Saw her on 60 Minutes last night. They showed the clip of her winning. She seems shocked. Was she just being humble or was her win a big surprise? Who was predicted to win? Judy Garland?

I think her costar was more of a surprise than she was.

She was the first (and last) latina woman to win an acting Oscar so I think she was genuinely shocked.
