Cate Blanchett was honored last night at the Princess Anne Theatre in London by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) with a slideshow presentation, “A Life in Pictures.” Here’s a re-cap of why Cate was honored with a major Academy event:

She will soon be seen in Notes on a Scandal with Dame Judi Dench; in Babel opposite Brad Pitt, and in The Good German, opposite George Clooney.

She is currently in production on The Golden Age, the sequel to Elizabeth, for which she won her first BAFTA for Actress in a Leading Role in 1998. She was also nominated for Actress in a Supporting Role in The Talented Mr Ripley and won a second BAFTA for her role as Katherine Hepburn in The Aviator.

Future projects include Todd Haynes‘ I’m Not There, in which she portrays a Young Bob Dylan, and David Fincher’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, in which she appears with her Babel co-star, Brad Pitt.
