From IMDB: Cate Blanchett’s Best Actress Oscar nomination failed to boost her career – because producers just wanted her to repeat her celebrated role in Elizabeth. The Australian star found that, contrary to expectations, an Academy Award nomination 1998 actually hindered her desire to play a wide variety of roles.
