Silent film The Artist has won six awards including best picture, best actress and best director at France’s answer to the Academy Awards. Just two days before the Oscars, co-star Bérénice Bejo and director Michel Hazanavicius took top honors at the Cesar awards on Friday. Best actor honors went to Omar Sy, star of the blockbuster feel-good movie Intouchables (Untouchable). He notably beat The Artist star Jean Dujardin who won the category at Cannes, the Golden Globes and Britain’s BAFTAs — and is among the best-actor nominees at the Oscars.
