you know what, all people are entitled to their own opinion. Who the Hell do you people think you are by stepping all over the OP because they expressed theirs? I mean, almost all of you who responded are really rude. Why do you people constantly feel that everyone in the world has to conform to YOUR personal tastes and opinions??? grow up and get your head out of your own ass, because youre starting to reek like feces.

I like her (just seen Inside Man and I knew I recognized her from Blair Witch 2) but she is definately not deserving of 'Best Actress Ever'!
Here is my top five actresses and not cos I want to bed them!
5) Mary McDonnell
4) Jodie Foster
3) Maggie Gyllenhaal
2) Rachel Weisze

1. Cate Blanchett

She simply hasn't the body of work to be considered the best actress in the world. There are actresses in India who blow her away, and in South Korea, and basically anywhere in the world.
This is not saying she's bad, I think she's a decent actress and will continue to grow in her craft, but she has a long way to go and she needs some more starring roles.

She does have fantastic boobs.

KIM DIRECTOR
JORJA FOX
JEMIMA ROOPER
PAULEY PERRETTE
AMY LEE
DEBI MAZAR

Meryl Streep, Laura Linney, Anette Bening, Julianne Moore,
Catherine Keener, there's five more
and thats just from a quick glance at my dvd collection
what exactly has Ms Director ever done to prove her talents, because I've only ever seen her in Inside Man, and that wasn't exactly a showstopping role she had.
"It's just a movie" is no excuse for lazy filmmaking!

Ummm shes not bad at acting!!!
but I agree with you on your first point
"I can't remember to forget her"

No, not even close. She's pretty in two ways: pretty physically, and pretty bad at acting.

• It is the exception that confirms the rule -

Umm no they suck! Uma Thurman is alright but not the best
I agree with the original poster
"I can't remember to forget her"

She is not the best actress in the world.
There are tens of women more deserving of the title
Dame Judy Dench
Natalie Portman
Juliette Lewis
Helena Bonham Carter
Uma Thurman
