The seemingly unstoppable French film "The Artist," produced by Thomas Langmann, won best feature at the Film Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday. The black-and-white homage to silent cinema, which is also nominated for 10 Oscars, is considered a best picture front-runner heading into Sunday night’s 84th Academy Awards ceremony.
"The Artist's" Michel Hazanavicius was honored as best director, star Jean Dujardin won for best male lead for his turn as a dashing movie idol whose fame is on the wane and Guillaume Schiffman won the cinematography award for the film. Only Hazanavicius was on hand to claim his statuette, however, as the other two men had not yet arrived from France, where "The Artist" picked up even more accolades this weekend at the Cesar Awards.
Other big winners included Michelle Williams, who was named best actress for her role in the biopic "My Week With Marilyn," in which she portrays the iconic star Marilyn Monroe. Williams also won a Golden Globe for her performance and is nominated for an Academy Award.
