She didn't "shut down" anybody, liars. She spoke intelligently and straight-forwardly and without rancor or sarcasm or trying to correct any reporter. Your headline is a clickbait lie. It worked, yes. But you're hacks.

Pure class. "Being attractive doesn't preclude being intelligent." Sad that it needs to even be stated, but thank you, Cate!

So much admiration for this woman. She's articulate, intelligent and truly talented, and a role model for people everywhere.

"Being attractive does not preclude being intelligent" ❤❤

She's beautiful, attractive, can sing, can dance, can act, makes the whole nation gay, intelligent, Can someone tell me if she's perfect or not?

shes way too classy and intelligent to have to "shut down" anyone

God, I hate click bait RU-vid titles. But I guess you wouldn't get as many views if you called it: "Cate Blanchett gives intelligent answers to intelligent questions."

SHE IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN..BUT THE FACT THAT SHE'S SO INTELLIGENT AND ELOQUENT, MAKES HER EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL.

Beauty, grace, intelligent and class I just love this woman so much

The way she talks ❤️

She's one of the most intelligent actresses. She thrives in these press interviews. The content of her answers is often like in a pageant Q & A.

Her voice rocks my world!!!!! 👍🏾🇬🇧🌈🇺🇸🙏xxxxx

Cate you are a gift to this world and thank you for including the transgender community with this interview its such a big deal for us to be included. Thank you

So eloquent so intelligent so articulate so graceful

Cate is such a beatiful force of beauty and wisdom

Nice interview by a modern film icon but misleading title Metro. Misleading indeed.

With Miss Blanchett and her magnificence spearheading this year's Cannes jury, this is as perfect as life is gonna get.

Cate blanchett is inspiring admirable and flawless. We look up to you and learn from your charm and leadership.

Cate Blanchett has the guts for this job " love U Cate

My grandfather taught me at a young age that a flower garden with only one color, of only one species, would make a very boring flower garden.

Is this video taking forever to load for anyone else?

Queen Cate ❤️😍 how is she so eloquent and confident?? I'd be a bumbling mess if I had to speak in front of a crowd. 😂

Shut down happens at 3:05 (I assume the video got cut off)

Had to check down the comments section in case I missed the “shuts down” part.

"shuts down"? how? where?

Would be nice to see Native Americans in film! Just throwing that out there

pure class, love her

So chic... love her in so many ways! My inspiration!

Such a fabulous replies to some provocative questions! Cate Blanchett's warm voice is so so.... adhesive! Thank you for the shared clip!

She gave great responses, but phrasing things as "shut down" seems like hyperbole. Seemed pretty tame.

Anyone using click bait titles should be punishable by law.

shuts down ?

Which reporter was the sexist one?

love her

Loved how Mr. Villeneuve, a a great master has bended and become intense hearing deep thoughts by another master her majesty Ms. Blanchett.

Her pink suit next to the blue suit reminded me of Cotten candy 😂👏🏼👍🏻

Global movie star,l love her talent,her beauty and fine mind.

Kate is so lovely and sassy.

A living legend!

Never mess with Gloriana

Cate Blanchett should have called for fairness not equality in Cannes. ''...The art in which women excel best is theater, and in each actor there is always something feminine'' [Julius Evola Metaphysics Of Sex, Part IV, Chapter Male (Man) and Female (Woman) Psychology].

Qué inteligente es Cate Blanchett

This is why we love you so much Cate!

Oh my god , she said “Chilean filmmaker” ❤❤❤❤ I love her even more now, although I love her since 98.

So smart and beautiful.

She makes some very good points. Only one complaint from me, and I blame too many psychology/sociology/etc. type classes over the years.... people keep saying 'Gender' at times when 'Sex' would be the more appropriate/accurate term. I'm not saying that Gender isn't an issue, but if she is saying there aren't enough Women/Females who are identified as Female due to what it says on their driver's licence, you should use the term 'sex' not 'gender'. Sex = Physical characterteristics of a person and, Gender = The non-physical (i.e. Male/Female pronouns, wearing dresses or slacks, wearing short/long hair, make up/not, body language)... I will probably get screamed at for this comment. Still thought I would put the idea/vocab lesson out there for people to mull over. Thought I have to agree with what she says about how there does need to be a greater number of people who aren't 40+ year old white males. Females, women of color, men of color, Asian, deaf, Native Americans, transgender, women over 45, lesbians, biracial, etc. etc. etc.

