Well, it continues the tradition of dumb-ass selections in this category the last 10 years.

I agree Julie Christie was robbed, but I'm glad for Marion Cotillard, who certainly didn't see it coming. I guess impersonations really have the upper hand in the acting categories.

Wow, just so intriguing that the actor races completely held up all season and the actress races were flipped on their heads at the end...

Julie looked genuinely elated that Marion won (or she didn't win)

BTW: Everyone should be prepared for a big cut to Benigni's win. I saw it coming when Cuba Gooding Jr was highlighted in his reel.

Cotillard's so happy, and seems so genuine, that it's hard to get annoyed. But I'll try anyway.

I'm ecstatic, actually! Wonderful, wonderful moment.

I'm disappointed for Christie, but I think Cotillard gave a spectacular performance.

But, I'm ready for the shit storm...

All I can say, thank you God that Christie didn't win.

Showiest role triumphs. Second Oscar Best Actress winner in a non-English speaking role.

Sorry, still very tempted to think along the line of split-vote.
