Cate. Picture: GâDAY USA American Australian Association He then went on to praise Blanchett who he has worked with on several films including
The Good German and
The Monuments Men. I ve been asked to say a few words about Cate who is winning a Lifetime Achievement award, he said. I have to tell you what an honour it is to talk about someone of her calibre. I ve worked with her as a director, I ve worked with her as an actor, and when I say calibre I m not just talking about her obvious talent as an actress, Clooney said. She s easily the best actress of her generation. She is a consummate professional. She solves problem on a set all the time. And more than that, is how she solves problems in the rest of the world. It s what she does in trying to bring justice and hope to all the people who don t have justice and don t have hope.
