Kristen Stewart Wins a French Oscar--and Even She Looked Stunned to Be the First American Woman to Win a César!

Out of the way, MTV Movie Award popcorn and Teen Choice surfboards.

Kristen Stewart is a César winner now!

On Friday she won Best Supporting Actress at the 40th César Film Awards for her role in the psychological dramaClouds of Sils Maria, becoming the first American actress to win France's equivalent of an Oscar. Her nomination alone made her the first American woman to be in the running for the honor in 30 years.

So yes, modern cinematic history was just made--and even Stewart looked stunned, her hand instantly covering her mouth (which we can only imagine was forming a good-natured expletive).

The visibly startled actress gave a little thumbs-up and got a congratulatory hug from Sils co-star Juliette Binoche before making her way to the stage. (Binoche was up for Best Actress but lost out to Les Combattants' Adèle Haenel.)

"OK, here we go," Stewart began her acceptance speech, nervously unfolding her notes. "I can't even move my hands."

But then she took a deep breath and even said a few thank-yous in French before proceeding in English, Binoche and director Olivier Assayas smiling broadly at her from the audience.

Timbuktu, which is also nominated for the Best Foreign-Language Film Oscar, was named Best Picture and won the night overall, conquering in seven out of the eight categories it was nominated in. Saint-Laurent, a biopic about famed fashion designer Yves Saint-Laurent, was the most nominated film of the night but only collected one César, for Best Costumes, at the Theatre de Chatelet in Paris.

Other top-notch Hollywood talent in the crowd tonight included Marion Cotillard, who we'll be seeing at the Oscars on Sunday, and Charlize Theron and Sean Penn.

Mila Kunis Jokes About Adjusting to Her "Amazing" Big Boobs, Trains Baby Wyatt to Become a Chicago Bears Fan

It's been four months and five days since Mila Kunis gave birth to Wyatt Isabelle Kutcher. "But who's counting?" she asked on TBS' Conan Wednesday. The Jupiter Ascending actress, 31, said life got better after welcoming a daughter with Ashton Kutcher. "It's the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. I've said this and I stand by it," she said. "It is great." Conan O'Brien agreed with Mila's stance, though he was a bit distracted by her chest. "I saw a red carpet picture of you and it looked like Channing Tatum was staring at...because there are changes that the body goes through, and it looks like he's busted for staring at your breasts," the late-night host said. After a picture of Mila and her co-star appeared onscreen, she said, "Hold on! That's awful. Here's the thing...I swear! I know him and I love him. He really wasn't. But, boy, do these things grow! I don'

Will Smith Banned From Attending Oscars For a Decade After Chris Rock Incident

  A little less than two weeks after Will Smith   slapped Chris Rock onstage at the 2022 Oscars, the Academy has decided to ban the actor from "any events or programs, in person or virtually, including but not limited to the Academy Awards" for 10 years.   The move comes after board members from the Academy held a meeting on April 8 to determine what disciplinary action would be taken against the actor in the wake of the March 27 show. In a statement obtained by E! News, Academy President  David Rubin  and CEO  Dawn Hudson  stated in part, "During our telecast, we did not adequately address the situation in the room. For this, we are sorry. This was an opportunity for us to set an example for our guests, viewers and our Academy family around the world, and we fell short—unprepared for the unprecedented." "This action we are taking today in response to Will Smith's behavior is a step toward a larger goal of protecting the safety of our performers and guests,
