What they Said
This was the first nomination and win for Marion Cotillard. She could barely speak she was so happy. She was somewhat the underdog here. I was rooting for Ellen Page, who looked the classic beauty, but seeing Marion Cotillard changed my mind. She thanked everyone from life and love to everything in between. It was a touching win and I am sure she will enjoy the benefits that come to her from the win.

Ashtyn is definitely the casual gamer in the family. A game fan since she owned an Atari, Ashtyn can remember when her brother rigged the television so he wouldn't lose his Super Mario Bros. game. That is, until the power went out! A fan of all things Mario, Ashtyn is a Nintendo loyalist. She digs playing Mario-style RPG games, watching others play violent shooters (because she sucks at them), and playing casual PC games (like Wedding Dash and Cake Mania). As of now, she is into the Wii and Nintendo DS, though she's certain the games for PS3 and Xbox 360 are more appealing.
