Sure, but I remember that Awards Season as if it was yesterday. Julie Christie won Globe, SAG, NBR and Critics Choice, she was the absolute front runner to win. I cried when Marion won the Oscar!
Because at the time Julie Christie was the frontrunner, but I think that was mainly due to her being a legend having a comeback performance. She swept the precursors. Ultimately, the right performance won and Julie was happy for her.
I remember that when I saw La Vie en Rose I couldn't believe the excellent performance of Marion Cotillard and told everyone that she deserved the Oscar for best performance. Marion is in my humble opinion the BEST actress in cinema right now.
Earth - it's funny I walked out on that movie halfway because it was just too dark (and I like dark!) but I thought the directing was horrible like just dark dark dark dark dark/no contrast/no lightness for juxtaposition/no letting up at all so I left - but I remember thinking that was the best acting I've ever seen by her.
For me this was one of the best performances I have ever seen by an actress. Up there with Jodie Foster for the silence of the lambs, Charlize Theron for Monster, Susan Sarandon for Dead Man Walking and Hilary Swank for Million Dollar Baby. It was an incredible year for nominees this year but they got it right with the winner.
Hilary Swank: right actress, wrong role. Swank's performance in 'Million Dollar Baby' was good; but not great. She was truly _great_ in 'Boys Don't Cry', for which she won her first Academy award (fully deserved). The actress who _should_ have won the Academy award the year Swank won her second (for the bafflingly overrated 'Million Dollar Baby') was Imelda Staunton, for her utterly compelling performance in 'Vera Drake'.
***** I see. I did misunderstand you, so I apologise for that. But as subjective as these things always are, I wouldn't have Natalie Portman so high on the list. She's a decent actress but I don't think her perfromance in 'Swan' tops Streep's in "The Iron Lady" or Theron's in 'Monster' .
@@VoxDeiUniversity Meryl Streep in Sophie's Choice is a cliche answer. Marion as Edith Piaf was better than that. Charlize Theron in Monster was better than that. Liv Ullman in Face to Face was much better than that.
Best reaction to winning an award ever. Even though her performance towered over those of her fellow nominees, she did not expect to win, and if she hadn't, the BAFTAs would have no credibility. The audience reaction said it all.
Actually Baftas was the only award body among the major award shows to give her Best Actress prior to her Oscar win because Julie Christie was winning everything else so they did a really good job recognising her and pushing her forward chances to win. Of course she also received a Golden Globes for Comedy/Musical but that was a genre category and only Ellen Page was the Oscar Contender amongst the nominees
and she's french ! everyone in France was crazy when she won the Oscar and all these awards. On t'aime Marion , tu mérites vraiment d'avoir gagner tous ses prix , ta prestation était remarquable !
She gave one of the best performances of that decade in Two Days, One Night. It was so realistic. That nomination was a surprise one too. She was amazing in Rust and Bone too. One of the best actresses working.
She is so good that the movies that got her Oscar nominations are in French. I mean it’s not often the role of the nominees speak other languages but English. I got to know so many great French movies because of her.
Marion Cotillard deserved the BAFTA and the Oscar so much as long as her performance was simply mesmerizing .... Elle a présénté le rôle de Mme Piaf avec une générosité absolue .... Bravo Marion en España todo el mundo celebró tus premios
If anyone was alive in the days Edith Piaf was, - and alas we are getting fewer and fewer who remember her so tragic life. That performance was uncanny, - it could have been Edith it was so brilliantly and emotionally acted, - the joy, the pain, the sorrow, the heartbreak, and her tragic end were all their. Marion deserved to win every award going, - it is very hard to play the life of someone who is a 'National Icon' especially when people remember that person and can compare them to your performance.
it will be the only foreign language performance that is universally acclaimed by film critics , film historians and film audience who even are alien to the language and in this case with this performance it's righteous to say Marion Cotillard didn't win the BAFTA , BAFTA wins her
This performance was definitely something, but I have to acknowledge that the scene from Elizabeth that they played was also so stunning! Oh Cate Blanchett! She just upped her game by cheering Marion on at the Oscars! Oh, these two women!
Her performance in the film is simply astonishing. Probably the greatest real character portrayal Ive ever seen. Fortunately I am fluent in French so I can appreciate it fully, but for her to win the BAFTA, I guess the sheer power must come across equally well even with subtitles. Brilliant !
This was shocking at the time because Julie Christie was not only the frontrunner that year but Julie Christie is a BRITISH acting legend and the French actress won and deservingly so! Marion as Edith Piaf and Charlize Theron as Aileen Wuornos my favorite transformative actress performances.
it's great that the movie industry still has some very talented actresses and actors. Marion Cotillard is a great example. one of the best actresses of her generation, in my opinion.
Made me cry her winning that, so I was almost prepared for the Oscars. Look at the quality of her clip compared to the others and the cheers she got. Julie Christie was also great and the solid fave, but everyone knew that if Marion never got this Oscar then they'd never give it to any non-English language performance. Truly historical and ranks up there with Theron in Monster and Winslet in Et. Sunshine, probably the best female performance of the decade and one of the most deserving wins ever.
