Dujardin garnered international fame and widespread acclaim with his performance of George Valentin in the 2011 award-winning silent movie ''The Artist'' by Hazanavicius. The role won him numerous awards, including the Academy Award for Best Actor (the first for a French actor), the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role, the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role and the Cannes Film Festival's Best Actor Award. Despite this newfound popularity, he chose to keep his focus on France, where he remains a popular actor, although he later appeared in the English-language films ''The Wolf of Wall Street'' (2013) and ''The Monuments Men'' (2014).
