After the announcement of the nominees for the Oscars yesterday afternoon, it is the turn of the César Academy to announce its nominations. She and Frantz dominate the number of citations while My Life as a Zucchini is found in several categories.
She has already caused a sensation at the Golden Globes, she is about to repeat her success at the César. Elle: new work by Paul Verhoeven, won 11 nominations during the ceremony that celebrates the French film year of 2016. A success that he must share with Franz, François Ozon's feature film, centered on the war of 14-18. But the most beautiful representation remains without a doubt that of My Life as a Zucchini, quoted three times. The animated film will also be present at the Oscars, which makes it a beautiful representative for French cinema. Following the withdrawal on Roman Polansky related to the controversy, the ceremony is for the moment without a president, while it will be hosted by Jérôme Commandeur. The 42nd evening of the César will be broadcast unencrypted on Canal + on Friday, February 24. We are waiting impatiently to see who will be the winners of a ceremony often discredited by some moviegoers. Here is the list of Nominees:
