Way before (film) award season began, I came up with a For Your Consideration campaign for Marion Cotillard, who ended up winning! *woot woot* - the funny thing about the whole thing was that the graphics I made only listed three awards, the Academy Award, the BAFTA and the Golden Globe. Yes, she didn’t actually get the Golden Globe for drama, but she got the one in the Comedy/Musical, to the disbelief of some Ellen Page fans (I’m an Ellen Page fan, but… come on, get real. lol’) - Anyway, I had totally forgotten about the SAG and SHE LOST THAT ONE! Now I’m better prepared.

First week of 2008 is done! Been catching up on many films, and reading news. First things first, Julie Christie seems to be leading the award season, closely followed by Marion Cotillard, and Ellen Page!
The big thing of this season is that Golden Globes will be reduced to just a press conference announcing the winners, meaning that if Marion wins the GG for Best Actress on a Comedy/Musical, she won’t be there to accept the award, and her moment in the spotlight will be shunned by this event.
On other related news, the striking writers seem to be closer to reaching a deal… that would be good for Oscar season… because Oscar is important to Amy. If there’s no Academy Awards this year, it will be the first year in 10 years that she misses the broadcast~~ well, in this case, I wouldn’t miss it because there will be nothing to miss!
I am mostly rubbish at Golden Globes predictions, but I’m pretty sure No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood will be among the winners… Daniel Day Lewis, or Viggo Mortensen, Julie Christie, Marion Cotillard or perhaps Ellen Page? And Could Johnny Depp be there?

Oh, yeah. Amy first saw La Môme, aka La Vie en Rose, back in her trip to Sweden with dear Julyssa. Movie was in French, with Swedish subtitles… Amy speaks neither. LOL’ - so you can imagine. Anyway, that was a sweet little anecdote with the film, but I just got my DVD today, and re-watched it with proper subtitling that I could understood. ^^ xD
Ever since I saw Cotillard in this role, I’ve felt that she’s got Academy Award written all over her face… I mean, come on! She became Piaf!! She, at least! deserves a nomination for Best Actress. Coming award season, she will need a strong campaign so people don’t push her performance to the back of their heads coming the time of nominations… so Amy decides to campaign for her.
The film came out in the first half of the year, and just recently became available on DVD… usually, studios will release heavy awarded films during November and December to stay fresh in the mind of the ones nominating… this is not the case. Most importantly, the film is in French… it’s a powerful performance yes, but apparently languages are a pretty quite no-no for Academy Awards, lol.
I also found this blog with how the race to the Oscar is going… good read. This person mentions Cotillard, and also another fave of mine, Julie Christie for Away from Her.
But to stay on topic, Amy is campaigning for Marion Cotillard. I first saw her,briefly, on the Tim Burton film Big Fish back in early 2000s - Then, I got the amazing chance to see Jeux d’Enfants (aka. Love Me If You Dare) at the cinemas in Vancouver… which is now one of my favorite films, and then she was on The Good Year, starring Russel Crowe. Marion Cotillard does great in this film, she becomes Piaf and gives her audience a powerful wonderful performance.


You can find, use, and help campaigning by posting and using this banners I made. For Your Consideration: Marion Cotillard for Best Actress.
