discussion Does Cate Blanchett have a chance to end up with more Oscars than Meryl Streep?

[Kern]

Very often in the streets I can hear voices say 'Cate Blanchett still has a chance to end up with more oscars than Meryl Streep" but do you think that's true?

[Donquizote]

Yes, she hasn't slowed down booking those Oscar bait roles.

I think her 3rd and 4th will come sooner than later.

[5hfangurl]

She should have gotten her 3rd and 4th for Carol and Tàr. 

[Dark Miracles]

Should have won her 3rd already for Tár. The one time a woman gets to play a DDL-tier character, even outdid every DDL performance with it IMO and still didn't win.

[Draper.]

Both will end up with 4.

Blue Jasmine was basically her There Will Be Blood already. 

[GAGAxMONSTER]

Yes. They used to gate keep this but not anymore. I mean even Ms McDormand has a better Oscar win resume than Meryl.

[fridayteenage]

no

 

i see there are people still pressed at Asian Excellence having the best win of the century in this thread 

[SoldierofLove]

Yes. She will be the go to actor for older white lady roles after Meryl retires. 

[Green]

She will tie her at least

 

She had bad luck with TAR which was the same year of Michelle and it would have won any other year this decade

[Green]

Frances McDormand could also end with more Oscars (she has 3 lead Oscars, only Katharine Hepburn has more)

[Liafen]

Yes, methinks. Not winning for Tár (and Carol) will help with the general sentiment of awarding her the third. Another baity performance in her 60s should push her to fourth.

She already has more Oscars  

[Feanor]

If she had won with TÁR, then I would've said yes.

 

Now I think she'll "only" end up with 3 acting Oscars, while Meryl will be the one the Academy will deem worthy of tying Hepburn's record (although even that isn't guaranteed).

[P.O.P]

She is Australian, they won't let it happen 

[ICLDXU4HS]

When she ends up winning her fourth playing Fadryl. 

[harwee]

Very possible.

 

She's literally in 4 upcoming high profile films releasing in the next 2 years. She's a prolific shape shifter.
