In terms of awards, the play As You Like It by William Shakespeare, directed by Léna Bréban won four trophies, including that of best actress in a private theater show for Barbara Schulz. While actress Clotilde Hesme (new HPI recruit on TF1) won the Molière for best actress in a public theater show for Stallone, comedian Vincent Dedienne won the Molière for humor for Un soir de gala . To remember also the Molière d’honneur awarded this year to Francis Weber.
While some stars were sacred on the stage of the Folies Bergère, others shone under the flashes of the photographers.
