To ensure his chances for an Oscar, a scene that could be considered offensive by Americans was cut from a new film starring French actor Jean Dujardin. It concerned a scene in which Dujardin is in a hotel room in New York. When his wife calls him and asks how he is doing. "Fine, honey," Dujardin replies, while in the background through the hotel window you can see a plane crashing into the towers of the World Trade Center. The French actor won an Oscar for his role in the silent film 'The Artist'.
