The Night of the 12th wins best picture at Cesar Awards

Dominik Moll’s brooding procedural thriller “The Night of the 12th” won big at the 48th Cesar Awards Friday night in Paris.

Gazeta reports that Moll has also won Best Director and Bouillon has won Best Supporting Actor for his performance.

Virginie Efira won best actress for her performance as a terror attack survivor in Alice Winocour’s “Paris Memories,” while Benoit Magimel won with Albert Serra’s “Pacifiction.” It was Magimel’s second consecutive win. He nabbed last year’s prize with “Peaceful” and beat out Adam Driver in “Annette.”

“The Innocent,” which was nominated for 11 Cesar Awards, won best original screenplay and supporting actress for Noemie Merlant (“Portrait of a Lady on Fire,” “Tar”).
