2012 César du cinéma nominations


L'Académie des arts et techniques du cinéma in France has announced the nominations for the 37th Annual César du cinéma.

Maïwenn's Polisse led the field with 13 nominations. Its mentions included Best Film, Director and Original Screenplay for co-writers Maïwenn and Emmanuelle Bercot. With the increase in nominees to seven in some categories, it ties the César nomination record held by Cyrano de Bergerac and A Prophet. Polisse is about a police child protection unit and won the Jury Prize at the last Cannes Film Festival.

Following with 11 nominations was Pierre Schoeller's L'exercice de l'État (The Minister). It was nominated for Best Film, Director, Original Screenplay and Actor (Olivier Gourmet). Next was Michel Hazanavicius' The Artist with nominations included Best Film, Director, Actor (Jean Dujardin), Actress (Bérénice Béjo) and Original Screenplay.

Rounding out the Best Film category were the films, La guerre est déclarée (Declaration of War) by Valérie Donzelli, Le Havre by Aki Kaurismäki, Intouchables by Eric Toledano, Olivier Nakache, and Pater by Alain Cavalier.

Canadian director Denis Villeneuve will be competing in the Foreign Film category with his Oscar-nominated Incendies. It most recently won the Foreign Film award at the 17th Prix Lumière. It will be up against Drive, Black Swan, Melancholia, A Separation, The King's Speech and Le gamin au vélo (The Kid with a Bike).

British actress Kate Winslet will be presented with an Honorary César. Her Carnage director Roman Polanski will present her with the award.

The 37th César du cinéma ceremony, hosted by actor Guillaume Canet, and presented by master of ceremonies Antoine de Caunes, will be held on Friday, February 24, 2012 at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris.
