This year’s Cesar Awards, France’s equivalent of the Oscars, saw an actress strip off on stage in protest over the closure of cinemas and theatres during the age of coronavirus.
Corinne Masiero’s rallying call for culture came as she presented the best costume award at the Paris ceremony.
The actress appeared on stage in a donkey costume, with tampons for earrings.
“Is that too trash?” Masiero asked the socially-distanced audience, before removing the donkey costume to reveal what looked like a blood-soaked dress.

The 57-year-old then announced: “I have a last one.”
