australia.

“The way women are asked about those red-carpet moments. Oh my God. It’s just a dress!

“People forget the fact that women are up there [at the Academy Awards] because they’ve given extraordinary performances.

“It’s a wonderful excuse to dress up and have F.U.N. But let’s not forget the work.”

Talking about the “mani cams” — where celebs are made put their fingers on display for a camera to inspect their manicures — she said: “Next it will be, ‘What brand tampon are you wearing?’”

“How much more intimate can they get? ‘Show us your knickers’? There is a line.”
