I do like Kate Winslet, but I think Cate Blanchett far exceeds her as an actress. For me, Cate seems to have the perfect balance of emotional depth and skill whereas Winslet has incredible emotional depth but always relies on the same skills to portray those emotions. I'm always blown away by Cate's performances. She employs her entire self-body, mind & soul to become the characters where Winslet simply maintains the same characterization throughout. I liked Winslet in Eternal Sunshine but Cate floored me in Elizabeth. Such a complex nuanced role and powerful performance and is one which stands with Streep's Sophie's Choice as the two best female performances I've ever seen onscreen! Cate the Great is in a word - phenomenal!!
