Cate Blanchett, actress at very top of Hollywood A-list

Blanchett made her breakthrough performance in 1998, playing the 16th century British monarch in "Elizabeth", which won her a slew of awards and her first Oscar nomination.

CANNES: Cate Blanchett reputation as possibly the greatest actresses of her generation is being cemented further at Cannes, where the premiere of her latest movie "Carol" has won rave reviews.

Born in Melbourne on May 14, 1969, Blanchett began her career on the Australian stage, building up a string of acclaimed theatre performances in the early 1990s before working her way into increasingly high-profile film roles.

She is now one of the few women in Hollywood with the clout to carry a movie single-handed, a two-time Oscar winner chased by the world's greatest directors, from Martin Scorsese to Woody Allen to David Fincher.

"Carol" sees her reunited with Todd Haynes, who directed her uncanny Oscar-nominated turn as Bob Dylan in 2007's "I'm Not There".

Her already-lauded performance in "Carol" comes at a time when women are increasingly pushing back against the male-dominated film industry.

"Midrange films with women at the centre are tricky to finance. There are a lot of people labouring under the misapprehension that people don't want to see them, which isn't true," she told Variety magazine.

Blanchett made her breakthrough performance in 1998, playing the 16th century British monarch in "Elizabeth", which won her a slew of awards and her first Oscar nomination.

Only a year earlier, she had been on the public side of the barrier on her first trip to Cannes, having to blag a ticket to get into one of the premieres.

By 1999, she was back in Cannes, but this time as a star, presenting "An Ideal Husband".

"I was laughing so hard, because only two years earlier, I’d been on the other side of the barricades," she told Variety.

'Best and bravest'

She has been nominated six times at the Academy Awards, winning the supporting actress statuette for another pitch-perfect impression, as Katherine Hepburn in "The Aviator" in 2004.

She again won the top acting prize in 2013 for her performance as the wife of a disgraced high-society mogul in Woody Allen’s "Blue Jasmine".

Blanchett has also dabbled in blockbusters, appearing in "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull", "Robin Hood", and all of Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" and "Hobbit" films.

She brought a devilish glee to her part as the evil stepmother in this year's "Cinderella".

But it is parts in more indie fare that have built her reputation, from the wealthy socialite in "The Talented Mr Ripley" to the crusading Irish journalist in "Veronica Guerin" or another heavily-accented (and pregnant) reporter in Wes Anderson's "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou".

She has repeatedly returned to the stage, to similar levels of acclaim. The New York Times described her as "one of the best and bravest actresses on the planet" after watching her in 2011's production of "Uncle Vanya".

Along with her writer husband Andrew Upton, Blanchett became artistic director of the Sydney Theatre Company from 2008 to 2013. The pair, who have three sons together, were credited with using their connections to bring international directors Down Under.

2015 Mitsubishi Mirage with minor update arrives - RM65,662

Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia has quietly introduced the updated 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage in the country. The sixth-gen was given a minor update late last year – the car first surfaced in Australia in October, and now, it’s our turn to get the revision.

Not many changes, exterior-wise – the Mirage gets a new front bumper as seen on the limited-edition Mirage Sports back in 2013, and features a short antenna mounted towards the rear of the roofline (the previous one was placed at the front). Also, the side mirrors now feature signal repeaters. Inside, there’s a new 2-DIN Kenwood head-unit to be found. Otherwise, the kit remains as before.

Aside from these small revisions, the update should also carry the technical improvements mentioned on the Australian-market model. It was stated that additional sound insulation and a new mounting system for the engine have been incorporated to increase the car’s overall refinement and performance.

Changes to the engine mounting system consist of a new hydraulic insulator and high rigidity cast aluminium bracket to reduce noise and vibration. There’s also a new lightweight and rigid cast steel bracket for the transmission.

As for improving on NVH levels, extra sound insulation material has been added to the front and rear floor areas, the A-pillar, front cowl as well as the dashboard panel of the 2015 MY car. No changes to the powertrain, with the 3A92 1.2 litre DOHC three-pot unit soldiering on and continuing with its 78 PS at 6,000 rpm and 100 Nm at 4,000 rpm output.

The model line-up has however been revised – the updated Mirage is only available in a single GS variant form, meaning that the previous entry-level GL trim has been discontinued. The 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage GS – which is available in Red Metallic, Eisen Gray Mica and White Pearl – is priced at RM65,662 (on-the-road with insurance and GST inclusive).

Russia grounds Proton-M rockets following an accident

Russia's space program just can't catch a break, it seems. A spokesperson tells RIAthat the country has suspended all Proton-M rocket launches following an accident that destroyed one model carrying a Mexican satellite.

Officials reportedly want to know why this vehicle failed before they let any others take off -- all they've determined so far is that the third stage's engine booster suffered a glitch.

The move is understandable (both Russia and private launch services lean heavily on the Proton-M), but it also suggests that the nation's rocket problems are boiling to a head. Unless it finds a permanent solution, there may well be more incidents in the future.
