The end of February 2016 marked a long-awaited and exciting event: the annual Oscar-winning film awards ceremony. At the appointed time, the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles opened its doors to previously announced nominees and numerous invited guests of this magnificent celebration. Among the most anticipated contenders for the Oscar in 2016 was a talented Australian actress and incredible beauty Cate Blanchett. Among other nominees, her candidacy was nominated in the category "Best Actress" for her role in the film "Carol".
About the film
Retromelodrama "Carol" directed by Todd Haynes, released in 2015, tells of an eternal and elusive value - about love. The plot is based on the lesbian love of two dissimilar women from different social strata. Their acquaintance in the toy store became a banal accident, which was destined to grow into the birth of an uncontrollable and all-consuming feeling. By the way, the sex of lovers plays only a secondary role in this beautiful story. This direction of the outset was rather in the hands of the director, since melodrama as a genre has long been not taken seriously by connoisseurs of cinema art.
Such an amazing opportunity Todd Haynes was provided by the well-known writer Patricia Highsmith in the middle of the last century. After successfully published detective stories, she suddenly decided to turn to melodrama and unexpectedly for all she wrote a novel called "The price of salt." The theme of homosexuality, outlined in the work, seemed at that time to be an oddity. Then it was decided to publish the novel under the name of a fictional author. The book was a great success and sold a million copies. Later the novel was reissued and published under the name of the author, and the title was replaced by a laconic "Carol" - the name of one of the main characters, which was played by Cate Blanchett.
This year the self-titled film "Carol" Todd Haynes was presented in a number of key nominations, but was defeated in the Oscar race. In the category of "best actress" Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett went around young Bree Larson , who took the award for her role in the movie "Room".
Despite the fact that the film "Carol" was not awarded prizes, it should be noted his positive assessment received from film critics. The creators of the painting immerse the viewer in the re-created era of the 50s of the last century, where the panorama unfolds the story of the life and love of two women, at the same time others and the same as us. It is noteworthy that all scenes of the film are shot as if by chance, giving the observer the opportunity to see episodes from the personal life of the main characters in the keyhole hole, behind the glass cafe or from the shoulder of one of the women. This detective message brings some intrigue into the picture and makes you feel like an occasional witness of real events from the life of real people.

Beauty Cate Blanchett, a 46-year-old actress with an amazing elven appearance, appeared at the Oscar ceremony in 2016 in a fabulously tender mint-colored dress embroidered with flowers.
