00:00Cate Blanchett is saying award shows should no longer be televised out of respect for privacy.

00:06The two-time Oscar-winning actress made a recent appearance on the Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang podcast,

00:11where she suggested that the Oscars should go back to the day when it wasn't televised.

00:16The conversation started when Blanchett noted that there are so few spaces that you can go now

00:21where you are private, without phones, and the risk of someone recording you.

00:25She noted that's what I loved about the late 80s was going to all of the dance parties in Sydney for Mardi Gras.

00:31People were just there. They were so present, you know.

00:33They were just together, collectively, having a great time.

00:36It was non-aggressive. No one was being recorded. No one cared what anyone did.

00:41The co-host then explained that people try and lip-read on TikTok

00:44to guess what celebrities are saying to each other at award shows,

00:47and it looks like it could be exactly what they're saying in a way that's a little bit odd.

00:52Yang added that the lip-reading trend makes Hollywood events feel more treacherous,

00:56to which the black-bag actress suggested not having it televised at all.

01:00Blanchett noted,

01:01Just have a great party where people can just let go.

01:04I mean, the industry is so scattered and at such a point,

01:07which I think potentially could be exciting or could really be depressing.

01:11But it's at a pivot point, and so we need to gather together and celebrate what it is that we do,

01:16without it having to have any public facing.
