Cate Blanchett slams red carpet questions for actresses
CATE Blanchett is not happy with the red carpet treatment actresses get at awards shows — and please don’t ask her to show her underwear.
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.”
