Loert 2,510 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 For one, Tintin was a spectacular soundtrack, one of Williams' most melodically inventive. Chapeau! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed you either had to be of French descent, or had done anything special for France to receive the award. But speaking of which, Williams actually HAS French descent. His great-grandmother on his mother's side, Emily Roberteau, was from Paris, I believe. It's insane that I know that. I should get a life already!

Jilal 569 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Just out of curiosity, isn't it more common for an adverb like hier to be placed at the end of a sentence in French? E.g. Curieux, car je l'ai vraiment vu(,) hier soir! instead of Curieux, car hier soir(,) je l'ai vraiment vu! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
