		<description><![CDATA[The staggering (and well-deserved) 9-trophy haul for &#8220;A Prophet&#8221; at the Césars (including major wins for Picture, Director, Actor, Supporting actor and Original screenplay) is sure to bode well for its chances of walking away with the Foreign Film prize at the upcoming Academy Awards.
