CATE BLANCHETT
I'm Not There
Oscar History: Five nominations, one win (for The Aviator in 2005).
2008 Scorecard: She won a Golden Globe for best supporting actress (and was also up for best actress, in addition to four other nominations this season).
Before She Hit Oscar: The Aussie star, who played Bob Dylan in the film, studied economics and fine art at the University of Melbourne.
Just One of the Guys ... Again: "I was constantly playing men at high school," Blanchett, 38, told the Today show. "I was relieved when I became a professional actor, and suddenly was able to wear dresses. I was tall, and I don't know, probably pig-headed and strong, and so therefore was often cast as men."
