Cate Blanchett is returning to work after the death of Philip Seymour Hoffman.
'The Monuments Men' star, who cleared her schedule last week to mourn the loss of her close friend, has arrived back in Los Angeles with her playwright husband, Andrew Upton, ahead of the official Oscar nominees luncheon in Beverly Hills tomorrow (10.02.14).
The 44-year-old actress, who is nominated for Best Actress for her performance in Woody Allen's 'Blue Jasmine' at the ceremony on March 2, flew into LAX today (09.02.14) to attend the prestigious event, but was still in a sombre mood as she walked through the airport, according to the MailOnline website.
Cate cancelled a string of promotional appearances last week so she could support the 'Capote' star's estranged partner, Mimi O'Donnell, and attend his funeral in New York City on Friday (07.02.14).
A spokesperson for the Australian star previously said that her team made the decision to postpone interviews on 'Good Morning America' and 'Live! With Kelly and Michael' to promote 'The Monuments Men,' "to allow Cate the time and privacy to grieve the loss of her friend Philip Seymour Hoffman."
The Oscar-nominee formed a close friendship with the 46-year-old actor, who was found dead in his apartment from an apparent heroin overdose last Sunday (02.02.14), while starring alongside him in 'The Talented Mr. Ripley' in 1999.
The actress and her husband, who were among 400 mourners at Philip's funeral, were visibly distraught after the service at the Church of St Ignatius Loyola, Manhattan.

Heidi Range always felt responsible for her other bandmates.
The former Sugababes singer has taken a leap into theatre after the troubled girl group - who haven't released any new material since 2011 - decided to embark on a break, and she admits it's less pressure performing on stage than producing music with members Amelle Berrabah and Jade Ewen.
Asked how acting and singing are different, she said: "I think it is different. I think there's more of a big family [in theatre] I guess because there's more of you. I think it just feels like a big family, it sounds really cheesy but it does. I mean you've obviously got a lot of pressure on you as an individual to make sure you're character is right, but in regards to the actual show there's not as much pressure.
"Whereas with the band it was up to the three of us to make it work. Also you don't feel responsible for everyone else I guess in the sense that you did with the band, because it's just you three and if someone is not in the right mind frame you're really panicking about that."
The 30-year-old star is currently starring opposite former 'Emmerdale' actor Ben Freeman in a touring production of 'Happy Days: A New Musical' - based on the popular US sitcom - where she plays Pinky Tuscadero.
Speaking about the play, she said: "I'm just enjoying it. I trained when I was younger in singing, acting and dancing. I mean it's been a long time since I did all three but it really comes back to you but I'm just really loving it and enjoying it."

Lee Ryan became "addicted" to sleeping pills after 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
The Blue singer has revealed being in the house was tougher than he expected, and he has started to rely on the medication he was taking to help him sleep during his time on the show.
Speaking to the Daily Star Sunday, he said: "It is so hard in there ... It f***s with your mind. We all struggled. I starting taking sleeping pills in the house and I've become addicted to them.
"I wasn't the only one taking sleeping pills. A few of us did it. What no one saw was on my last day I was in the diary room crying my eyes out for ages and begging producers to let me see a psychiatrist.
"I was desperate to talk to someone. I think if I'd stayed in there any longer I would have been rocking back and forth and needing a straitjacket. I felt a bit like that anyway."
Lee also claimed he only went on the reality show because he needed to pay "a huge tax bill".
He insisted: "I had to go in the Big Brother house. I had no choice. I had a huge tax bill to pay if I'm being completely honest.
"I thought f**k it, I need to pay my tax bill and they were offering me a huge amount."

