Tonight, it’s the big night. Despite certain controversies, Antoine de Caunes wants to ensure that his tenth and final presentation of the César 2022 takes place in the best possible way. “When we talk about last year’s ceremony like Titanic, I step up to defend my little comrades because they had everything against them: there were not many films released in theaters, so no At stake, viewers had seen few of these films… and what’s more, there was no audience at the Olympia. This year, the idea is not to catch up with anything, it’s just to put cinema back at the center of the game”found José Garcia’s former sidekick au in the columns of Parisian.
If he does everything not to reproduce the same errors, it is in particular because Antoine de Caunes has already had to sweep away scandals as in September 2014 when he had delivered an unflattering portrait of gamers in the edition of the Big Friday Journal with columnist Mathilde Serrell.
But what happened? It all started with the topic around Twitch. At the time, the platform was starting to gain momentum and was described as allowing gamers “stream their own games played on PlayStation, Xbox or PC online, and watch other gamers“. From there, Antoine de Caunes had described this principle as “desolation” and then added “So there are people watching other people playing? You really have to give a damn about your life.”
Only here, neither one nor two, the main targets of these critics did not hesitate to step up. Thus, video game lovers have thrown their wrath on Antoine de Caunes and Mathilde Serrel. Upon learning of the extent that this had taken on the Web, the presenter of the Grand Journal then took the floor on Twitter to apologize, writing: “#Twitch Friends gamers: a lot of bread for games. Sorry to have offended. We’ll be back on Monday”.
#Twitch Gamer friends: lots of breads for games. Sorry to have offended. We’re going back Monday.

In order to calm things down, Antoine de Caunes even offered to play a game of FIFA with the guest of the day, Florent Manaudou. Fault confessed, fault half forgiven?
