Marion Cotillard won the award for best actress:“It has been the most incredible adventure. I loved every single second of the shooting. I love you so much for doing this to me. “

Javier Bardem for best supporting actor: “It's a great honour for me to be recognised in a land where there's this huge long tradition of great performers. It's a great honour for a European performer to be here tonight on this stage. I also want to thank mum and dad. Not mine - Joel and Ethan Coen's.”

Here is a photo of the two winners.
Sir Anthony Hopkins said about the event:“It sure beats working! Sometimes when we're sitting in a trailer at 3am and I'm eating a lukewarm pizza waiting for the last shot, my wife says to me: 'Do you really think it's worth it at this time in your life?' And I say, 'Yeah.' It always has been worth it, and I guess it always will be until I stop.”
