‘The Artist’ Stars Jean Dujardin & Berenice Bejo Talk Awards Season (VIDEOS)

Celebs flocked to the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Awards in Los Angeles last night and Celebuzz had a chance to catch up with two of this awards season’s brightest stars. Film critics have been singing praises for Jean Dujardin and Berenice Bejo‘s performances in The Artist (which is up for a lot of Oscars, by the way) and the two co-stars have been making their way around the red carpet circuit.

Bejo, who’s currently nominated for Best Supporting Actress, dished to us on just how she broke the news to her mother. 

The French actress was actually quite nonchalant in her delivery. She told us she left a message on her mother’s phone, saying:

Hey mom, it’s Berenice. Just letting you know I got nominated for an Oscar. Call me back!

But as for her co-star Dujardin, he was overwhelmed by awards season in general — especially the prospect of rubbing elbows with Brad Pitt!

Check out their interviews above and below!

Their film has swept the awards season thus far, and "The Artist" co-stars Berenice Bejo and Jean Dujardin were both on-hand for the 64th Annual Directors Guild Of America Awards in Hollywood, California on Saturday evening (January 28).

The 35-year-old Argentine-French actress worked the arrivals area alongside her director Michel Hazanavicius at the Grand Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland while Mr Dujardin suited up for his solo turn on the red carpet.

As for the reason behind their appearances, Miss Bejo and Mr Dujardin are both among the stars selected to pass out a trophy while joining fellow presenters such as George Clooney, Octavia Spencer, Laura Dern, Deborah Ann Woll and Stana Katic.

Meanwhile, Mr Hazanavicius is in the running for Best Feature Film honors while facing a field of contenders including Woody Allen (Midnight in Paris), David Fincher (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo), Alexander Payne (The Descendants) and Martin Scorsese (Hugo).
