Cate Drops F-Bomb At Oscars

[icyfroth]

Never have more passionate words fallen from the lips of one of our greatest Aussie thespians.

Yes, this is going to be a contentious statement, but, we've got to admit, if anyone is going to know the best time to drop an F-bomb for emphasis, that person would be Cate Blanchett.

The Aussie darling, fresh from winning the Best Actress Oscar for her role in 'Blue Jasmine,' was being corralled into a Q and A in the press room following her big win.

Fielding questions from journalists, one Aussie reporter had a poignant question for Our Cate.

"You are the first Australian actor or actress ever to win two Oscars…" the journalist began, before Cate jumped in, quipping: "And don't you f**king forget it!"

I wish ppl wouldn't think themselves terribly avant-garde by dropping the f-bomb. It's uncouth and totally spoiled Cate's glamour for me.

Sheesh...mixed company means a mix of young and old, male and female

No, it doesn't.

Mixed company is: "A gathering of people consisting of members of both sexes", age is irrelevant and not part of the accepted definition. 

---

Yeah well I don't think that's enough, I think it should be young and old as well.

You could always get yourself a job with a dictionary mob? Or try to...Good luck with that!

The meaning of mixed company has NEVER changed though, that is the point.  It has been around for a very long time and means the same today as it did originally.

As freaki said that saying probably has no place in today's world, young people wouldn't say it.. so the original meaning will stick.

[buzzlightyearsgirlfriend]

Correct.

Some older women might be the only group who object to the Cate's f bomb.

It wasn't reported in the US. That's from ABC Australia and the link is from Yahoo Australia.

I thought it was humourous and showed a human everyday ordinary side, instead of the glossed over stuffed shirt version of themselves we normally see.

You know the type....they exist.

As far as cursing while sewing, that might explain what the F stitch really stands for....

I had to give the benefit of doubt. It was just too much to take that someone who's name is not Abbott or Bishop would use the phrase in this century  :D:D

Good for her, she's not constrained by the holier-than-thou USA mainstream media ("Shock horror ! Cate Blanchett said "**bleep**ing" !) (Mind you, the USA would have you think that swearing is bad, but just about everyone can carry an automatic weapon and blow you away, mo-fo).

They truly have warped priorities in life.   They nearly had a collective apoplectic fit when what's-her-name had a "wardrobe malfunction" at some sporting event - can you get any more precious than that.

I really should have replied to this one.

It's not the US media and the wardrobe malfunction was during daytime TV and was done on purpose during the most watched sporting event of the year...the Superbowl.

Funny, I'm surprised someone managed to tie guns in the US to a post about an Australia, reported in an Australia news program, picked up by an Australian online service.

And I believe masking profanity as in your quote is a violation.

*mumbles....includes fbomb!*

 I can understand you getting miffed about that Jimmy, sure no country is perfect but at least you guys give displaced people jobs.

here we put them on tiny islands and make life even more unbearable. the days of australians preaching to anyone are long gone,  putin is better than us.

Yet freaki needed to have it explained to her

Oh freaki's so young that's why she didn't understand it?

Right...

Nothing to do with freaki at all. It was to do with the claim by another.. that  mixed company should include old & young, as well as both genders.
