Kirsten thought her chances of winning at Cannes were slim after her director Lars Von Trier was made persona non grata by the festival's board after telling a press conference he understood Hitler and that he 'was a Nazi'. As you can imagine the film world was far from impressed.
Kirsten told the Mail Online that she kept thinking, 'Lars, shut up'.
She added: 'He's a great film-maker who, sometimes I feel should let his films speak for themselves.'
It is a fantastic win for Kirsten and will help her make a shift from main stream Hollywood films to more independent movies.
The big award of the night, the Palme d'Or, went to Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life which starred Brad Pitt and Sean Penn.