I thought they all gave outstanding performances. Julianne Moore should have won years ago so her Oscar win was a compensation prize. The Oscars like to play catch up when they overlook great actors like Julianne Moore
This performance was so spot on and awe-inspiring. All award season critics kept saying Julie Christie, Julie Christie, Julie Christie. But I knew people would come to their senses, realize, and award what was truly the best performance.
Marion Cotillard's performance was not acting n 'La Vie en Rose she was living the life of Edith Piaf. It shows her total commiment and dedication to the role that is surely lacking in a lot of moviess currently doing the rounds.
No conocía quien era la extraordinaria interprete de la sublime Edith Piaf!!! Hasta que busque o formarmacion y encontré está jovencita maravillosa e increíblemente talentosisima. Francia le debe está impronta en nuestros corazones luego de ver esta impresionante interpretación a Marion Cotillard de la querida y célebre EDITH PIAF. Graciassss❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am very pleased that the BEST ACTRESS won the BAFTA well deserved for the most moving performance in a fim and she DESERVES AN OSCAR as well...well done!!! Academy for choosing THE BEST..
Cotillard is an actress who (as a unique and gifted woman) pulls on the heart strings with her emotions, as well as having the gift of being a mesmerizing and divine image. For those who think Knightly or Paige or Christe should've won, please watch "La Vie En Rose" if you cannot cry or feel the sorrow and joy through her magnificent voice (Piaf's) and acting (Cotillard) of Edith Piaf's life then something is clearly wrong with you all.
Las cinco estan maravillosas, y creo que fue un año dificil para decidir cual era la mejor, pero Marion Cotillard, es sencillamente perfecta. Que merecido BAFTA, y OSCAR, para la mejor. Todavia no puedo creer como una mujer puede estar en otra persona que nunca vio, ni le hablo, interpretarla tan perfectamente. Eres unica, y no dejo de manifestar mi admiracion y adoracion por EDITH.
I AM SO HAPPY!!!! She is so incredibly deserving. And I love the fact that everyone cheered for her, that's so wonderful. Even Julie Christie, her primary competition, was genuinely ecstatic for her. So gracious was her speech, too. I love how sincere her shock and amazement was. That kind of earnesty is half the reason for her tremendous applause. Ahhhhhhhh, so excited at the possibilities now...^_^!
She probably doesn't see herself as we do........as a goddess!!!!!!!!!!! Her performance kept me locked in my room for an entire weekend, watching and rewatching every scene!!!!!!!!!!
The best performance in many years. He won the Oscar from afar. She played a great (Edith Piaff) and she did it in an excellent way. It's nice to see that kind of performance.
Fantastic Piaf performance!I saw the movie yesterday...Marion was very very wonderful as Edith!Totally deserved it.And the Oscar too!What a speech..:)She so sweet!:)
Sorry but Marion blew away the competition in that category, and that is saying something with the likes of Blanchett. I was mesmerized by Marion. Once in a while a foreign film actress/actor performance transcends English films and demands attention, this was one of those performances.
thank you Marion all peoples in France are proud of you ... and of this movie ... and of "the Big" Edith Piaf of course ^^ And thks BAFTA ^^ Bruno Paris/France
Marion is great and totally deserves all the accolades shes been getting....she embodied Edith Piaf perfectly......btw the guy sitting next to her is her boyfriend Guillaume Canet also an actor and director...beatiful couple!!!!
I'm British and really really pleased that Marion got this award, which is truly deserved and I'm kind of proud that the British Film Academy showed no favouritism to British actresses by awarding this to Marion. And hats off to Keira Knightley as well for saying before the ceremony that she hoped that Marion would get the award!! When watching this on TV it was also obvious that the audience wanted Marion to win too - she got fab applause, even after that crap acceptance speech! ;)
I hope she wins the Oscar too. It is so refreshing to see someone so moved to be presented with such an award. I barely recognised her from 'A Good Year' though. Marion, nous ne regrette rien!
No, the scene that is REALLY Oscar worthy is when the guy comes into the room to play a song for her that he wrote - the famous Je Ne Regrette Rien. The viewer listens and watches and says to themselves, "Blimey, that's her, that's her life. " And lo and behold Marion Cotillard says the same damn thing with such raw emotion and passion. I heard sniffles in the cinema at the part. She so deserves the Oscar.
This was a huge surprise for her because at that time she was not the critics leader and SAG winner (Julie Christie) She was up againt two giant british actresses (Cate Blanchett and Keira Knightley) especially Cate who played the Queen of England herself. And she was in a foreign language film.
According to the New York Times never a person immersed in other person soul and heart as Marion did with Edith Piaf.
Never. Ever.
caravaggio31 she was incredible, it was a wonderful preformamce
Jim Carey
Charlize Theron was amazingly as Aileen on Monster, too.
@@alexvilla43 Marion dar best
hum, I'm pretty immersed with myself, it's getting hard to believe that somebody else does.
how can anyone, including herself be surprised - one of the best acting of all time in that movie
It's bc she's foreign.
Sure, but I remember that Awards Season as if it was yesterday. Julie Christie won Globe, SAG, NBR and Critics Choice, she was the absolute front runner to win. I cried when Marion won the Oscar!
For sure an amazing performance. She made history
Because at the time Julie Christie was the frontrunner, but I think that was mainly due to her being a legend having a comeback performance. She swept the precursors. Ultimately, the right performance won and Julie was happy for her.

