Roman Polanski triumphs at European Film Awards with the "Ghost Writer"

Roman Polanski's thriller The Ghost Writer was the toast of the European Film Awards, winning six prizes including best film and best director. The 77-year-old did not attend the ceremony in Estonia, appearing instead via internet video software Skype.

"You have rewarded a truly European venture," he said from his Paris home.

Scotland's Ewan McGregor was named best actor for his role in the film as a writer hired to "ghost" the memoirs of a former British prime minister.
