'The Artist' scoops six French film awards

PARIS - Black-and-white silent movie The Artist scooped up six Cesar awards including best film and best actress on Friday in France's annual version of the Academy Awards, further raising French hopes it could do well at the Oscars this weekend.
A misty-eyed flashback to late 1920s Hollywood, the French-made film has proved an unexpected international success, bagging seven British BAFTA awards earlier this month, including best film, and a Golden Globe before that.
