“La Vie En Rose” may have earned 32-year-old French actress Marion Cotillard an Oscar last night.  In that role she wore tons of make-up to portray homely looking singer ‘Edith Piaf’ throughout her life.  In actuality, Cotillard is a real hottie.

But it was her work in “Les jolies choses“ which earned her the respect of the editors of BOPsy.  In the 2001 French film she plays two roles - identical twins.  Scroll down to check out some nude photos of her from that movie….

Diablo Cody, the former stripper turned screenwriter (loved the Jon Stewart joke last night that said she was the only person to make a pay-cut when changing careers) won an Oscar for her smarmy pregnancy comedy “Juno” which starred Ellen Page and was directed by Jason Reitman.

Apparently, after a crazy night of partying, Cody took her Oscar to bed…. (picture courtesy of her MySpace page)

The Nielsen ratings are in and they are reporting that last night’s ceremony, the 80th Annual Oscars broadcast on ABC is the least watched since 1974. That’s when the ratings started being tracked.

As expected, without nominated films like “Lord of the Rings” or “Titanic” there’s very little interest for lame red-state Americans to tune in and as a result last night’s Oscar telecast that featured big wins by films like “No Country for Old Men” pulled in only 32 million American viewers (over 800 million viewers worldwide.)

2003 telecast was the previous all-time low with 33 million viewers (”Chicago” won Best Picture in 2003) and last year’s ceremony had 40 million people watching (”The Departed” from Martin Scorsese won Best Picture last year.)

One of the best moments in last night’s Oscar ceremony was when Best Original Song co-winner 19-year-old Marketa Irglova was brough out by Jon Stewart and allowed to speak after winning for “Falling Slowly” the tune from the $100,000 budget film “Once” which was shot in just 3 weeks in Dublin.

Her song-writing partner Glen Hansard spoke and then Bill Conti’s orchestra music cued her off and the telecast went to commercial. But producer of the Oscars Gil Cates insisted she come abck out and speak and so host Jon Stewart introduced her and allowed her to say:

“This is amazing. Make art. Make art….. The fact that we’re standing here tonight, the fact that we’re able to hold this, it’s just proof that no matter how far out your dreams are, it’s possible,” Irglova said during take two. “And, you know, fair play to those who dare to dream, and don’t give up. This song was written from the perspective of hope, and hope, at the end of the day, connects us all, no matter how different we are.”
