36th annual César Awards - nominations


France's Académie des Arts et Techniques du Cinéma unveiled the list of nominees for the 36th annual César Awards. Although it was not shortlisted for the Best Foreign Language Film category for the Oscars, Xavier Beauvois' film Des hommes et des dieux (Of Gods and Men) led the César nominations with eleven, including Best Film, Director, Actor (Lambert Wilson) and Original Screenplay (Etienne Comar, Xavier Beauvois).

The France/Germany/UK co-production The Ghost Writer was one of two films that received eight nominations, including Best Film, Director (Roman Polanski), Adapted Screenplay (Robert Harris, Roman Polanski) and Original Score (Alexandre Desplat). Johann Sfar’s biopic Gainsbourg (vie héroïque) about the life of Serge Gainsbourg was the other film with eight mentions, including Best Film and Best First Film.

The other contenders for Best Film are L'Arnacoeur (Heartbreaker), Le Nom des gens (The Names of Love), Mammuth and Tournée (On Tour). Tournée (On Tour) received seven nominations. So too did Bertrand Tavernier’s La Princesse de Montpensier (The Princess of Montpensier), though it wasn't among the Best Film nominees. Other notable omissions from the Best Film slot include Olivier Assayas' much-lauded five-and-a-half hour epic Carlos, le film, and Guilliame Canet's French box office champion Les Petits Mouchoirs (Little White Lies).

Canadian wunderkind Xavier Dolan is among the nominees for Best Foreign Film with his sophomore film Les Amours imaginaires (Heartbeats). His debut film J'ai tué ma mere (I Killed My Mother) won three awards at the Cannes Film Festival.

The 4,179  members of the Académie will vote on the awards and the results will be revealed on Feb. 25th when the 36th annual César Awards ceremony is held at the Chatelet Theatre in Paris. Antoine de Caunes will host the event, his seventh time doing so. The fluent French-speaking actress Jodie Foster has been named to preside over the ceremony. Quentin Tarantino has been selected to receive an honorary César award, and he is expected to attend.
