Césarian Cut: The Hollywood spin-off awarded accolades last night to a few excellent movies, amongst them "Inside Job" (Best Documentary), "In a Better World" (Best Foreign Language Film, Denmark), "The Social Network" (Best Original Music Score) and 4 awards for "Inception." Rightfully, run-away favourite "The King's Speech" lost in 8 of its 12 nominations.
Unlike the gender-neutral Oscars, the Césars represent the film industry's most prestigious awards, and they were handed out on Friday (Emily and I watched it time-delayed on Saturday afternoon).
Congratulations to Roman Polanski for Best Director for "Ghostwriter" and to Xavier Beauvois' sombre film "Of God and Men" which won the Best Movie award. This film depicts the unsolved murder of 7 French monks in Algeria in 1996, when they disappeared and only their severed heads were found later.
