Oscar Matters - Marion Cotillard's 9/11 Thoughts

An Open Letter to Marion Cotillard

Dear Marion -

Now that you have an Oscar, your in-depth analysis of the geo-political and economic reasons why the 9/11 attacks were faked are now going to make news. As someone who wants to see your slender body of work fattened up over time I have one request; stick to what you know. You are an actress, heck the best actress of 2008, so when you give interviews talk about your expertise. Your advice on craft could help untold numbers of aspiring actresses achieve their dreams. Your insight into on set politics could save productions time and money. You have real life experience in acting that others could benefit from, so I'm begging you, talk about that in your next encounter with the press.

You are not Rosie O’Donnell. Rosie can say and do whatever she wants because she made us fall in love with her before she told us she was a crazy person. She's like our crazy Aunt who we will always invite over for Thanksgiving and always send home early in a taxi because we are stuck with her. But we barely know you. Your first impression was good and we invited you to the ball. But now you've insulted us and maybe it's because you're French and think you don't need us, but honey, the real truth is we don't need you. I'm all for free speech and holding the government to account, but Hollywood isn't afraid to blackball people to protect its financial interests. For your own good, make us fall in love with you through your work before you poke us in the eye.

At the Oscars your dress was gorgeous and your French accent was super sexy and I want to see you around for years to come. Don't pull a Tom Cruise and torpedo your career.

Your acquaintance,

Aaron
