Posted by allsteim on February 23, 2008
France’s film industry gave its coveted Cesar award for best actress to Oscar hopeful Marion Cotillard on Friday for her portrayal of French songstress Edith Piaf.
The award could be the start of a winning streak for Cotillard, who is nominated in the best actress category for Sunday’s Academy Awards for her performance in “La Vie en Rose.”
Cotillard was a favorite in the annual Cesar competition, comparable to the Oscars, after critics agreed that she captured the soul of France’s queen of song in the film.