Wow, even people extremely talented like Marion Cotillard get nervous when it comes to giving a speech

Her performance in the film is simply astonishing. Probably the greatest real character portrayal Ive ever seen.

perfection! she's pure talent and class...well deserved
marion is incredible
She Made me cry...so humble and genuine...100% deserved award
... she deserved it !!
That Juno scene with the soupy sales comment always cracked me up.

wow, Rosamund Pike by the end, who would thought they could be competing with each other in the same category at the Oscars 7 years later
And they were Orion miles better than Julianne Moore.
I thought they all gave outstanding performances. Julianne Moore should have won years ago so her Oscar win was a compensation prize. The Oscars like to play catch up when they overlook great actors like Julianne Moore
I have seen this movie more than ten times. Narion Cotillard acted very well
Marion is absolutely adorable! Her playing skills are almost perfect (in this movie), so had no surprises that she got BAFTA. :-)
Total respect. Enorme performance dans le film "La Môme". C'est on ne peut plus mérité. Mille bravos.

This made me cry. Whoaa, she so deserves it!!
I love her. belleza pura.
And she wins the Oscar as well. Congrats.
She is so deserved the award, César and Oscar next.

It's so sweet that Guillaume whistles. He seems supportive, I love them together.

My fav bafta moment ever!
Look at her acting as if she didn't give the best performance of all time
She was genuinely shocked because she wasn't the frontrunner
Seriously speechless which is lovely. Let's not forget Edith Piaf though next time.

Marion is incroyable!
AMAZING ACTRESSES !!!!!!!!!!!! She really deserved for it!
She's referring to Audrey Tautou.

You deserve that Oscar MARION you did the best job in La MOME.
Marion's peformance was simply amazing
Why is she so drop dead gorgeous I mean it’s unreal.
she was fantastic as Piaf. She's is definitely one of the best actress nowadays!
Yes they are !!!
