Marion Cotillard was awarded a nomination for Best Actress: Comedy or Musical for her role in the musical "Nine" this morning, which means the actress is in the fast lane for a chance to win her second Oscar in three years. When she spoke with MTV while promoting "Nine," she shared what her biggest fears when going into the film were.
"At the beginning of the process, it would be Daniel [Day-Lewis], dancing half-naked and singing," Marion said. "I was very intimidated by Daniel, and then you get to know him and to work with him and when you start working and the working process ... I mean, the admiration grows, if it can grow, because it was already so big."
In the movie, she plays the wife of Daniel's character, the Italian director Guido Contini. However, being the wife means little to nothing, as he is having relationships with just about all of the female character in the film.
After the filming of the movie, Marion told MTV her fears had switched. "At the end, I would say dancing half-naked, singing and Daniel," she said, adding that it's not necessarily because she was less in awe of her co-star. "But then you're always alone when you're facing all those people and you're half-naked and you're singing. And it's only your voice."
Apparently her voices served her well, as did Daniel's, seeing as they both earned Golden Globe nominations for their roles in the film.
