At 80, Danièle Thompson, nominated for the Oscar for best screenplay for cousin, cousin in 1976, succeeded Roschdy Zem at the head of a ceremony in search of a new lease of life after several controversies (Roman Polanski, naked intervention by Corinne Masiero, lack of diversity, opacity of the former management under Alain Terzian, etc.).
Now organized under the supervision of Véronique Cayla and the filmmaker Éric Toledano, the Césars are therefore expected at the turn. The Césars unveil the nominated films and artists this Wednesday. The 4,363 cinema professionals who are members of the Academy will have one month to vote and decide between them, in 24 categories.
The favorites of this 47th Cesar ceremony
After the Palme d’Or awarded to Titanium by Audrey Ducournau and the Golden Lion awarded to The Event of Audrey Diwan, the Académie des César will hardly be able to overlook female talents. To date, only filmmaker Tonie Marshall has been awarded in the best director category.
AlineValérie Lemercier’s biopic on Celine Dion, and thrillers Black Box with Pierre Niney or North ferry should pull out of the game. The opera-rock Annette by Leos Carax or the fresco on the war Onoda, 10,000 nights in the jungle and polar Night Doctor look like outsiders.
A tribute to Jean-Paul Belmondo
The Academy of Cinema Arts and Techniques pays tribute to Jean-Paul Belmondo, who died on September 6, 2021, by dedicating to him the poster for this 47th edition, a triptych of shots taken from the cult film by Jean-Luc Godard, Pierrot le fouwhere the actor gave the reply to Anna Karina.
The event, led by master of ceremonies Antoine de Caunes, will take place at the Olympia and will be broadcast on Canal+ on Friday 25 February.
