'The Artist' Cleans Up At British Awards

It has been all about the Grammy's over here, but over in our European counterparts there has been another big awards show, The BAFTAS, which stands for The British Film and Television Arts Awards. These trophies were also handed out yesterday, and are a good predictor for which stars could take home the coveted Oscar trophies in just a couple of weeks. The big standout from the U.K. awards was clearly, The Artist, which had a whopping 12 nominations. We have come to expect this from the silent black-and-white film.... but will the Academy agree with all the hype? Last night they received Best Film, took home awards for best director, screenplay, cinematography, music and costume design. Leading man, JEAN DUJARDIN, also nabbed the award for Leading Actor. Do you think this is what will happen come Oscar night? In the female categories The Artist didn't outshine. The Leading Actress gong went to Meryl Streep for her role in Iron Lady and The Help star Octavia Spencer took home the award for Best Supporting Actress. Love these two ladies!
