MeToo overshadows French Oscars: standing ovation for actress Judith Godrèche after moving speech

Sexual violence in the film industry was the focus last night during the César Awards, the French equivalent of the Oscars. In the Olympia theater in Paris, 51-year-old actress Judith Godrèche, who accused two directors of abuse earlier this month, gave a moving speech. The audience listened breathlessly to her story and rewarded her with a standing ovation. Her words were broadcast live on TV.
