In 2002, Blanchett starred opposite Giovanni Ribisi in Tom Tykwer-directed "Heaven", the first film in an unfinished trilogy by acclaimed writer-director Krzysztof Kieślowski. Her performance in the film as a grieving woman who commits a desperate act of terrorism was highly praised, with Stephen Holden of "The New York Times" calling it, "the most compelling screen performance of her career" and going on to state, "Although Ms. Blanchett's face has always registered emotion with a mercurial fluidity, the immediacy of feeling she conveys in ""Heaven"" is astonishing." 2003 saw Blanchett again playing a wide range of roles: Galadriel in of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy (which won the Academy Award for Best Picture); the Ron Howard-directed western thriller "The Missing" opposite Tommy Lee Jones; Jim Jarmusch's "Coffee and Cigarettes" – playing two roles (both against herself) – for which she received an Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Female nomination; and the biographical "Veronica Guerin", which earned her a Golden Globe Best Actress Drama nomination. In 2004, Blanchett portrayed a pregnant journalist chronicling an underwater voyage by an eccentric oceanographer in Wes Anderson's "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou".
