Cate Blanchett has revealed she slept with her Oscar last night, joking it was the closest she and her husband had ever come to a threesome.

Just hours after her best actress win at the Academy Awards, Cate, 44, appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, telling Ellen – who hosted the awards ceremony – that she had taken her golden statuette to bed with her the previous night.

“It’s the closest my husband and I have ever come to a threesome!” she exclaimed.

Cate was still obviously unwilling to part with her trophy, bringing it on the Ellen show with her, where she let audience members pass it around – but only after warning how heavy it was.

“Actresses don’t work out so you want to win awards so your arms get really ripped,” she joked.

Cate also confessed she couldn’t remember her acceptance speech – in which she praised the “extraordinary performances by women” – saying she was too shocked she had won.

“I have no idea what I said … as long as it made sense, did I dribble? … I’m in the middle of hormone replacement therapy,” she said.
