AceShowbiz - Oscar winner Marion Cotillard winched in pain as she was honored by the French government on Monday, March 15 after the country's Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand accidentally stabbed her as he pinned a medallion to her blouse.

The French actress, who took home gold for her portrayal of Edith Piaf in "La Vie en Rose", was made an officer in the Order of Arts and Letters in a ceremony in Paris on Monday, alongside director Tim Burton. But Cotillard was left nursing a minor injury as Mitterrand attempted to attach the green and gold accolade to her chest - only to stick the pin into the star's flesh.
