Cate Blanchett is my pick because she can be icy, warm, strange, funny and terrifying. TÁR, Blue Jasmine, Carol and Elizabeth are all so different. She has that old Hollywood presence but still takes risks.
Who is the greatest actress of all time: Meryl Streep, Viola Davis, Cate Blanchett, or someone else?

Answers & Discussion
Viola Davis gets my vote emotionally. When she is on screen, I believe every word. Doubt, Fences, The Help and How to Get Away with Murder all show how powerful she can be with silence as much as dialogue. She makes small moments feel huge.
Meryl Streep is the easy answer, but it is easy for a reason. The range is massive, from drama to comedy to accents to musicals. What makes her special is that she rarely feels like she is trying to prove anything. She just becomes part of the film’s world.
