Cannes: 'Blue Valentine' slays the Riviera
I’ve just come out of a screening of Blue Valentine, starring Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams, and I am now completely gutted. I had heard from colleagues who saw it at Sundance that it was intense, but nothing really could have prepared me for this utterly devastating, completely believable marriage drama. It’s been a while since I saw an on-screen couple as convincing as Gosling and Williams, and if there’s any justice, they’ll both earn their second Oscar nominations for their raw, arresting performances. (Gosling scored a Best Actor nod for Half Nelson, while Williams was recognized in the supporting actress race for Brokeback Mountain.) The film, which I hear has been re-edited since Sundance, will definitely get hit from some quarters as being “too depressing” (there’s no semi-uplifting Precious-style ending here) but I hope that critics, moviegoers, and Oscar voters will deem truth a more important criterion than sunniness. If the seemingly impassioned response from the crowd at today’s Cannes screening is any indication, the new cut was a success.
Cannes 2010: The Euros love 'Blue Valentine' like Nutella;[...] These are serious actors in seriously meaty roles, and there's every reason to think the academy will continue in the footsteps of both Sundance and Cannes audiences in embracing them. If not, it would be the snub of the century.
Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams couldn't suppress their smiles this morning during a press conference for Blue Valentine during the Cannes Film Festival.
great style & love her hair like that!
After getting touchy-feely in Cannes, Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling created buzz that they could be more than just costars, prompting this response from Gosling's rep: "He is cozy with everyone!"
Now Williams's camp is setting the record straight. "They are not dating," her rep tells PEOPLE.

Michelle was one of the (few)best dressed at Cannes. Loved every single look
Does anyone know who her stylist is?

, she has gone on to style celebrities like Michelle Williams, Natalie Portman and more.
For a perfect example of her styling sensibilities, she dressed Michelle Williams in that Oscars dress – the gorgeous, marigold Vera Wang Dress, paired with the red lipstick and antique necklace. A dress that will go down in Oscars history.
Another favourite: the first picture above. I love the long, grey sweater over what appears to be a frilly, white dress. I always admire people who can pair a simple piece with something different, such as a vintage dress, and create a look that is totally modern and hip.
