Not very, I wouldn’t think. She seems totally flabbergasted. But ‘this city has some angels in it’ is a hopeful thing to say.

She beat out Julie Christie which is kind of sad. Julie Christie has been slowly building up her return to a film career for the past several years. Not sure if she won anything before but she was great in Doctor Zhivago.

She turns in a strong performance. Interesting story on the singer. Available now for rent or purchase.

Marion Cotillard wins the Oscar for best actress in "La Vie en Rose"! I must see this movie...

Christian Bale and Russell Crowe in "3:10 to Yuma" rocked my world....to steal Marion's phrase.
