The winners are not up in the site, so I’ll be checking to verify the information. I know that Helen Mirren deserves the award as she is The Queen, but Marion Cotillard was more than outstanding as she became Edith Piaf! Still have to see the Black Book and Cristian Mungiu’s film, but this category was so difficult as is full of very good performances.
