Cate Blanchett is one of the greatest actresses the world has produced. She is a bit of an old school sage as well. Notice how she feels about the modern-day pervasiveness of recording devices at award functions: `There`s so few spaces that you can go now where you are private. That`s what I loved about the late `80s, going to all of the dance parties in Sydney for Mardi Gras. People were just there. They were so present, they were just together, collectively, having a great time. It was non-aggressive. No one was being recorded. Go back to the day when it wasn`t televised. Bring that back and just have a great party where people can just let go.` Cate B, we`re afraid, you can`t turn back the clock but we hear you.
