Reading the LA Times this morning, we were amused to see the ad at left:
"For Your Consideration: Marion Cotillard."
It's not that the French actress doesn't deserve an Oscar for being Edith Piaf - in fact, she's given the best performance in anything we've seen all year.
It's just funny because the ad was placed in the style section, as though if all the actors and directors in the Academy don't vote for Marion, at least all the costume designers and art directors will vote for the chicest chick.
Meanwhile, we wonder if Chanel is already pulling or making haute couture choices for their maid Marion, since there's no way she'll wear another designer on the carpet.

She was great in that movie. Her performance was amazing and so moving, you really believed that she WAS Piaf. I hope that she gets nominated. She deserves to win. She's talented and also gorgeous. It will be interesting to see what designer she wears. What about Lanvin? I saw some of the spring 08 at Barneys. I was speechless, the stuff is so gorgeous. And she would be gorgeous in it.
