And gave a winning and witty response on the red carpet.
'I'm married' -Cate Blanchett to Guiliana Rancic. Best celeb response to gushing interviewer I've heard. #SAGAwards

Zing!
Blanchett then took home the award for Best Actress for her role in “Blue Jasmine.”

Her acceptance speech scored. First, she threw a little shade at Matthew McConaughey. As Twitchy reported, his acceptance speech Saturday night baffled and sparked “what is he smoking?” snickers.
Whoa — Cate Blanchett just TOLD the #sag wrap up guy who let McConaughey ramble on "about Neptune" but tried to cut her off! Yes!

"McConaughey talked about Neptune. I think I can have 5 seconds." — Cate Blanchett's acceptance speech. #SAGAwards

"Matthew McConaughey spoke about Neptune!" — the inimitable Cate Blanchett, resisting the wrap-it-up music at the SAG awards.

“@EW: "McConaughey talked about Neptune. I think I can have 5 seconds." — Cate Blanchett's acceptance speech. #SAGAwards” This was awesome!

Cate Blanchett mocking Matthew McConaughey's lame speech was probably the best thing about SAG.

Thank you Cate Blanchett for calling out Matthew McConaughey out on his BS.

The best part of Matthew McConaughey's speech was Cate Blanchett mocking it.

Yep, hilarious.
But Blanchett wasn’t done shade-throwing!
