French actress Marion Cotillard, right, and Forest Whitaker talk backstage after Cotillard accepted the Oscar for Best Actress for her work in "La Vie en Rose" the 80th Academy Awards, Feb. 24, 2008, Los Angeles. Cotillard, who beat out presumed favorite Julie Christie, seemed so excited she could hardly speak in any language, and almost collapsed in presenter Forest Whitaker's arms.
