Blanchett is one of our most prominent actors working today. She’s constantly challenging the roles people think that she’s not up to play and pushes boundaries with her work. If it isn’t starring in films likeCarolorNightmare Alley, it’s tackling the Marvel Cinematic Universe inThor: Ragnarokand beyond. Having both Cooper and Haynes there to honor her work makes perfect sense and it will be a ceremony you won’t want to miss!
According to the press release, the gala will “adhere to a comprehensive series of health and safety policies in coordination with state and city medical experts”.
