As Cate Blanchett inches towards a possible third acting Oscar with this week\u2019s T\u00e1r<\/i>, we look back at the quickly forgotten Where\u2019d You Go, Bernadette.<\/i>\u00a0Based on the praised novel by Maria Semple about an eccentric former architect\u2019s disappearance, the film paired Blanchett with director Richard Linklater (and reunited her with actor Billy Crudup, playing her husband) and faced numerous delays from distributor Annapurna despite its pedigree. Linklater streamlined the novel\u2019s techno-epistolary structure, resulting in a more straightforward film that lost much of the novel\u2019s unique comic tone and character insights. Though Blanchett would earn a Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy nomination at the Globes, the film was already long forgotten at that point of the season.<\/p>\n
This episode, Blanchett joins our Six Timers Club and we talk about the barrier of entry to third acting Oscar wins. We also look at Crudup\u2019s filmography and his shockingly paltry lack of awards love, Linklater as a director hard to pin down to a career narrative, and Annapurna\u2019s bumpy and brief road from production company to distributor.<\/p>\n
