    OMG!! When Forest Whitaker call Marion’s name he never looks so handsome:):)
    I have been waiting for that moment for her. I was jumping, screamming like I won million dollars. Millions congrats to Marion.
    I didn’t know who you are before La vi en rose, but I became biggest fan of you.
    You are so beautiful w/ white dress, and your speech was very lovely. I wish you more oscars in the future.
