If a comedian was nominated and lost, he should appear to be pissed when he learns it. Kind of like the Rowan Atkinson sketch "soar loser" or something. That would be a great comedy moment for the oscars! Has anyone done that before?
Im so glad this performance won over Julie Christies woeful performance which I have just recently seen. Im just really glad academy members (for once) saw past the manipulative disability/illness = good acting, I thought Chrisite was actually really camp and goofy.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I won't say who's the best or who derserve the more to get this award specially since I've just seen the movies with Page, Cotillard and Blanchet. I thought the acting of Cotillard was very moving though.
But one thing i'm about to be sure is that someone named 155Gerard must have a serious beef with cotillard. Hahaaha!!
Don't hate too much 155G because it's just highliting something bitter in you. Love those actresses.
J'aime la réaction de Cate Blanchett vraiment très très contente pour Marion visiblement . Heureusement qu'on a Marion pour mettre en avant la France aux Oscars qu'est ce qu'elle esr classe :)
@HabituallyObsessed You know your stuff, right on, the critics did not care for Cotillard's movie at all and were so so on her hammy performance. Clearly Julie Chritiste, who won ALL the major critics awards, plus Golden(Drama) and SAG, was a victim of Cotillard's final month aggressive ad campaign and the poor memory of the voters. That french b movie was out in fall 2007, while the wonderful SarahPolley film"AwayfromHer"starring Julie Christie was in the cinemas in spring 2007.
@meedina I agree, as did/do all the Film critics, with the last part of your thougt/sentence, yes "Julie Christie should have won for 'Away From Her' ". You obviously have good taste and can recognize a sublime, subtle, understated performance which was Ms.Chrisite's stellar performance in the lovingly sensitive film "Away From Her". If anyone hasn't seen it, do yourself and view it, you will LEARN something about Love AND Sacrifice!!!!!!!
@AlexDeLarge90 Or perhaps a tad stupid like you,Tilda Swinton isn'tfrom England,she's from Scotland& the words European&English are meant to be capitalized, not written as "european"& "english". Also, check your grammar,instead of "as was countless of other actors" the correct phrasing is "as were countless other actors".Also,check your geography,the nation that England is a part of is The United Kingdom which isn't "in" Europe per say on the continent but is part "of" the continent of Europe.

@SaxLive "the film was not perfect" this is the UNDERstatement of the year, perhaps that is why she overacted in such a hammy way to compensate for the film's disjointedness and overall b quality weakness.
Well, whether she aggressively campaigned or not, I would hardly call her performance "hammy" or "over the top". I thought she did a lovely job of embodying Edith Piaf. Even Laura Linney stated that what she did in that movie was on a different level from what the rest of them in the category had done. While I was, indeed rooting for Julie Christie, I have no qualms at all about Cotillard winning. She was deserving also.
@thatsme1945 Most serious actors (ie JulieChristie, RobertdeNiro, the late PaulNewman and late Marlon Brando, JoanneWoodward,LivUllman, AnthonyHopkins, SusanSarandon, VanessaRedgrave, DustinHoffman, AnjelicaHuston, EmmaThompson) would rather win a SAG or a NewYork Film Critics award as they are more genuine and less political and less $market influenced as the Oscars have become.