Мне очень нравится Кейт Бланшетт австралийская актриса она запомнилась мне вроли Галадриэль

La classe de cette femme mhhhh

Transgender population in the US is about 1.4 million out of about 325 million. Without confirming the math thats about .3 percent, and Uk is about .1 percent. That would mean that once every 300 movies a transgender director would be represented, if they occur at the same interval as other members of the population. Even expecting that creative work would attract a group, still it would be rare for a film directed/starred by a transgender to appear every year. That is not even considering the likelihood of commercial success. Audiences often want stories about themselves or people they can identify with. It seems far more impactful if transgender stories were in mediums that didn't rely on commercial success. Just a small amount of money could make several youtube, twitch productions, or a small full size movie can be done for 1-4 million and appear on netflix or streaming. Saying that the Canne Festival's mission is diversity, and an offhand remark that it already failed because of lack of a transgender director was silly. Women make up at least 50% of the population. It is far more reasonable to expect equal treatment with such a high representation. However there are reasons that make equity harder for women to achieve in an industry. Pure Equity may never be achieved with out an artificial control.... but is that what anybody wants?

Click bait but I click Cate!

So well spoken and effortlessly elegant - unless she's with Sarah Paulson. 🤣

She’s so gorgeous, classy and intelligent! Life’s unfair! Haha

as she crashes stereotypes cynical journalist skeptics

ME PARECE MARAVILLOSO.QUE CATE VEA Y HABLE DEL CINE CHILENO....😘

She spokes in british , is she british ?

BEAUTIFUL WOMAN INSIDE AND OUT 😘😘😘😘

This woman really :"""

click bait

She is so clever I have no idea what she is talking about.

The sooner people learn that equality of opportunity and equality of outcome are mutually exclusive the better.

ALLWAYS INTELIGENT AND CHARMING!... IT IS, ALLWAYS; A PLEASURE TO SEE AND LISTEN MISS BLANCHETT!....

MY QUEEN

Clickbait headline

Silly comment. No-one shut down. Discourse is civil

preys become preditors but worst they imprint such traits to their children genetically as embodied cognition she is a classy sociopath awesome

1:27

I think I am in love. ❤

Very erudite. Great spokesperson. Clumsy ear piece.

That wasn’t sexist Jesus.

ooof that's savage

Yeah pure class: buddies and with Woody and Weinstein. What wonderful woman. I forgive Australians alot, because they are so awesome, but I don't forgive that bs.

President Blanchett

❤️

What group is over represented?

Rispetti le donne 👏👏🏻👏🏼

Love her so much

❤❤❤❤❤❤

QUEEN!

Сате аrticulates so convincing as usual.She is at her best

Yawn.

This woman is a consummate brilliant egalitarian Genius. Erudite. Of inimitable hilarious ribald humor and able to pull it together at the best moment with impeccable timing. Have I got her, spot on ??

Remember everyone, this is an entertainment industry. Do not feel pressured by others to consume their beliefs. Aliens is a fun & inspirational film with a diverse mix of relatable characters & a strong female lead. There is nothing new about this sudden crusade. Cate would appreciate the spotlight & all of your attention.

Blah blah platitudes and abstract nonsense. Do not confuse articulate people with intelligent people. She is an actress.

The playing of this video is being deliberately slowed down by RU-vid. I know because I have Google Fiber.

Wasn't she good friends with Harvey Weinstein?

Bullshit title.

God she's a Queen!

a brilliant and talented lady

Cate needs to be an Ambassador with the EU, UN and the US. She’s profoundly one of the most interesting, intelligent, well spoken actor in the world. ❤Cate Blanchett❤️

yawn

The reporter is not sexist. Just because you don't like a question, doesn't make the person who asked it, a bad person. And you can disagree with the statement or agree. And equating beauty with stupidity applies in Western culture to both men and women. Jocks and bimbos mean the same thing.

Le festival de cannes this year was so bad, thanks to all those feminists and pro black etc......

Have done some construction work for cate , a very different woman off camera!

Her version of aussie accent sounds a little American

BULL$HIT CLICKBAIT

She should be ashamed to have worked with woody Allen and never apologize for that!

So? it also means that if you are beautiful you mostly be stupid? You can be the most beautiful woman and the most intelligent. What a stupid sentence.

I'm all for diversity, but you have feminists and SJW's that think women should be given a leg up for no reason other than their gender. If you look at some of the newer films, they are creating terrible female characters just for the sake of having them. Take Rey from star wars. She's nothing but a "Mary Sue" character, who can do anything and everything with no training. I like strong women roles, like Ripley in the Alien movies, who develope over time through hardship. The way it should be. Many of the women roles today are ridiculous and totally unbelievable.

What if women don’t won’t to be involved? Women don’t have to be in every occupation to be equall!!! If you really are serious about judging work on its merits, then you can’t have equal numbers of gender or race, just so you feel better.
