LADY CHATTERLEY TRIUMPHS AT THE CESARS

LADY CHATTERLEY led the field at last night's (24FEB07) Cesar's - France's Academy Awards equivalent - dominating the evening with a five-awards haul.

The French film took the top Best Film gong, with MARINA HANDS named Best Actress for her part in the big-screen adaptation of D.H. LAWRENCE's classic novel. It also picked up awards for Best Adaptation, Best Costumes and Best Cinematography.

NE LE DIS A PERSONNE (DON'T TELL ANYONE) scooped two awards at the ceremony in Paris' Theatre du Chatelet; FRANCOIS CLUZET for Best Actor and GUILLAME CANET for Best Director.

INDIGENES (DAYS OF GLORY), which garnered nine nominations, was the surprise flop of the evening, landing only one award for Best Original Screenplay.

Oscar-tipped LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE won Best Foreign Film.
