Costa's Best Actress

Did you recognize French actress Marion Cotillard when she won the Best Actress Oscar on Sunday night? I'll admit, neither did I. But we should have, and not because we should have seen what by all accounts was a fabulous performance.

You can be sure Costa recognized her on Sunday, as they had pinpointed her talent and charm way back in May, 2007, when she became the Godmother of Costa Serena when she was christened in Cotillard's home country of France.

Have to admit, those Italian cruise lines have an eye for beauty and talent. While MSC has Sophia Loren, watch out now for Costa and their actress selections!

So, now for the really big questions: will La Vie en Rose be screened on Costa ships? Instead of going to Disneyworld, did Mademoiselle Cotillard head to "her" ship? And did passengers watching the Awards on Costa Serena get free champagne to celebrate her win?
