Cannes Film Festival

The Cannes Film Festival Comes to a Glamorous Close

Diane Kruger graced the red carpet at the closing ceremonies of the Cannes Film Festival today.

Diane Kruger graced the red carpet at the closing ceremonies of the Cannes Film Festival today. She was among the panel of jurors that presented director Michael Haneke's Amour with this year's Palme d’Or, the competition's top prize. Diane kept with her black-and-white theme and, for her final red-carpet appearance, she chose a formal Christian Dior ball gown. She complemented the look with minimal jewelry and showed no signs of the $45,000 engagement-gift necklace Joshua Jackson reportedly purchased for her during their stay in France.

Alec Baldwin and his fiancée, Hilaria Thomas, joined Diane, Adrien Brody, Ewan McGregor, and Jean Dujardin at a screening of Thérèse Desqueyroux, the festival's final event. It was an exciting week of fashion, entertainment, A-list parties, and hot couples, but if you missed any of the star-studded moments, be sure to check out all the photos from the Cannes Film Festival!

Best Oscars Pictures Backstage 2012

There was so much action on the Oscars red carpet and during the Billy Crystal-hosted show. Backstage and in the audience, though, is where the fun really went down. Angelina Jolie took a last-minute chance to rehearse her presenter's lines ahead of handing out the best screenplay awards. George Clooney and Stacy Keibler chatted with his Descendants' costars Judy Greer and Shailene Woodley, and Gwyneth Paltrow hung out by the curtains in her chic Tom Ford. Octavia Spencer may have taken home best supporting actress, but she was still the one carrying her black leather bag — click through to see all the backstage highlights.

Oscar Date 411: Jean Dujardin

The Artist's Jean Dujardin has reached the height of a Hollywood career, winning for best actor tonight at the Oscars!

The Artist's Jean Dujardin has reached the height of a Hollywood career, winning for best actor tonight at the Oscars! But before international movie fame, he was a TV star in French. From 1999 to 2003, he was on Un Gars, une Fille (A Girl, a Guy), alongside his future wife, Alexandra Lamy. The pair, who posed side by side on the red carpet tonight, were costars on the humorous series about an everyday relationship. Although they met on set, they didn't marry until 2009, bringing together their children from previous relationships. Jean has two sons and she has a daughter. The two comedians currently live in Paris. See more photos of Jean and Alexandra from tonight's big event!

SAG Awards

The Help's Win, Love For 30 Rock and Modern Family, a Scorsese Drinking Game — Highlights From the SAG Awards!

Michelle Williams was the first presenter at this evening's SAG Awards, handing the outstanding supporting actor statue to Christopher Plummer from Beginners.

Michelle Williams was the first presenter at this evening's SAG Awards, handing the outstanding supporting actor statue to Christopher Plummer from Beginners. Octavia Spencer took home the corresponding statue for her work in The Help.



On the TV end, Alec Baldwin squealed with delight when he was named best actor in a comedic series, and an especially stunned Betty White, from Hot in Cleveland, dedicated her prize to her leading ladies Wendie Malick, Valerie Bertinelli, and Jane Leeves. The child actors from Modern Family, Ariel Winter, Rico Rodriguez, and Nolan Gould, got a chance to take the podium when their series won outstanding cast in a comedy. Miniseries accolades went to two absent stars, Kate Winslet for Mildred Pierce and Paul Giamatti for Too Big to Fail.



Bridesmaids' Maya Rudolph, Kristin Wiig, and Melissa McCarthy brought some comedic relief when onstage introducing their film as a contender in the best ensemble category. The trio came to the stage armed with vodka, beer, and champagne, and introduced a drinking game based around the word "Scorsese." Jessica Lange then followed up on her Golden Globes win with another victory in the category of best dramatic actress on a TV series for American Horror Story. Steve Buscemi won an Actor for his leading role on HBO's Boardwalk Empire. TV ensemble in a drama honors went to Steve's whole cast, giving him an additional opportunity to invoke his producer Martin Scorsese's name as an excuse for a drink.



There was a slight upset in the best actor in a film category — The Artist's Jean Dujardin beat out Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Demián Bichir, and George Clooney. Viola Davis claimed the best female actor in a motion picture for The Help, and beamed from the stage in her Marchesa gown. Further acclaim went to the cast of Viola's movie, with their Actor statues being handed off by none other than Brad Pitt. We've rounded up the full list of 2012 SAG Award winners, and make sure to check out all the action from celebrities on the SAGs red carpet!

Michelle attended the afterparty nonetheless, still decked out in her red Valentino gown. She made the rounds chatting up Bérénice Bejo, while another of the evening's winners, Modern Family's Sofia Vergara, had a moment with Jean.
