Cesar awards

Marion Cotillard shed her jacket and braved snow to pose on the red carpet at the César Awards in Paris on Friday. She chose yet another Christian Dior gown after wearing a creation by designer Raf Simons to the BAFTAs earlier this month. Marion was nominated for best actress at the French event for her work in Rust and Bone, though the honor went to Amour's Emmanuelle Riva. Other big winners included Marion's Rust and Bone costar Matthias Schoenaerts in the most promising male newcomer category and Argo for best foreign film. Kevin Costner was honored with a lifetime achievement award and accepted his statue, saying, "Merci, bonsoir. There's no hiding I'm an American. Thank you for seeing me for who I am." He was joined by wife Christine Baumgartner for the award show, which is France's equivalent of the Oscars.

Kate Winslet wore a sequin gown on the red carpet at the César Film Awards in Paris this afternoon. She's receiving an honorary award at the show, which will be presented to her by Carnage director Roman Polanski. The evening's host, Guillaume Canet, also posed for pictures on his way inside, though he was without his partner, Marion Cotillard, since she's currently filming alongside Joaquin Phoenix in NYC. Kate did have her significant other, Ned Rocknroll, along for the trip to France, and the couple were seen arriving at the Ritz earlier today. Kate most recently popped up in NYC for Fashion Week, where she attended multiple events as the face of St. John.
