Woody Allen is back with 'Blue Jasmine', a film starring Cate Blanchett as a New York socialite who suddenly finds herself living out of home and pocket.
IT IS shaping up as a golden year at the Oscars for Australia, with Cate Blanchett, Catherine Martin and a posse of other Australians nominated.
Blanchett was nominated for her role as a New York socialite on the decline in Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine. Martin received a double Oscar nomination - costume design and production design - for The Great Gatsby, a similar feat she achieved for Moulin Rouge! more than a decade ago.
Martin's Aussie collaborator Beverley Dunn joins her on the production design nomination, but Baz Luhrmann was snubbed for a directing nomination for the film.
The con-artist comedy American Hustle and the 3-D space odyssey Gravity lead the Academy Awards with 10 nominations each, including nods for best picture.

Nine films were nominated for best picture. The other nominees are 12 Years a Slave, Captain Phillips, Dallas Buyers Club, Her, Nebraska, The Wolf of Wall Street and Philomena.
12 Years a Slave narrowly trailed Gravity and American Hustle with a total of nine nominations.

The Samuel Goldwyn Theatre inside the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences headquarters already had an Australian flavour before Blanchett's name was announced, with former Home & Away star-turned Thor superhero Chris Hemsworth on stage helping reveal the nominations.
Battling Martin for the costume design Oscar is Sydney's Michael Wilkinson who was nominated for American Hustle.
Australian visual effects wizard Dave Clayton has been nominated for his work on The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.
Clayton was also nominated last year for the first Hobbit film.
The film about Australian Mary Poppins author PL Travers, Saving Mr Banks, received a cold shoulder from the Academy.
It received just one nomination, original score.

It was hoped Saving Mr Banks' Australian producer Ian Collie would get a best picture nod and screenwriter Sue Smith for original screenplay, but they were bypassed.
The most notable omission by the academy was Tom Hanks, whose lead performance in Captain Phillips was widely considered a shoo-in.
Robert Redford, expected by many to be nominated for the shipwreck drama All Is Lost, also missed out on a best actor nod. Redford has never won an acting Oscar.
And perhaps the most unlikely Oscar contender is Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa, which is in the running for the Makeup and Hairstyling prize.
The best actor nominees are Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave), Bruce Dern (Nebraska), Leonardo DiCaprio (The Wolf of Wall Street), Matthew McConaughey (Dallas Buyers Club) and Christian Bale (American Hustle).
Disney's making-of-Mary Poppins tale Saving Mr. Banks also failed to land either a best picture nomination or a best actress nod for Emma Thompson.

The best actress nominees are Amy Adams (American Hustle), Cate Blanchett (Blue Jasmine), Sandra Bullock (Gravity), Judi Dench (Philomena) and Meryl Streep (August: Osage County).
With her nomination, Streep pads her record for most acting nominations. This is her 18th nod, including three wins, the last for playing Margaret Thatcher in 2011's The Iron Lady.
Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street was one of the biggest question marks of an awards season that has often left many guessing. The nearly three-hour Wall Street extravaganza of money, sex and drugs became a lightning rod of debate, with many questioning whether it glamorised the infamous trader Jordan Belfort.
But The Wolf of Wall Street landed big nominations: best picture, best actor (DiCaprio), best director (Scorsese, his eighth for directing) and best supporting actor (Jonah Hill).
Also doing well were Spike Jonze's futuristic romance Her (five nominations, including best original screenplay for Jonze), and Alexander Payne's black-and-white road trip Nebraska (six nominations, including best director for Payne).
One of the day's biggest winners was the 27-year-old producer Megan Ellison, the daughter of billionaire Oracle CEO Larry Ellison.
The first look at the new film "American Hustle"
Her Annapurna Pictures produced two of the best-picture nominees (American Hustle and Her) as well as the Wong Kar-Wai martial arts drama The Grandmaster. Ellison celebrated by tweeting "17!'' - the total nominations her films received.
Though historically the most-nominated films have taken home best picture, that's not been the case in recent years. In six of the last 10 years, the most-nominated film hasn't triumphed in the end, including last year when Steven Spielberg's Lincoln, with 12 nominations, was beaten by Ben Affleck's Argo.
This year's Oscar's telecast on March 2, with Ellen DeGeneres hosting for the second time, has particular pressure on it to live up to the increasingly popular Golden Globes.
Hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler have helped boost ratings for the Globes the last two years, and drawn good reviews. The Academy Awards have meanwhile struggled to freshen up its more prestigious brand.
The 44-year-old Blanchett has been nominated five previous times - Elizabeth in 1999, The Aviator (2005), Notes on a Scandal (2007), I'm Not There (2008) and Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2008).
She won an Oscar for best supporting actress for The Aviator.
12 YEARS A SLAVE is based on an incredible true story of one man's fight for survival and freedom. In the twelfth year of his unforgettable odyssey, Solomon's chance meeting with a Canadian abolitionist (Brad Pitt) forever alters his life.
Blanchett is the red hot favourite to win the best actress Oscar for Blue Jasmine after claiming the Golden Globe on Sunday.
