A film about France & #039;s late fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent and another about a Malian family struggling under jihadist tyranny are leading the race for France & #039;s top movie awards to be handed out next month, the organisers said Wednesday. & quot;Saint Laurent & quot; and & quot;Timbuktu & quot; are among five French-produced films vying for the best picture trophy at the Cesar awards, which are announced in Paris on February 20, just two days before the Oscars ceremony in the United States. The Cesars field for the best foreign picture notably includes the Belgian movie & quot;Two Days, One Night & quot;, with a Best Actress nomination for its French star Marion Cotillard -- who is in the running for a best actress Oscar.
