Marion Cotillard My Marion wins at the BAFTAs! BIG upset! Huge upset! Julie Christie was rolling over everyone this season – and it was thought to be a done deal at the BAFTAs too. She is British after all. But it was Marion Cotillard tonight who surprised everyone. On the carpet and on stage. Note the tears in her By Lainey • Feb 09, 2008 07:00 pm
George Clooney Marion at the Luncheon My girl at the Nominees Luncheon yesterday looking perfect, as usual. Love how her belt is falling and those shoes… the shoes! Above all, it’s the poise. That French grace you can’t teach. If George Clooney had any sense and taste, he’d be all over it. Unfortunately, By Lainey • Feb 05, 2008 03:17 am
George Clooney Best Dressed: Marion Cotillard She won’t win the Oscar but she will win Best Dressed. Because my Marion’s dress last night was the standard. Love the no frills accessorising. And the close-scalp hair. And the makeup. And she is apparently even more spectacular in person, as every photographer and publicist I spoke By Lainey • Jan 27, 2008 07:00 pm
Marion Cotillard Fall In Love with My Marion They say Julie Christie can’t lose. And she shouldn’t. But if I had a ballot, as you know, apologies for repeating this for almost a year now, my vote would go to Marion Cotillard. Because her turn at Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose was simply astonishing.

Marion Cotillard Marion’s Double Gold Big weekend for Marion Cotillard. First, the LA Film Critics named her Best Actress, then the Hollywood Foreign Press Association did the same in the Musical/Comedy category making an Oscar nomination a foregone conclusion. Apparently Marion’s win over Ellen Page was considered an upset. Not that Juno wasn’ By Lainey • Jan 14, 2008 01:54 am
Marion Cotillard Polley & Christie Honoured by New York Film Critic Oh Canada! Sarah Polley’s Away From Her was awarded last night at the New York Film Critics Circle last night for Best First Film and her leading lady Julie Christie received the Best Actress honour, positioning her well for an Oscar nomination to be announced 2 weeks from now.

Cate Blanchett Marion Cotillard: Best of 2007 Sorry. I’ve been harping about her for months. But if you’ve seen La Vie en Rose, you know why. And non-English speaking actors are often ignored. Marion Cotillard’s performance as Edith Piaf is nothing short of extraordinary. Even legendary. Some critics have described it as “monumental”, a By Lainey • Dec 14, 2007 08:14 am
Angelina Jolie Angelina vs Marion? Biopic vs Biopic. Will it be Angelina’s Mariane Pearl vs Marion Cotillard’s Edith Piaf come Oscar night? Here’s Marion last night at the Gotham Awards – stunning, stunning, stunning. Love, love, love. Both performances were world class. But at the risk of waking the Brangelunatic beast, Marion’s By Lainey • Nov 27, 2007 07:00 pm
Diane Kruger Screen Love to Real Love If you haven’t already, you must must must see La Vie en Rose. My earlier review can be found here. Marion Cotillard’s portrayal of Edith Piaf is nothing short of genius. And if she doesn’t receive an Oscar nomination, it will be a f&cking travesty. By Lainey • Nov 22, 2007 07:00 pm
Cate Blanchett The New Leader Cate Blanchett’s The Golden Age has not made the impact most predicted. As such, her performance is no longer being regarded as an Oscar favourite. Angelina Jolie’s role in A Mighty Heart is still holding up but the film was released early – back in June – and Academy memories By Lainey • Oct 23, 2007 05:34 am
