LOS ANGELES: Cate Blanchett criticized the 'patriarchal pyramid' of Hollywood awards shows as she accepted the best actress prize from the Critics Choice Association in Los Angeles on Sunday.

The Australian actor and Oscar frontrunner, whose performance as an ambitious, morally dubious conductor in the classical music drama 'Tár' is sweeping awards, told a packed ballroom that she wished the whole 'structure' of awards shows could be changed.
