Oscar-winning actress Cate Blanchett expresses a desire to rewind and halt the broadcast of glamorous award shows. During a recent appearance on the “Las Culturistas” podcast with hosts Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang, the ‘Carol’ star reminisced about a time when privacy was woven into the fabric of entertainment discussions. She proposed that the Oscars return to the days when the awards were not televised.

Blanchett’s candid remarks resonated as she highlighted the diminishing opportunities for privacy, stating, “There are so few spaces now where you can truly be private.” This comment reflects the growing trend of capturing celebrities on mobile devices in public settings.

She fondly reflected on the late ’80s: “I loved going to dance parties in Sydney during Mardi Gras. People were just there, fully present and enjoying each other’s company in a non-aggressive environment. No one was recording or monitoring others’ actions.”

Hosts Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang chimed in, noting how the era of TikTok has made privacy even more elusive. They pointed out the viral phenomenon of lip readers deciphering celebrity conversations at awards shows, to which a bewildered Blanchett responded with intrigue.

Blanchett humorously remarked, “I know it’s blasphemous, but I’d love to return to a time when the Oscars weren’t televised. It would be wonderful to have a celebration where people could simply unwind. The industry is at a pivotal point, which could be exciting or deeply unsettling, and we need to come together to rejoice in our craft without the pressure of public scrutiny.”

She added, “Fashion is great and all, but we’ll find out who the winners are eventually. It would be refreshing if those moments were kept behind closed doors. It would completely transform the evening.”

With a distinguished career, Cate Blanchett has made her mark at various award shows, winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 2005 for ‘The Aviator’ and Best Lead Actress in 2014 for ‘Blue Jasmine,’ along with six additional nominations.

Viral Video: A heartwarming incident involving Indian cricketer Sanju Samson has gone viral on social media.

The incident took place when two friends were riding a bike from Kadampazhippuram to Mangalamkunnu ground to play cricket in the evening. While passing the Punjappadam school bus stop, they noticed a newly parked Range Rover car on the roadside.

Out of curiosity, they looked closely and saw Sanju Samson sitting in the driver’s seat, attending a video call. The friends turned their bike around and approached the car. Samson politely asked them to wait for a minute as he was on a call.

After finishing the call, Samson stepped out of the car and spoke to them. He then asked if they wanted to take a photo. The fan happily agreed and took out his phone, which had a damaged display with visible lines.

Noticing the issue, Samson asked him to wait for a moment. He opened the car trunk and took out a new phone. To the fan’s surprise, Samson handed over the phone and told him to use it instead, as his current phone had a display problem.

The unexpected gesture left the fan emotional and grateful. The incident has been widely appreciated online, with many praising Sanju Samson for his kindness and humility.
