Other categories ‘Nine‘ scored nominations in are Best Picture, Best Acting Ensemble, Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Editing, Best Makeup, Best Song (Cinema Italiano) and Best Sound. The Critics’ Choice Movie Awards will be held Friday, January 15, 2010 at 9:00pm PST and will be broadcast live on VH1.

Before looking ahead let’s quickly review where Marion’s been in the last weeks:

November 14-16 she attended public ‘Nine‘ events in New York. Afterwards she did some ‘Nine‘ promotion in Los Angeles before returning to Paris, France. In the first week of December she was in Shanghai with David Lynch to shoot a short movie for Dior (thus missing the London ‘Nine‘ premiere). She returned to Paris, France last week where she started doing ‘Le dernier vol‘ promotion. Most notably on TV last Wednesday and yesterday but of course also behind the scenes. Places she could have gone as well – if she could be in two places at the same time – are the ‘Nine‘ premieres in Dubai and Los Angeles as well as the ‘Public Enemies‘ premiere in Japan. Due to Marion’s and Guillaume’s commitments there will be no ‘Le dernier vol‘ premiere this week in France (source: director Karim Dridi on official Facebook page).

What lies ahead? Marion is travelling to New York now.

December 15, 2009
• ‘Nine‘ premiere in New York, 6pm ET Watch live
• Larry King Live on CNN at 9pm ET (together with Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson, Daniel Day Lewis, Judi Dench, Penelope Cruz, Sophia Loren, Fergie and director Rob Marshall)
• Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on NBC at 12.35/11.35 C
December 16, 2009
• Variety ‘Nine‘ Screening with Q&A, AMC Lincoln Square (NY) at 8.30pm (with director Rob Marshall)

Probably she’ll be heading to Los Angeles for awards season afterwards. Remember, ‘Le dernier vol‘ opens in France on Wednesday (Dec 16) and ‘Nine‘ opens in New York and Los Angeles on Friday (Dec 18).

Marion Cotillard has been nominated a second time already for her performance in ‘Nine‘. This time by the Detroit Film Critics Society and in a different category (this is the only nomination for ‘Nine‘):

6. Best Supporting Actress
Marion Cotillard, Nine
Vera Farmiga, Up in the Air
Anna Kendrick, Up in the Air
Mélanie Laurent, Inglourious Basterds
Mo’Nique, Precious

The 2009 winners will be announced on December 18, 2009. There really is some confusion regarding her placement. As we posted a while back, The Weinstein Company is campaigning her as lead since she has the most screentime of all the ladies and also to give the other actresses a shot at winning supporting awards. However, since ‘Nine‘ is an ensemble Marion’s role is maybe more aptly described as supporting. Let’s see how this’ll turn out. In my opinion, it’s just nice to see that her hard work is being appreciated as it is.

TIME charts the highs and lows of the past year in 50 wide-ranging lists under the title The Top 10 Everything of 2009. Marion Cotillard is featured on the Top 10 Movie Performances List for her performance in ‘Nine‘:

5. Marion Cotillard as Luisa Contini in Nine
The actresses in Nine, Rob Marshall’s musical drama based on Federico Fellini’s 8½, come alive when they sing. Penélope Cruz, Judi Dench, Nicole Kidman, Sophia Loren and (wow) Fergie all lend their solo turns knowing eroticism and high snazz. But Cotillard, as the wife of a desperate filmmaker (Daniel Day-Lewis) is in command of her character whether she’s singing, speaking or just staring darts at her philandering mate. Pain rarely seemed so proud, or hurt so regal, as in Cotillard’s rendition of the ballad “My Husband Makes Movies.” The actress’s showy turn as Edith Piaf in La vie en rose earned her an Oscar. Here, she’s simpler, deeper, better.

The International Press Academy (IPA) announced its nominations for the 14th Annual Satellite Awards a while back and good news is that ‘Nine‘ scored 10 nominations, including one for Marion – Congratulations!

Best Actress (Comedy Or Musical): Sandra Bullock, “The Proposal,” 
Marion Cotillard, “Nine,” 
Zooey Deschanel, “(500) Days of Summer,” 
Katherine Heigl, “The Ugly Truth,” 
Meryl Streep, “Julie & Julia”

The 2009 14th Annual Satellite Awards will take place on Sunday, December 20, 2009 at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles.

Hi everyone, it seems I’m back from my vacation. I’m slowly reading up on everything that has happened in the Marion world so be patient with me. Thank you so much Mariana for keeping the site updated during my absence!
