Cotillard's Surprise Win at BAFTAs

(andPOP) - The results of Sunday's BAFTA awards may have changed the Oscar race for Best Actress.

Marion Cotillard took home the prestigious award for Lead Actress. Until now, Julie Christie has been sweeping up that award for her performance in "Away From Her."

Cotillard's performance as Edith Piaf in "La Vie En Rose" has earned her quite a lot of admirers, if not many statuettes. Canadian Ryan Gosling gushed to Variety in December that, "Not only did she craft a flawless impersonation of a famous personality, but Marion's humanity elevated her performance to a devastatingly honest and yet seemingly effortless personification of integrity and grace.

"To me, this is more than just a great performance; it's a document of this actress's overwhelming ability to love."

The BAFTAs had some predictable results, however, with Daniel Day-Lewis and Javier Bardem now almost guaranteed some Oscar gold.

The award show also honoured Shia LeBeouf as a Rising Star.
