Refresh for latest…: Xavier Giannoli’s Illusions Perdues (Lost Illusions) leads nominations for the 2022 César Awards, France’s equivalent to the Oscar. The Venice premiere scored 15 mentions, followed by Leos Carax’s Annette, which opened the Cannes Film Festival last year and has 11 nominations. They are followed by Valérie Lemercier’s Aline, the musical dramedy inspired by the life of Céline Dion which also debuted in Cannes and has 10 nods. (Scroll down for the full list of nominations which is being updated.)
In the Best Picture field are Lost Illusions, Annette, Aline, Bac Nord, Happening, La Fracture and Onoda, 10,000 Nuits Dans La Jungle.
In the Foreign Film category are Compartment No. 6, Drive My Car, First Cow, The Worst Person In The World, La Loi De Teheran, Parallel Mothers and The Father.
Departing with tradition, the annual press conference announcing the nominations, typically taking place at Fouquet’s on the Champs-Elysées, was not held this year.
Screenwriter/director Danièle Thompson is presiding over the ceremony this year which will be held on February 25 in Paris.
Cate Blanchett had previously been set for an honorary César.
