Update, Writethru: France’s biggest movie awards night has drawn to a close with Custody (Jusqu’à La Garde) crowned Best Picture. Originally screened in Venice and Toronto in 2017, it’s a story of domestic abuse that stars Denis Ménochet and Léa Drucker, the latter won Best Actress tonight. Jacques Audiard’s The Sisters Brothers also scored multiple recognition including Best Director.
While some of tonight’s winners in Paris were expected — during a ceremony that is forever laborious — it was a major shock to see an In Memoriam segment minus two incredibly important figures. Where was Michel Le Grand? And why was Samuel Hadida not remembered in a first segment, but the added later in the telecast? Franchement?
In any case, below is a rundown of

Bochum, Germany -- "The White Ribbon," Michael Haneke's powerful depiction of a German village on the eve of World War I, conquered the 2009 European Film Awards, beating out Oscar champ "Slumdog Millionaire" to win the top trophies in the best film and director categories.
"I'm stunned. I'm overwhelmed," Haneke said as he hoisted his best film trophy, adding that the film was "truly an European production" as it featured funding and production teams from four countries -- Germany, Austria, France and Italy.
Haneke also won the European wcreenwriter nod for his disturbing script to "The White Ribbon," which traces the roots of fascism in the oppressive religious and civil society of Germany in 1913.
"Slumdog Millionaire" didn't go away empty-handed, picking up the Efa's people choice award as well as the European cinematographer prize for cameraman Anthony Dod Mantle, who was also honored for his lensing of Lars von Trier's shocker "Antichrist.
