Best picture, best actor in a leading role, best directing, best custom design, best music ...

    (George) Can you really?
    6-; (Peppy at the dressing room). Knock, knock. George?
    I wish I could be a dancer in his company,… What if my dream came true?
    Oh Mr. George let’s dance this, I need you close enough to guide me. All my life I’ve been hoping you would find me.
    7-; ( Photographer). Fashionable couple! I’ve got that, thank you Peppy.
    8-; (George’s wife). You’re reported to be the most stunning couple on the stage. She looks very young and smart. I hope you be sure you can keep her just as a dancing couple,… just on the stage ..You know what I mean.
    9-; (George). What else could be darling?
    10-; (Dancing rehearsal).Here we go, now, slide it down twice and repeat the flying swing aut, tap it; one two, three, and flying circle, and..Slide it down again, tap it one…
    11-; (backstage). Oh, oh, too much energy on it. Look at this syncopation choreography, this improvisation sounds like an acappella dancing.
    12-; (Peppy whistles).Here it goes.
    13-; (The couple) . This is going further than it was supposed to. I think I might be in love with you.
    14-; (George’s wife). I knew it from the first. I hate you, I want a divorce.

    16-; (George) . It can’t happen, not to me.
    17-; (Peppy).Yes, I’m pretty excited about the tremendous success at the Premier of my first talkie. I’m eager to start filming again.
    18-;( Dresser assistants).Look at you Peppy, you shine like a real star now.
    19-; (Voice-off). George was left in despair, hapless, unhappiness.
    20-; (Voice-off).The time went by for Peppy, although George’s memories are a kind of torment for her.
    21-; (the silent movie becomes a talkie). Peppy please, don’t let me fall down, grab my hand darling, please…
    22-; (George).There it was the Artist, here it is the man. It was a nice time. Wasn’t it?
    23-; (Peppy).I’m so anguished. I let him go down. I feel awfully guilty.
    Would you ever forgive me?
    24-;( George).No, no, it’s not fair, I hate her, I hate the movies I hate it all.
    25-; (Peppy).I can’t live with this. It has no meaning at all, oh,…crash.
    26-; (Voice-off). The Artist is a satirical comedy silent movie that tells us about the moving experience of many silent actors with the advent of the talkies.
