Unaware of the thoughts swirling in Gwyneth's head, Adrian, who was busy flirting with Liv from time to time, wouldn't have cared even if he knew. She was a woman very good at managing her own career. While Blanchett, Monica, and Julia had each ascended to the throne of Best Actress, and even Nicole had snagged Best Supporting Actress, he himself had nothing but nominations to show for his efforts. It was only natural to experience some ups and downs now and then.
In this regard, Adrian's suppression of her was absolutely correct. He had nearly figured out her mindset, so there was no chance she could escape his grasp. In fact, Gwyneth herself was aware of this; otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to Blanchett to voice her grievances. When Adrian was away, she and Blanchett were as close as could be, and in a sense, Gwyneth seemed to be expressing her own dissatisfaction through Blanchett.
