Cate Blanchett has confessed that she is pretty nervous about this year’s Oscars.

Talking to Ok ! Magazine, the Blue Jasmine star  admitted that she has “butterflies” in her stomach ahead of tonight’s award ceremony.

The actress, who was awarded an Academy Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Aviator in 2004, has been nominated for Best Actress for her role in Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine.

Talking about the awards ceremony, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button star said: “A lot of effort goes into effortlessness of walking up that marathon red carpet. I wake up with butterflies in my stomach. You never know the outcome. It has been an extraordinary year in films, so to be at the banquet is a privilege.”

However, while the 44-year-old is pretty nervous about the huge ceremony, she revealed she has a supportive network that doesn’t base her on award wins and helps to keep her grounded.

She said: ”Fortunately I have the most extraordinarily supportive family and friends, and my identity is not based on either my work or any of this.”

One Direction star Harry Styles has formed an unlikely friendship with Johnny Depp but it may well open the door to a career in Hollywood.

The pair first met when 1D performed at Johnny’s LA home in 2013 but it wasn’t until they became neighbours in Hampstead, London that their bromance truly blossomed.

According to a source: “Harry and Johnny have become good mates lately. Johnny has been on call to give Harry advice and, if he can, help him cope with the pressures of being a superstar.”

Harry texted his new BFF when he was in LA recently asking him to meet up and Johnny has even told the 1D heartthrob that he can stay on his private island in the Bahamas, whenever he wants.

The pair have a  lot in common what with them both of them being “one of the most famous people in the world.”

The insider added: “Harry is in total awe of Johnny and looks on him as his ultimate hero, while Johnny sees Harry as a younger version of himself.

Hopefully the other 1D boys won’t feel left out.

Losing weight but finding it hard to stick with your diet? These tips will keep you motivated:

Set achievable goals

Don’t try to achieve too much in a short amount of time. You will more than likely end up failing and will probably resort to snacking on something sweet to make you feel better. Think slow and steady.

Keep track of your progress

Every time you weigh yourself write it down. This way when you are having an off day you will be able to see just how far you’ve come along.

Don’t deprive yourself

Limit intake of food that you like but don’t cut it out completely. The moment you say you can’t have something you will start to crave it.

Get back up on the horse

If you do slip up make sure you get back up on the horse straight away, otherwise you will ruin all your hard work.

Go for a plait
French braids or plaits are a perfect way to tuck away stray grey hairs. They are also look pretty – added bonus.

Use a little make-up

If all else fails go for the bottle…
