Cate Blanchett, in flowing Dries Van Noten, was feeling "pregnant" Sunday on the Oscar red carpet, but says her baby wasn't feeling a thing.

Presenter and nominee for Best Actress, the expectant mom seemed to reveal her unborn baby's gender when she told PEOPLE, "He's actually asleep – believe it or not, which bodes well."

She took home a Film Independent's Spirit Awards Saturday, which she dedicated to her I'm Not There costar Heath Ledger.

Page was up against Jolie's A Mighty Heart performance and took everything in stride.

"I'm just trying to go along with it, staying with a friend, having fun," Page told PEOPLE of Oscar weekend. "Just trying to remove myself in a way, and remember it's about film ... These nominations are a huge honor. It's exciting."

Cate Blanchett Looks Fierce as Indiana Jones's Foe

Originally posted 01/02/2008 01:45PM

Everybody's favorite explorer is back, some 19 years after his last adventure – this time in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

"There's something about the character that I guess is a good fit for me," leading man Harrison Ford, 65, tells Vanity Fair for its February issue, "because the minute I put the costume on, I recognize the tone that we need, and I feel confident and clear about the character."

Also around as Indy again cracks the whip: Karen Allen (returning for the first time since 1981's Raiders of the Lost Ark, in her original role as Marion Ravenwood); Shia LaBeouf (in a role that's been hinted to be the love child of Indy and Marion); and, shown here, Cate Blanchett, who plays a Russian dominatrix named Agent Spalko and whom the magazine likens to James Bond's old bayonet-shoe wearing nemesis Rosa Klebb, in From Russia, With Love.

Watch your back, Indy.

As for the span of time, producer Steven Spielberg says of both himself and Ford: "We're both older – and we both look a bit older, I think, certainly – but at the same time Harrison needed to recapture the caustic, laconic spirit of Dr. Jones, and certainly he was going to have to manage the action, and he did both of those things amazingly well. … He was just a little more out of breath after every stunt, just a little more, and so was I."

Meanwhile, Crystal Skull, set in 1957, opens May 22.
