Nominee Spotlight: Marion Cotillard
Cotillard was thrust into theatre right from childhood, cast in one of her father's plays. Her cinematic career began in the mid-90s. Initially plagued by disastrous cinematic decisions, things blossomed for her when director Luc Besson hailed her for his cabride.
