Those Academy Awards

Quick, about the Academy Awards. No surprise about Day Lewis' win. This is a hallmark actor, a man who knows his skill set and is willing to push himself beyond limits to perform better in each role.
No surprise, either, that the Cohen brothers got so many wins for "No Country."
But, what did catch me by surprise was the Best Actress win by Marion Cotillard. That was the upset of the night, in my opinion. I didn't necessarily think Ellen Page would win for "Juno," but I did think perhaps Cate Blanchett might get it or even Laura Linney.
Those of you who have seen "Big Fish" would have seen Marion Cotillard in that Tim Burton movie.
