This is a good year for fun Oscar history: Cate Blanchett is the first woman to be nominated for playing a man who isn'ta cross-dresser or transsexual. ...

She is a shoe-in, the most perfect performance this year, bar none.  Not only was the movie a visionary deal, she was beyond awesome.  Hell, even Bob was impressed, which is not easy to do.
