Audrey Tautou has laughed off talk that she could receive an Oscar for her role as Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel.
The French actress has taken on the part of the iconic fashion designer in her new movie Coco Before Chanel, and her performance in the movie is already surrounded in Oscar whispers.
But speaking to BBC Radio 1 Tautou didn't seem interested in the hype saying: "That's so funny. The movie hasn't been released anywhere before except in France.
"I'm more concerned about the audience and whether they'll like this movie. I think it's very clever and I really like it."
Tautou shot to fame in Amelie and has since mixed her French speaking roles with more mainstream movies with the release of The Da Vinci Code, Priceless and A Very Long Engagement.
However the Academy is partial to a biopic role picking up the Oscar with the likes of Sean Penn, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Reese Witherspoon and Marion Cotillard all winning for their roles as Harvey Milk, Truman Capote, June Carter and Edith Piaf.
