- Hello Sophie, did you watch the César Awards ceremony last night ? - Yes, my sister and I, we never miss this event. This year, I loved the energy of the master of ceremonies. He was very funny. But my sister didn't like him at all. She found his jokes annoying. What about you, did you enjoy the ceremony? - Of course! The evening was spectacular. I admired the decor and the guests' outfits. But the ceremony lasted too long and the sketches were boring at times. - I agree, but now, I want to go and see the award-winning films!

Clever stuff happening!
