    Saw the awards last night. I wish the camera had panned more on the French actors that I so admire, i.e. Catherine Front; Yolande Moreau..etc. Instead, we had to be subjected to the attention whoring of Emma Thompson. Yes, Emma, I KNOW you are an ACTOR, I KNOW you EMOTE, I KNOW you are dramatic, I KNOW your French is wonderful. We all KNOW that apparently you will try to take anyone else's moment. It is not all about YOU Emma.
