The Academy of César renews itself and wishes to revive interest in its awards night. In this momentum, the institution then announced this Wednesday, January 11 that the 48is ceremony would not be hosted by a master ceremony as had been the case for Antoine de Caunes or Florence Forresti in the past, but nine.
Indeed, a whole range of actors and actresses will officiate on Friday, February 24 at the Olympia. We can find Emmanuelle Devos, Léa Drucker, Eye Haïdara, Leïla Bekti, Jerome Commander, Jamel Debbouze, Alex Lutz, Raphaël Personnaz and Ahmed Sylla. At the controls of all this animation: Tahar Rahim. The 41-year-old actor has been nominated to chair the 48is Caesar ceremony.
The organizers promise “a collegial and joyful presentation in support of cinematographic creation, a collective mobilization in the service of a renewed ceremony which will highlight the artistic diversity of cinema in France.”
If for these actors the presentation of the Césars is an honor, it is nonetheless a perilous exercise. All the more so following the storms weathered by the institution in recent years. We remember thePolanski casedisappointing audiences or the many criticisms around the profession.
However, the Academy seems to have learned from its mistakes, and recently proved it. Indeed, in a press release shared on January 3, she declared that all persons implicated “for acts of violence” would be indentations. A decision which comes in the wake of the Sofiane Bennacer affair, a young actor revealed in The Almond Trees indicted for rape.
