With the coveted Best Picture and Best Director wins, however, The Artist, the French-made silent flick shown in black and white was the clear winner for last night’s star-studded Oscar Academy Awards in Los Angeles. While Michel Hazanavicius’s The Artist and legendary director Martin Scorcese’s Hugo both took home five awards, The Artist‘s wins in the high-profile categories of Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor made the throwback to classic cinema one that’s certainly shone a light on a previously deceased genre of film.
