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.
