LOS ANGELES (AP) - Marion Cotillard did more than become a new Academy Awards darling on Sunday. She also denied a long-established one.
With a phenomenal performance as singer Edith Piaf in "La Vie En Rose," Cotillard pulled an upset win for best actress over Julie Christie, who had been the favorite to claim a second Oscar 42 years after she won for "Darling."
"Wow. Well, I'm speechless now," a tearful Cotillard said, her French-accented voice quivering as she accepted the award. "It is true ... angels in this city. Thank you so, so much."
