PADAM, PADAM...
The following video just came to my attention—I find to be very cute and poignant, especially in light of how things eventually turned out. Recorded on January 23, 2008, it candidly captures French actress Marion Cotillard as she nervously awaits, quietly watches, and then excitedly celebrates her Best Actress Oscar nomination for La Vie En Rose. This moment started the road to her historic Oscar win last night, and quite possibly to a long and magnificent career. Congratulations to Marion, her publicists Bryna Rifkin and Mara Buxbaum, and the entire Picturehouse team that worked tirelessly to arrive at this unlikely but obviously well-deserved outcome.
