The César renders their 50th record this Friday, February 28, 2025. Many films are a favorite and have their chance to win one or more statuettes. We take stock of the competition.
Essential
- The 50th César ceremony takes place this Friday evening. The list will be known from 8:45 p.m. Like every year, it is Canal++ Who broadcasts the evening live and clearly.
- The competition looks tight this year. Several films are likely to win a César this year: Count of Monte-Cristo (with its 14 nominations), Love phew (13 nominations), Emilia Pérez (12 nominations) but also Souleymane’s story (8 appointments) and Mercy (8 appointments).
- Difficult to establish forecasts before the start of the César ceremony. Social and political film, Souleymane’s story could win in the face of blockbusters Count of Monte-Cristo And Love phew. His actor, Abu Sangare, is favorite for the César for the best male revelation. Mercy can leave with interpretation prices (notably the second female role), just as Love phew (Men’s second role and female revelation), and Emilia Pérez (Best actress for Zoe Saldana). The competition is more tight in the best actor and best film categories, as well as in the best first film category. We take stock of the potential forms below.
Live
10:35 – “The Count of Monte -Cristo” is running in mind
In number of appointments, it is Count of Monte-Cristo Who runs in mind. Cited 14 times, the film contributes in most categories, especially for the César for best film, best production, best actor, best actress in a supporting role or even best actor in a supporting role. A huge popular success with more than nine million box-office admissions 2024, we can expect it to widen several statuettes this evening. For latecomers, know that the film is available in streaming on MyCanal.
10:01 – Can winners be known in advance?
The César are delivered this Friday evening after a voting phase of the members of the Academy, which designate the winners of each ceremony. But impossible to know the winners before their name was announced on the stage of Olympia: there has (still) never had a flight on the record.
09:30 – Where and when to see the 50th César ceremony?
