Cate Blanchett has won the Oscar for best actress, for her role as a socialite unhinged by her husband's financial crimes in Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine. "As random and subjective as this award is, it means a great deal in a year of, yet again, extraordinary performances by women," said the actress. Blanchett beat previous Oscar winners Sandra Bullock, Amy Adams, Judi Dench and Meryl Streep to win the coveted award.