Emma Willis has been offered the chance to host 'The Voice' for another year.
The 37-year-old beauty has impressed viewers after she replaced Holly Willoughby, and it is said bosses are very keen for her to return with her co-star Marvin Humes for the show's third series.
An insider told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "From day one, Emma has been incredible. She's connected with the singers and their families.
"She'll get emotional and caught up in their stories and songs. There's no holding back and it's not forced. She's very natural.
"Marvin and her got on really well too - they have this great chemistry. It was always going to be a tough act for her to follow Holly, but Emma seems to have struck an even bigger chord with people."
Although she currently works for a number of channels - due to presenting the likes of 'Celebrity Big Brother' on Channel 5 and 'This Morning' on ITV - the BBC are keen to utilise her talent as much as they can.
The source added: "She is spread across several channels at the moment - working on 'This Morning', 'CBB', 'The Voice' and 'Heart FM'.
"The BBC are hoping she'll stick with them and not totally defect to ITV.
"She's liked by women and men. She's intelligent and can turn her hand to lots of different things."

Bradley Cooper isn't sure who he'll bring to the Oscars this year.
The hunky star is nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Richie DiMaso in 'American Hustle' and he admits he has yet to decide who he'll invite to the glitzy awards bash next month.
He told Figaro TV: "I'm waiting to find out how many tickets I'm going to get."
Cooper - who took his mother as his date to the Oscars last year, when he was nominated for Best Leading Actor for 'Silver Linings Playbook' - has reunited with David O. Russell for his new movie and says it was his idea to give his character an unsightly perm hairdo.
He explained: "It was my idea. I watched loads of videos of someone who was from the FBI during this period. So I approached David O. Russell about having a curly hairdo and he said yes! Then lots of ideas came from that. He puts rollers in his hair every day to become someone else. So then I had to spend three hours every day in hair and make-up getting my hair curled."

Kim Kardashian says Kanye West is "a hands-on" father.
The couple - who got engaged in October - welcomed their daughter North into the world eight months ago, and while the reality TV star revealed her rapper fiance isn't "a diaper kind of guy", he is a great dad.
She told the Sunday Mirror newspaper's Notebook magazine: "Kanye is a hands-on dad.
"But he's not a diaper kind of guy. And that's okay. But he would if it was an emergency."
While Kim "had medical problems" during her pregnancy, she has found motherhood to be an "amazing" experience and she would love to expand her family.
She said: "[It has been] amazing. But pregnancy was not a good experience for me ... I had medical problems.
"But North is worth it, she changes all the time. One day she'll look like Kanye, the next like me. She is very calm and quiet. I want about six children."
Meanwhile, the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star revealed her daughter has already begun to get an interest in fashion.
She added: "I've been trying bows on her. Penelope, [Kourtney's 18-month-old girl] wears lots of hairbands, and North actually loved them, so I think she'll start wearing them."

Gary Oldman says David Bowie is "planning something".
The two stars are close friends, and the 'RoboCop' actor thinks there's still a chance the reclusive singer could go on tour again following the surprise release of his album 'The Next Day' in January 2013.
He told the Mail on Sunday newspaper's Event magazine: "I was thrilled when he released the new album last year.
"I was on the phone to him and he said, 'I don't know about touring. I have no great desire to get out there again at the moment.'
"And I said, 'But you're writing again?' And he said he was. I think we'll probably see him again. He's planning something."
Gary also revealed despite being "a fan of his music", he still sees the 'Ziggy Stardust' rocker as an ordinary man and a friend rather than a celebrity.
He explained: "Dave is a really nice guy. I see him less as David Bowie and more as Dave from Brixton and I'm Gary from New Cross. I was a fan of his music and I still am. We're just mates."

Miley Cyrus has responded to a fan who asked to take her to his high school prom.
The 'Wrecking Ball' hitmaker took to her Twitter account after Matt Peterson revealed a video of him to see if his hero would accompany him to the formal dance.
While Miley turned down his offer, she did make up for it by inviting him to "hang" out at her Arizona concert.
She tweeted: "Dear Matt Peterson, I don't think I'll be able to make it to prom BUT why don't you come to my AZ show & hang w me? Don't forget a corsage (sic)"
The response came after Matt's video - which featured him wearing very little clothing, a foam finger and a bouquet of roses.
Alongside the affectionate clip, he wrote: "I have been a fan of yours from the beginning.
"You've changed my life, and I want to repay you by giving you the best night of your life."
Although he didn't get exactly what he wanted, the student was delighted with Miley's response and excited for the show.
He tweeted: "I need a tongue tuxedo made by the 27th. THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE!!! #mileyprom [sic]"

