Huppert, now 63 is one of French cinema's most decorated actors: 15 times nominated for a Cesar (French Oscars), twice best actress at Cannes; Lion D'or at Venice. She studied Russian and has played in Russian, English and Italian as well as French. There was also an exhibition of portraits of her by many leading photographers in New York in 2005. She starred in the Oscar winning film "Amour" in 2012.
The Golden Globes are voted for by the international industry press, but will the Hollywood based Academy choose a foreign language performance for an Oscar?
