Cate Blanchett attacks media over awards ceremony frock coverage
Cate Blanchett believes the media are not asking the correct questions when females are on the red carpet. She believes they need to ask more questions about the film and less questions on the dress and the appearance of the woman. This seems like a case of the female gaze, because the media is just looking at women in a physical aspect, and not looking at them in the way they should be looked at in that period of time.
Blanchett’s comments come after the US-based Representation Project launched a campaign utilising the hashtag #askhermore during the recent awards season. The project aimed to highlight the unwillingness of red-carpet reporters to delve beyond the sartorial surface when interviewing female actors.
