THEY are Australia's golden duo, Cate Blanchett and Catherine Martin, who collected Oscars at Hollywood's biggest night and in the process etched their names in the record books.
Martin became the most prolific Australian winner at the Academy Awards, surpassing the trailblazing costume designer Orry George Kelly who claimed three Oscars in the 1950s and '60s for An American in Paris, Cole Porter's Les Girls and Some Like it Hot.
Martin left Hollywood's Dolby Theatre on Sunday with two statuettes in her hands, costume design and production design, for The Great Gatsby.
She won two in 2002 for costume design and art direction for another film directed by husband, Baz Luhrmann.
"I am speechless," said Martin, when asked about eclipsing her idol, who was known in Hollywood as Orry-Kelly.
"I don't know how I feel about it, other than very happy."
Martin's The Great Gatsby set decorator, Beverley Dunn, shared the production design Oscar.
Blanchett put an exclamation point at the tail end of the ceremony for Australia when, as expected, she won the best actress Oscar for her performance as an imploding, martini-chugging, pill-popping New York socialite in Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine.
"There is so much talent in Australia," Blanchett said.
"CM and I are just the tip of the iceberg."
Blanchett's win was also an historic moment in Australian film.
Blanchett became the first Australian actor to win more than one Oscar, setting herself apart from single winners Nicole Kidman, Geoffrey Rush, Russell Crowe, Peter Finch and Heath Ledger.
Blanchett won a supporting actress trophy in 2005 for her portrayal of screen great Katharine Hepburn in the Howard Hughes biopic The Aviator.
The 86th Academy Awards, hosted by Ellen DeGeneres, was billed as a battle between 12 Years a Slave, Gravity and American Hustle.
In the end Gravity collected the most Oscars, seven mostly for technical awards, while 12 Years A Slave took the grandest, best picture, as well as adapted screenplay and supporting actress for newcomer Lupita Nyong'o.
Dallas Buyers Club duo, Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto, won the best actor and supporting actor awards respectively.
The big disappointment was American Hustle, with 10 nominations but not a single win.
