Losing Marion

As I wrote here, I have for some time admired Marion Cotillard's work. I've talked up her films to plenty of people, often wondering why she hadn't 'made it big'.

Well, now she's won a BAFTA, to go with her Golden Globe, and surely Oscar beckons. So I feel like she is about to come to the attention of a bunch of Hollywood studios. And suddenly she won't be this obscure actor whose work I can gush about: she'll belong to everyone, in a superficial, tawdry way.

Of course, it's happened to me before (Paul Giamatti, Daniel Craig, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Radha Mitchell, Clive Owen...), but it hurts every time. At least I've still got Zooey Deschanel. Oh, and Emily Milburn.
