Cate Blanchett is longing for a pre-social media era of awards shows. The 2x Oscar winner recently made the case for non-televised awards shows after she discovered the “blasphemy” of lip readers on TikTok who reveal what celebs are saying in videos from the exclusive events.

Hollywood star Cate Blanchett wants to go back to the era of private award shows, where everything was not televisied or available for consumption on social media.

The Oscar winner says there are "so few spaces that you can go now, where you are private" in the era of phones and social media.
