Marion Cotillard Wins Best Lead Actress Oscar

Marion Cotillard Wins Best Lead Actress Oscar
An Oscar statuette is the most coveted prize in acting. So it comes as little surprise that Marion Cotillard was nearly ecstatic after picking up Best Actress in a Leading Role for her work in La Vie En Rose.

The 32-year-old Frenchwomen broke down in tears when her name was announced - having a tough time gaining her composure as she took the podium.


Handed the award by past Oscar winner Forest Whitaker, Marion attempted to say: “Thank you life! Thank you love! It is true there are some angels in this city. Thank you! Thank you so much!”

The win at the Academy Awards follows trophies collected by Marion at the Golden Globes and the British BAFTAs.
