TIMBUKTU WINS SEVEN CESAR AWARDS


Abderrahmane Sissako's Timbuktu swept the Cesar Awards tonight - it won seven awards, which is impressive as it is, and even more impressive when one considers its nomination haul: eight. Meanwhile, leading nominee Saint Laurent (the Bertrand Bonello one) won only Costume Design, which it was surely destined to win anyway. The internet buzz is flying for Kristen Stewart, as she makes good on her nomination for Clouds of Sils Maria - the first in 30 years for an American actress at the Cesars, which she's translated into the first win ever for an American actress here.
