Funny you mention Binoche because she and Moore are the only actresses who have won the Best Actress "triple crown" (Cannes, Berlin & Venice). I honestly thought they'd finally give it to Marion Cotillard (or Anne Dorval) after being the favourite three years in a row! Maybe she's going to have to wait like Binoche did.
It's a shame she couldn't be there - it would've been a lovely moment. I suppose she didn't want to wait around not knowing if she was going to win or not.
Oh, and fashion-wise she had an amazing run.
