Yes!!! I was pulling for her AND I predicted her!!!
ReplyDeleteGood! I was hoping it wouldn't be Julie Christie for that snoozefest of a movie that was Away From Her! Go Marion!
ReplyDeleteso so so happy....
ReplyDeleteEllen Page would have been the crowd-pleaser, but Marion Cotillard gave one of the most transformative performances of the year. Very deserving. Beautiful film, beautiful actress. Very humble. One of the best reactions of the night (tied with Swinton's facial expression when she pulled the upset). tres cool.
ReplyDeleteYES!!!!!!!!!!! Cotillard won just as I had hoped! she earned it and was so happy the academy reconized the best performance of the year!!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't predict Marion but she gave my favorite (and by far the best) performance of the year and I'm so glad AMPAS got it right.
ReplyDeleteIt's about time they recognize a performance than a name. I mean, Reese Witherspoon?? Come on!
ReplyDeleteI seriously cannot believe you didn't see that coming igloo! For some reason she felt like a sure thing to me for over a month at least.
ReplyDeleteI had only seen Dench and Huffman before the other day when Walk The Line was on. After seeing Reese I'm not that bitter, she was great. Huffman great....maybe not, a rewatch is due.
