Cate Blanchett is Nervous?

Oscar nominated actress Cate Blanchett is nervous?

Cate Blanchett has "butterflies" in her stomach on the day of the Oscars.

The actress is up for her sixth Academy Award this year, after being nominated for Best Actress for her role in Blue Jasmine, and she acknowledges she will be particularly nervous on the day.

Cate - who previously won Best Supporting Actress for her role in 2004's 'The Aviator' - said: "A lot of effort goes into effortlessness of walking up that marathon red carpet. I wake up with butterflies in my stomach. You never know the outcome. It has been an extraordinary year in films, so to be at the banquet is a privilege." Cate, 44, also admits if she was like her character in 'Blue Jasmine' - who loses her fortune and has to adapt to a normal life - she wouldn't have the same difficulties as those around her keep her grounded.

She told OK! magazine: "Fortunately I have the most extraordinarily supportive family and friends, and my identity is not based on either my work or any of this."

Hollywood Actress Catherine Zeta Jones Mini Biography And Photo Gallery



Early days: Zeta Jones started her career on the stage, performing for parents and in the neighbourhood theatre.

Caught in pyjamas: She was first discovered for something more than neighbourhood theatre at the age of 14 when she was spotted by Mickey Dolenz in her audition for The Pyjama Game.

Stepping stones: As custom would have it, she moved on from theatre to TV, where she acted in the hit TV series The Darling Buds of May, and also in an episode of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.

On to movies: Zeta Jones' first stint with the movies was in 1993, when she played Kitty in the comedy film, Splitting Heirs.

Getting noticed: As people started looking beyond her 'exotic Welsh looks', she started getting more acting oriented roles, the first among which was her role as Sala in the action film, The Phantom



Eye of the tiger: Ace-director Steven Speilberg noticed Zeta Jones in the mini-series Titanic (1996) and recommended her to friend Martin Campbell for his upcoming film The Mask of Zorro.

Zeroed in on Zorro: Catherine played the role of Elena in one of the biggest films of her career that time, The Mask of Zorro. Her co-stars were Sir Anthony Hopkins and Antonio Banderas, playing the successive Zorros.

Terrific trap: Zeta Jones then went on to star opposite the legendary Sean Connery in Entrapment in the year 1999.

It's a golden globe: The year 2000 saw Zeta Jones in the critically acclaimed Traffic, where she played Helena Ayala. She got her first Golden Globe nomination (Best Actress in a Supporting Role) for this film.

The Douglas connection: That was not the only reason why Traffic was special. More important than the award nomination was the meeting between Catherine and her future husband, Michael Douglas, that took place on the sets of this film.



More of Michael: Zeta Jones married actor Michael Douglas in November 2000, shortly after their son Dylan (named after Dylan Thomas) was born.

Oscar and all that jazz: All of Catherine's hard work paid up in 2002, when she received an Academy Award (Best Supporting Actress) for her legendary portrayal of Velma Kelly in the film Chicago. Not only her acting, but also the seemingly effortless dancing got her accolades from every department.

A charismatic child: Zeta Jones and Douglas had a daughter in 2003, who they names Carys Zeta Douglas.

Star of the sequel: In 2004, Zeta Jones acted in the multi-starrer Ocean's Twelve, as well as The Terminal

Another sequel: She also went on to play Elena, yet again, in The Legend of Zorro, a sequel to The Mask of Zorro.



More Dylan: Catherine Zeta Jones' admiration for Dylan Thomas goes on, as she named her production company Milkwood Films, inspired by Thomas' play Under Milk Wood. Her brother, Lyndon Jones, runs the company.

Maiden venture: The first film under the Milkwood banner is Coming Out, starring Alan Cumming.

Always a bridesmaid?: If Zeta-Jones agrees to play the role in Dr. Who, she will feature as the sidekick to the character Time Lord, played by David Tennant. Does anyone wonder why an actress of her stature and beauty only gets supporting roles?

Catherine in demand: Director Russell T. Davies is keen to sign Welsh actress Catherine Zeta Jones for his upcoming film Dr. Who.

Welsh connection: Davies wants Zeta Jones to play a companion for the Doctor in the film based on the BBC series of the same name. He says, Being from Wales myself, I'd love to have Catherine Zeta Jones as a companion for the Doctor. To have anyone else would be inconceivable.

People, May 2006.
