Emmanuelle Devos actress

'Amelie' wins Best Picture in France

France's whimsical romance "Amelie" won best picture at the Cesar awards, the French equivalent of the Oscars.

The creative comedy also won for best director, Jean-Pierre Jeunet. But its much-praised star, Audrey Tautou, was passed over for best actress in favor of Emmanuelle Devos in "Sur Mes Levres (Read My Lips)."

"Amelie" won two other awards at the ceremony Saturday evening - for music and art direction. It had received a record 13 nominations.

Already the top-grossing French film ever in the United States, "Amelie" is a leading candidate for best foreign film at the Oscars March 24.

The film, which has broken box-office records in France, stars Tautou as a shy and quirky young woman who goes about improving the lives of those around her in imaginative ways - but lacks the courage to pursue the object of her affections.
