Jean Dujardin Emotional as He Wins Best Actor

With stars like Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, and George Clooney nominated in the same category, Jean Dujardin was taken by surprise when his name was called as the recipient of the Best Actor award at the SAG Awards this Sunday.

"Oh my god, my god, my god," Dujardin said as he took to the podium to accept the award.

The 39-year-old French actor and comedian was the only member of The Artist to receive an award, as the silent film was also nominated for two other awards including Best Cast in a Motion Picture.

"I was a very bad student. I didn't listen in class. I was always dreaming," he said as he struggled to contain his emotions.
