...in person, re-watch this clip from "La Vie en Rose". Now knowing how Mademoiselle Cotillard speaks and acts, her acting as Piaf in this scene seems even better (in an already spectacularly acted scene). I thought this would be appropriate seeing as the love for Marion Cotillard going on on the site (and the internet) right now.

I Love Marion
She actually has a nice voice.
Also, I LOVE Cate's reaction when she wins:
She may not have won my award, but seriously...she was excellent in La Vie en Rose. And she was so grateful and enthusiastic when she won. What an amazing woman.

A Look at Best Actress
The nominees are...
Cate Blanchett - Elizabeth: The Golden Age
Julie Christie - Away From Her
Marion Cotillard - La Vie en Rose
Laura Linney - The Savages
Ellen Page - Juno
I'VE SEEN: 4/5. Very subjected to change, as I may be seeing The Savages this weekend.
I PREDICTED: 4/5. Like most, I predicted Angelina Jolie would get in over Laura Linney.
BLANCHETT-A not-all-that-acclaimed performance in a mediocre film. Besides, she'll win for her average performance in I'm Not There instead.
CHRISTIE-See, logic tells me to go with her, and I think there's a very good chance they will. However, there's something about predicting her that goes against my morals. I always need to make one surprise prediction in one of the last 4 categories to keep me on my toes all night, so I'm kind of steering away from Christie.
COTILLARD-After her "surprise" BAFTA victory, she's being predicted as an 11th hour upset. I'm probably going to go with that. I can really see this happening (and it couldn't be for a better performance).
LINNEY-She's gotten some buzz, and I do think it's interesting, but I believe (and hope) that she'll have a Helen Mirren year and win every precursor leading up to the Oscar. She deserves better than this. However, she looks unbelievable in her clips.
PAGE-I can REALLY see this happening, but I kind of hope it doesn't. Don't get me wrong; Page gave one of the three best performances of the year (with Day-Lewis and Cotillard); but I hope that in maybe 10 years she'll give a knock-out performance that will win her an Oscar. This is a star-making performance, but I would be a bit disappointed to see her win an Oscar--simply because it would make it more difficult to win one later on.
WILL WIN: Marion Cotillard - La Vie en Rose...for now
SHOULD WIN: Marion Cotillard - La Vie en Rose
IN ORDER OF LIKELINESS:
1. Marion Cotillard - La Vie en Rose
2. Julie Christie - Away From Her
3. Ellen Page - Juno
4. Laura Linney - The Savages
5. Cate Blanchett - Elizabeth: The Golden Age
TOMORROW: Best Actor
My god, I cannot wait for Sunday.

A Look at Best Makeup
The nominees are...
La Vie en Rose
Norbit
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
I'VE SEEN: 2/3: La Vie en Rose and (sadly) Norbit. I had absolutely no desire to see Pirates.
I PREDICTED: 1/3. I knew Norbit had a chance, but I refused to believe that the Academy would nominate the worst reviewed film of the year. Pirates was a moderate surprise for me. I predicted 300 & Sweeney Todd instead.
LA VIE EN ROSE-Very weak year for makeup considering that this is the undisputed frontrunner. Granted the age makeup in the film is extremely impressive, it seems more like a nomination-worthy effort rather than what it's become.
NORBIT-Quite frankly...the makeup in the film was really good. That said, I sincerely hope and doubt that the Academy will honor the film here. If so, then I think there is a very good chance that Oscar fans will be just about ready to kill themselves. I know I will.
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD'S END-I'm sure the makeup here is good (they did spend $300 million making the movie), but lack of other technical nods sincerely hurts its chances here. I would say that it could win just to honor the film itself, but is this film really worthy of any honor at all? Reviews seem to indicate no.
WILL WIN: La Vie en Rose
SHOULD WIN: La Vie en Rose
IN ORDER OF LIKELINESS:
1. La Vie en Rose
2. Norbit
3. Pirates of the Caribbean
TOMORROW: Best Visual Effects
