2009 French Film Critics' Étoiles d'Or winners: Feb. 9, 2009

("*" denotes the winner in each category)

 

Francois Begaudeau in The Class
In Laurent Cantet's Palme d'Or winner The Class, teacher-author François Bégaudeau (who also wrote the book on which the film is based) stars as a teacher coping with students in a tough Parisian suburb mostly inhabited by African and Arab immigrants. Chosen as the best French film of the year by the French film critics, The Class has also won a Spirit Award for best foreign-language film and is up for an Academy Award in that same category.
