Oh, Snap! Aussie actor disses Cate Blanchett

Cate Blanchett hasn't even started as the new Artistic Director of the Sydney Theatre Company, and already she's kinda getting trounced.

Colin Moody, a member of the company, resigned, saying, 'An Oscar for acting is not a suitable recommendation to run the biggest theatre company in the country.' Well, that's true. Here's what The Guardian said:

"Moody said he could not longer take the 'office politics' and 'hypocrisy' at the Sydney Theatre Company, adding the company had been 'importing people asking them to do a task that they haven't a clue how to do'."

Ouch!

Blanchett will share the "the top job in Australian theatre" with her husband, Andrew Upton. Though she does seem drastically underqualified, Upton is a screenwriter, playwright, and director who seems more credible as an artistic helmer. Cate Blanchett is already effecting change in Sydey - she persuaded Giorgio Armani to become a patron of the theater and donate a good chunk of change.

Still, it's hard enough for movie actors to be welcomed on Broadway in an acting capacity - is this only the beginning of the trouncing of Cate Blanchett?
