The 1999 Academy Awards - a year that Shakespeare in Love swept the Oscars and annoyingly snubbed better films (like Saving Private Ryan) and better actresses (no offense Gwyneth).Elizabeth tells the story of Queen Elizabeth I during her assention to the throne and early reign over a religiously divided England. Dulls-ville it is not as we watch young, love-sick Elizabeth come of age and subsequently become the most powerful ruler in the world; dubbing herself The Virgin Queen.
It’s only win despite six other nominations? Best Makeup.
This is the film that put Cate Blanchett on the map, one that solidified her as one of the most interesting, chameleon-like actresses of present day. (And, let’s not forget, the dress she wore that year was one of the most stunning and beautifully unique outfits to ever make its way down the red carpet.)