@happenstance06 You are INcorrect, Christie won the SAG, all of the critics awards and the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama (Cotillard got a golden globe for comedy/musical)
Well-deserved win. Wonderful performance. Christie was the favorite for her overrated Away From Her performance. I love nuance but that movie was just plain weepy and dull. La vie en Rose was a marvelous film and Cotillard was magnificent.
@terradusa4219 Wrong, the critics adored JulieChristie's performance, the less sophisticated viewers such as yourself were impressed by the over the top hamminess of Cotillard's role and performance, plus it is common knowledge that Cotillard campaigned desperately for votes, tres tacky. Try to get out to the cinema more and see some smaller independent films, perhaps this will expand your horizons.
@happenstance06 You are INcorrect, Julie Christie won the Screen Actors Guild SAG award, all of the Critics awards and the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama, all of these awards were that year in Jan.2008, look it up.
@kitvancleavephd WRONG, you're Hilarious, "people in the business.." Duh... yeah like the Screen Actors Guild SAG Union of working actors who gave their award to Julie Christie in "Away from Her" who was the choice of as you say "people in the business", thanks for a good laugh.
@ahvrey Good grief, another way hammy performance, that year-actually last year Annette Bening should have won, Bening won the NYFilm Critics Award, and didn't campaing. Portman campaigned and many critics found the over the top hammy acting a turn off.
@sleater84 The truth is she was a soap opera actress in France prior. Yes, she did get a GoldenGlobe for comedy/musical whereas However Julie Christie won ALL the major critics awards won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama, plus SAG award for Best Actress. The songs were part of the performance and she lip sang through much of the role when she wasn't ranting &over acting in this b movie which got no nominations for writing or directing, unlike 'AwayfromHer".
@Messylin Not to mention Hammy and over the top, not a subtle performance at all, and it is much easier to do a bio film like this where one can hide behind the make up and costuming plus all of that dubbing of the fake lip singing was ad nauseum, plus of course it is well known that she campaigned very aggressively for votes and apparently succeeded, tacky b movie, tacky,hammy performance and a stinking ruthless campaign
I consider this win to possibly be one of, if not THE, greatest choice the Academy has ever made, because they went against their usual grain & honored a semi-dark horse nominee who really should have been the frontrunner all season long. This performance was monumental & one of the greatest performances in the history of any entertainment medium. Stunning, to say the least, work that I will treasure for years to come & I hope she becomes a legend for this role & wins another Oscar someday!
@philipc67 Oh please, for one thing you have got to be kidding to compare this french former soap star to the great Vivien Leigh(and by the way she was good in 'Gone with the Wind' but even better in "Streetcar Named Desire" 12 years later; but I give you credit for the good sense to name Leigh and Streep as great actors, but seriously don't lowere Leigh or Streep with this comparison.
@diaspen Noone stood because people resented and knew she had been heavily criticized for campaigning as in vote for moi s'il vous plait, s-00-00ooo came across as manipulative and bought, less than genuine
@LoveMeryl1 Listen to that filthy mouth of yours, wash your mouth out with soap, get your vision and hearing checked if you liked this hammy performance in this b movie bio poorly written trashy film
@kitvancleavephd 'Tis a pity your angercauses ou to trytosay insultingthings.She was ok,but quite hammy, check the facts, Julie Christie &Ellen Pagewerethefavorites withChristiewinningALL the Critics Awards (Page was often 1st runner up), the SAG-this isThe Screen ActorsGuildAward& the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama.In thefinal weeks of voting,Cotillardcampaigned aggressively, Christie&Pagenotatall.I sawthis bio b filmbothinEng&French. I suspectyouknowonlyEnglish
@Vergina1903 Some of the truly Great and critically accaimed performances of actresses over the past four decades or so are: Julie Christie in "Away from Her", Audrey Hepburn "Two for the Road",JulieChristie"TheGoBetween", Gena Rowlands in "A WomanUndertheInfluence", Joanne Woodward "Rachel,Rachel",yes Ellen Bursyn"Requiem.."SissySpaceck "Crimes of the Heart",JoanneWoodward in"Mr.&Mrs.Bridge",JulieChristie "McCabe&Mrs.Miller"TuesdayWeld"PlayitAsItLays",VanessaRedgrave&SanoiseRonan"Attonement"
@liina000 Yes people were shocked that Cotillard's campaigning paid off for her, the onlyofthe 4 candidateswhocampaignedheavily,actually Julie Christiewasreported to have done NO Campaigningas sheclassilychose to not effectvoterschoices, let the membersview&decide,plusshe (Christie)knows the Oscarsareoverrated b.s.& thattrulygreatactors(ie Brando,RobertDeNiro,JoanneWoodward, Liv Ullman, Ingrid Bergman,Deborah Kerr,JackNicholson,DanielDayLewis&J.Christie)respectTheNYFilmCritcsAwardsovertheOscars
@155gerard: Can you just stop acting amateur? You don't even understand her language and you allow yourself to pretend that you know cinema. Let met tell you something (and I am fluent in French), Marion Cotillard was the front runner for this Oscar just as much as Julie Christie. Of course, the two could have won, but saying that Marion was not deserving the award is wrong... She has won no less than 15 major awards before the Oscars, including a Golden Globe Award, a BAFTA Award and a César.
@alarigole You make many assumptions, I do speak french, whereas you aren't fluent in English ie your sentence "let met tell you..." (?). Yes, Cotillard did get a Globe but in comedy/music category. Julie Christe won the Golden Globe for Best Perfromance by a Lead Actress in a Drama. Same award Christie received from the prestigious NewYorkFilmCriticsAwards, National Board of Review, National Society of Film Critics & the Broadcast Critics,& UNlike Cotillard, Christie didn't vote beg/campaign.
So what ? it's not like she did a very bad performance in "la môme" ( or "la vie en rose" ) , she did a very good job and she deserves at least some kind of reward for her role .
And she also won the Bafta for her role , ( and the cesar but it's not that big for the oscars )
With heavy campaign or not, you just need to watch La Vie En Rose to understand the main reason why she won the oscar: she was absolutely flawless. You're talking like she in fact needed the campaign. Her performance, for me, is more than enough.
She deserved it. No doubts, one of the most amazing female performances of all times, i think who criticized her performance don't know who's Edith Piaf. Julie Christie was amazing but Marion was EPIC
@happenstance06 You'reWRONG Several times: Julie Christie won all major critics awards, The NYFilm Critics Best Actress Award, The Broadcast Critics Award, The National Society of Critics& The National Board Review Award,all for Best Actress. The runner up was Ellen Page. Cotillard did not show up even as a runner up in Critic Awards. Julie Christie also won the SAG award the Screen ActorsAward for BestActress and the GoldenGlobeBestActress inaMovieDrama. Cotillard gottheGolden4musicalcomedy.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@155gerard Who the hell do you think you are? Golden Globe Award, BAFTA Award, César Award, Kansas City Film Critics Circle Award, London Film Critics Circle Award, rare reviews, worldwide acclaimed performance. She has won no less than 15 international awards for the performance. If you knew cinema a little more (and acting), you would see that THIS is a performance... Christie was perfect, but the Academy voted for Cottillard... No offense, but you must see the film before criticizing...
@alarigole Listen to your filthy mouth, & your poor thing are such an angry person. It is a real character flaw to make assumptions and you make many assumptions re "you must see the film..", you're too much, I did see this Edith Piaf bio B movie which did not get nominations or awards for writing or directing like "Away from Her" did.
See the thing is dear the critics prefer real acting that is subtle & understated(Christies) vs. hammy(Cotillards).She was pretty ok in soap operas in France.
@alarigole Suggestions: try to cuss (re: "h-ll) makes you sound trashy, take an English language class, don't miss the unit on grammar and try to get out and see more cinema and see some smaller independent films.
@alarigole UNfortunately I did see the "film"(the b movie "La vie en rose") and found it hammy and disjointed and the acting was over the top especially the lead role performance. Not entirely a forgettable film, as I will try to remember to never waste time looking at it if it is on cable.

