Cate Blanchett wasn’t in the audience when she was announced as the winner at the 2023 Golden Globes on Tuesday night (January 10) at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif.
The 53-year-old actress won in the Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama for her work on TÁR, beating out the likes of Olivia Colman (Empire of Light), Viola Davis (The Woman King), Ana de Armas (Blonde) and Michelle Williams (The Fabelmans).
The win marked Cate‘s fourth at the Golden Globes and her first since she won in the same category in 2014 for Blue Jasmine. Her first-ever win was in 1999, again in the same category for Elizabeth.
She is now in a four-way tie with Meryl Streep, Ingrid Bergman and Jane Fonda as the actresses with the most wins in the category.
Cate was not the first Golden Globe winner to miss the 2023 ceremony.
Where was Cate? She is currently in production on a project in the U.K.
TÁR went into the evening with three nominees. It lost out to The Banshees of Inisherin for Best Screenplay and is still in the running for Best Motion Picture Drama.
