No doubt we were never in a situation of cognitive discrepancy as complete as this Friday evening to connect to the evening of the Césars after having attended as a powerless spectator with the terrifying altercation between The two mafia trump and jd vance cornering the hero Zelensky To break his mouth live as in a 7th area black film. The mistress of ceremonies, Catherine Deneuve, dedicated the evening to Ukraine. It was the minimum that it was possible to do and continue as if nothing had happened.
We must recognize that the first prices distributed have something to rejoice. Whether it is the César for the best male hope to the excellent Abu Sangarénon -professional castered in Amiens when he was in a mechanic training and who since his interpretation price in Cannes has been able to have a one -year residence permit. « Thank you to the Academy for this wonderful organization »he said claiming that he had gone through a period of total non-life between 2017 and 2023, the meeting with the Boris Lojkine film team acting as a second birth. The César for the best first film goes to Louise Courvoisier for the formidable Twenty godsand there again, well seen since this story of resourcefulness in the country of the county is one of the most energizing things seen here for a long time.
Jonathan Glazer wins the César for the best foreign film. Absent in the room, he asked that a text be read in his name, again on the question of war between Israel and Gaza: “Today, Holocausts and Jewish security are used to justify massacres and ethnic cleaning in Gaza after the massacres. The massacres of October 7 and the taking of hostages in Israel: in one case is in the other, acts of terror against innocent people, made possible by the dehumanization of people, people who are on the other side of our walls. This is the area of interest. « Short applause but fed in the room. A speech of the same nature had created the controversy during the 2024 Oscars, he then received the prize for the best foreign film in Los Angeles.
The favorites of this evening competition, in a varied genre, bring together three nominations. In pole position, Count of Monte-Cristo by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de la Patelière with a presence in 14 of the 24 categories is closely followed by Love phew de Gilles Lellouche (thirteen nominations) and Emilia Pérez by Jacques Audiard, twelve nominations on the clock (and thirteen for the Oscars on Sunday).