Victoria Beckham is a huge fan of 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The fashion star has become obsessed with the show, and professional dancer Kristina Rihanoff was impressed with how much she knew about the ballroom contest.
Kristina told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "I had the pleasure of talking to Victoria and I just found her so lovely. She was asking me a lot about the show.
"She knew so much about how I had done with my partner Ben Cohen. I was a little surprised actually. She knew if he'd had a good week doing ballroom and a bad week the next. Very specific stuff.
"For example, she said she liked his lifts which shows she must really be paying attention!"
It seems Victoria watches the show with her husband David and their children Brooklyn, 14, Romeo, 11, Cruz, eight, and two-year-old Harper, and it has become a big part of their "quality time".
Kristina added: "It was nice to know she is watching with her family. She was very sweet about her family spending quality time together for 'Strictly.' "

Cheryl Cole has been given six weeks to decide on her 'X Factor' future.
The 30-year-old singer is in line for a sensational return to the TV talent show, but the end of her first run brings back bad memories of her divorce from Ashley Cole and her battle against malaria - and so she isn't sure if she'd be happy being back as a judge.
An insider told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "She is in a good place, the best she's ever been.
"She is focused on her music career and doesn't know whether she wants to throw herself back into the spotlight to this degree again."
However, her uncertainty could cost her a big-money return, with Simon Cowell said to be keen to get a quick decision either way, so he can begin the hunt for a replacement if necessary.
The source added: "He doesn't really understand what there is to mull over and just wants it sorted out.
"Contracts will need to be signed in May. If Cheryl is going to pull out they need to have someone else to go after. They are hoping for an answer in the next six weeks."

Max George splits from Nina Agdal.
The Wanted singer is said to have broken up with his girlfriend after he and the model started to want "different things out of the relationship".
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday newspaper, a source revealed: "It was hard for Max to dump Nina so soon after news broke that The Wanted are breaking up.
"But they just wanted different things out of the relationship and had grown slightly apart."
However, despite the breakdown of his relationship and the 'All Time Low' boy band, Max is said to be staying "optimistic" during such a "challenging time".
The insider added: "It's a challenging time for Max as he's going through big changes in his personal and private life.
"But he is being optimistic. He is looking at it all as an opportunity for a fresh start. He's not one to get down in the dumps about things."
Even with Max trying to be upbeat, he spoke last year about how happy he was being in a relationship with someone he considered his "best friend".
He previously said: "I'm very happy now. For the first time I am with a girl who is my best friend.
"She's funny, calm and nice with everyone - the boys, my family. I feel settled."

Taylor Swift started writing music because she was lonely.
The 23-year-old beauty has had several high-profile flings - including One Direction singer Harry Styles - but she insisted rejection when she was younger motivated her to begin creating her own songs.
She told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: "I started writing songs because I wasn't invited to parties and sleep-overs. I wasn't noticed by the guy I like."
However, the 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' hitmaker found solace in her art and she explained she has learned "a lot" of important life lessons from her own music.
She added: "Writing songs has taught me a lot. One of the hardest lessons to learn in life is there's sometimes nothing you can do to make someone like you if they don't. It's okay to let that go."
Taylor is known for putting her personal life on display in her tracks, and she has admitted her openness in that way means she doesn't feel the need to take her clothes off like many of her pop rivals.
She recently explained: "I find it relatively easy to keep my clothes on because I don't really feel like taking them off. It's not an urge I have.
"For me 'risky' is revealing what really happened in my life through music. Risky is writing confessional songs and telling the true story about a person with enough details so everyone knows who that person is.
"That's putting myself out there, maybe even more than taking my shirt off."
