Congratulations to the beautiful Marion Cotillard, who took home the Academy Award for Best Actress last night for her portrayal of Edith Piaf in "La Vie En Rose." You know she deserved it too, because red-blooded Americans would usually never even watch a biopic about some old French lady -- let alone give an award to someone for being in it -- unless maybe the actress playing that old French lady was actually a much younger French babe, which Marion clearly is. Now that she's an Oscar Winner™ we're naturally more interested in her earlier work, and specifically her roles that were required a bit more, um ... nudity. (Again, she's French, so you know there's a lot of them.) Savvy internet hounds are on the case, of course, and have already tracked down some of her previous career highlights. Check out a sampling after the jump, along with her sweet acceptance speech from the ceremony.
