I saw an interview with Cate Blanchett and she said she based her character on Ruth Madoff. Woody Allen's directing style is not to direct at all apparently.

I'd love for her to win. She is so talented and under rewarded, IMO.

If Meryl Streep wins again, I'll be very upset.

Did you see August: Osage County?

I thought Meryl was incredible in AOC. I also thought Cate B. was excellent in Blue Jasmine.

The overall plot is similar to the Madoff story. I think what is being referred to here, tho is the aspect of her going ballistic when her husband takes up with a teenage au pair - and says he really loves her. Then she calls the FBI to turn him in and basically descends into madness.

I can "see" Mia Farrow behaving that way.
