George Clooney has lavished praise on his co-star Cate Blanchett, insisting she is so talented he found her "intimidating" to work with. The pair both star in director Steven Soderbergh's upcoming movie The Good German, and Clooney is convinced Blanchett is a shoe in to win the Best Actress Academy Award next year.

He says, "I will tell you right now - she will win the Oscar. She's the best actress working today. Not actress, she's an actor. Intimidating, in a way, to work with an actor that good."
