The Weinstein Company
The unofficial theme of the 2012 awards season could be "Vive la France," with the French-helmed "The Artist" picking up dozens of awards and going into Oscar night with 10 nominations, second only to 11 nods for "Hugo."
The movie has picked up wins for director Michel Hazanavicius and leading man Jean Dujardin at the BAFTAs, Critics Choice, Directors Guild and Screen Actors Guild Awards, as well as a multitude of trophies for the film, its score, art direction, editing and costumes.

Hot off her success in the sleeper hit "The Artist," Bérénice Bejo has landed a coveted role in "The Scapegoat," Nicolas Bary's upcoming adaptation of Daniel Pennac's best-selling French novel, "Au Bonheur des Ogres." The brunette beauty will star alongside Raphaël Personnaz and Emir Kusturica, Indie Wire reports.
Bejo will play an investigative journalist who also happens to be the girlfriend of the story's protagonist, Benjamin Malaussène (Personnaz), a "professional scapegoat" who works as a quality controller in a Paris department store, taking the blame for customer complaints.

The Weinstein Company
One of the most talked-about movies of the year is one in which there’s no talking at all.
The little French silent film "The Artist" has been building fans (and Oscar buzz) since its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this year.