@renfieldvonklauss Is 2007 the only year you went to the movies in the past decade and are those the only two films you sore, you poor thing, at least 'There Will Be Blood" was well written and well acted, unlike the hammy french bio on EdithPiaf.
@lolaposen It wasn't totally surprising, certainly disappointing, a few weeks before voting ended, Cotillard wa being criticized-rightfully-for her aggressive marketing& ad campain to try to get votes, UNprofessional and tacky. Julie Christie who won All the major Film Critic awards did zero campaigning, as she was/is too dignified to lower herself, plus probably knows the Oscars are bull sh-t and about $, and the Truly great actors of English speaking cinema know theNYFilmCriticsAwardsarebest.
@somethingswicked By "class" you may be referring to how it is commonly known that Cotillard campaigned aggressively -vote for moi s'il vous plait- for the award,
Au contraire, on the other hand, the real class was Julie Christie who did not lower herself to campaign, as she already swept ALL of the critics awards which mean something, not the $ emphasis Oscars.
@santoshgrg You're half right, yes Sally Hawkins wasgreat in 'Happy.." a year later in 2008. In Dec 2007 Julie Christie won the NewYork Film Critics Award(the creme de la creme for film awards) for Best Actress andthe Oscars were a few months later in early 2008, Christie was nominated & should'vewonbut alas thefilmdidn'tmake huge amountsof$and voterswent for theM.Cottilardhammybio performance.

@happenstance06 You are INcorrect, Christie won the SAG, all of the critics awards and the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama (Cotillard got a golden globe for comedy/musical)

Well-deserved win. Wonderful performance. Christie was the favorite for her overrated Away From Her performance. I love nuance but that movie was just plain weepy and dull. La vie en Rose was a marvelous film and Cotillard was magnificent.

@terradusa4219 Wrong, the critics adored JulieChristie's performance, the less sophisticated viewers such as yourself were impressed by the over the top hamminess of Cotillard's role and performance, plus it is common knowledge that Cotillard campaigned desperately for votes, tres tacky. Try to get out to the cinema more and see some smaller independent films, perhaps this will expand your horizons.

@ahvrey Good grief, another way hammy performance, that year-actually last year Annette Bening should have won, Bening won the NYFilm Critics Award, and didn't campaing. Portman campaigned and many critics found the over the top hammy acting a turn off.

