Silent film The Artist has won six awards including best picture, best actress and best director at France's answer to the Academy Awards.

Just two days before the Oscars, co-star Berenice Bejo and director Michel Hazanavicius took top honours at the Cesar awards.

Best actor honours went to Omar Sy, star of the blockbuster feel-good movie Intouchables (Untouchable).

He notably beat The Artist star Jean Dujardin who won the category at Cannes, the Golden Globes and the Baftas - and is among the best-actor nominees at the Oscars.
