JGL: As she said, I’m here tonight to present the Hollywood Actress Award to Marion Cotillard. I adore this woman. She’s a dear friend, so I figured rather than say a few words about her, I would say a few words to her.
JGL: Miss Cotillard. You’re one of the most extraordinary actresses in the world. You were brilliant in your Oscar-winning role in “La Vie en Rose”. It’s not surprising that you’ve worked with some of the great directors: Woody Allen, Steven Soderbergh, Michael Mann, and of course, Christopher Nolan. Your performance in “De Rouille et D’os”, in English, “Rust and Bone”, is probably your best. Marion Cotillard!
Marion: *strong French accent* Thank you very much, Joe. For these beautiful words. [x]
Interviewer: But [Tom Hardy]’s huge! He’s so massive. Was he just on set eating the whole time? How did he keep up that bulk? [x]