@sleater84 The truth is she was a soap opera actress in France prior. Yes, she did get a GoldenGlobe for comedy/musical whereas However Julie Christie won ALL the major critics awards won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama, plus SAG award for Best Actress. The songs were part of the performance and she lip sang through much of the role when she wasn't ranting &over acting in this b movie which got no nominations for writing or directing, unlike 'AwayfromHer".
155gerard 2 months ago
@Messylin Not to mention Hammy and over the top, not a subtle performance at all, and it is much easier to do a bio film like this where one can hide behind the make up and costuming plus all of that dubbing of the fake lip singing was ad nauseum, plus of course it is well known that she campaigned very aggressively for votes and apparently succeeded, tacky b movie, tacky,hammy performance and a stinking ruthless campaign
155gerard 2 months ago
I consider this win to possibly be one of, if not THE, greatest choice the Academy has ever made, because they went against their usual grain & honored a semi-dark horse nominee who really should have been the frontrunner all season long. This performance was monumental & one of the greatest performances in the history of any entertainment medium. Stunning, to say the least, work that I will treasure for years to come & I hope she becomes a legend for this role & wins another Oscar someday!

@155gerard: Can you just stop acting amateur? You don't even understand her language and you allow yourself to pretend that you know cinema. Let met tell you something (and I am fluent in French), Marion Cotillard was the front runner for this Oscar just as much as Julie Christie. Of course, the two could have won, but saying that Marion was not deserving the award is wrong... She has won no less than 15 major awards before the Oscars, including a Golden Globe Award, a BAFTA Award and a César.
alarigole 2 months ago
@alarigole You make many assumptions, I do speak french, whereas you aren't fluent in English ie your sentence "let met tell you..." (?). Yes, Cotillard did get a Globe but in comedy/music category. Julie Christe won the Golden Globe for Best Perfromance by a Lead Actress in a Drama. Same award Christie received from the prestigious NewYorkFilmCriticsAwards, National Board of Review, National Society of Film Critics & the Broadcast Critics,& UNlike Cotillard, Christie didn't vote beg/campaign.

So what ? it's not like she did a very bad performance in "la môme" ( or "la vie en rose" ) , she did a very good job and she deserves at least some kind of reward for her role .
And she also won the Bafta for her role , ( and the cesar but it's not that big for the oscars )

With heavy campaign or not, you just need to watch La Vie En Rose to understand the main reason why she won the oscar: she was absolutely flawless. You're talking like she in fact needed the campaign. Her performance, for me, is more than enough.

She deserved it. No doubts, one of the most amazing female performances of all times, i think who criticized her performance don't know who's Edith Piaf. Julie Christie was amazing but Marion was EPIC

@155gerard Who the hell do you think you are? Golden Globe Award, BAFTA Award, César Award, Kansas City Film Critics Circle Award, London Film Critics Circle Award, rare reviews, worldwide acclaimed performance. She has won no less than 15 international awards for the performance. If you knew cinema a little more (and acting), you would see that THIS is a performance... Christie was perfect, but the Academy voted for Cottillard... No offense, but you must see the film before criticizing...

@alarigole Listen to your filthy mouth, & your poor thing are such an angry person. It is a real character flaw to make assumptions and you make many assumptions re "you must see the film..", you're too much, I did see this Edith Piaf bio B movie which did not get nominations or awards for writing or directing like "Away from Her" did.
See the thing is dear the critics prefer real acting that is subtle & understated(Christies) vs. hammy(Cotillards).She was pretty ok in soap operas in France.

@alarigole UNfortunately I did see the "film"(the b movie "La vie en rose") and found it hammy and disjointed and the acting was over the top especially the lead role performance. Not entirely a forgettable film, as I will try to remember to never waste time looking at it if it is on cable.

@renfieldvonklauss Is 2007 the only year you went to the movies in the past decade and are those the only two films you sore, you poor thing, at least 'There Will Be Blood" was well written and well acted, unlike the hammy french bio on EdithPiaf.

@lolaposen It wasn't totally surprising, certainly disappointing, a few weeks before voting ended, Cotillard wa being criticized-rightfully-for her aggressive marketing& ad campain to try to get votes, UNprofessional and tacky. Julie Christie who won All the major Film Critic awards did zero campaigning, as she was/is too dignified to lower herself, plus probably knows the Oscars are bull sh-t and about $, and the Truly great actors of English speaking cinema know theNYFilmCriticsAwardsarebest.

@somethingswicked By "class" you may be referring to how it is commonly known that Cotillard campaigned aggressively -vote for moi s'il vous plait- for the award,
Au contraire, on the other hand, the real class was Julie Christie who did not lower herself to campaign, as she already swept ALL of the critics awards which mean something, not the $ emphasis Oscars.
