Jean-Paul Belmondo scrambled for 40 years with the Caesars
Jean-Paul Bemondo’s story with the Césars has not been a long calm river. The actor remained at odds with the academy for forty years. He resented him for having chosen César rather than his father, the sculptor Paul Belmondo, for the creation of the famous trophy. And Bebel also blamed the Cesars for not having recognized him at the start of his career. “The only prize awarded by an Academy that I would have liked to obtain is that of the Conservatory, I believe that it is now a little late“, he declared in 1989, after having refused to receive the César for best actor for Itinerary of a spoiled child by Claude Lelouch. The quarrel finally ended in 2017 when Jean-Paul Belmondo went to the Césars in 2017 to receive an honorary César. He was moved in front of his daughter Stella and her family.
Honorary Caesar to Cate Blanchett

This great evening of cinema, already eagerly awaited, will be marked by the presence of Cate Blanchett. The 52-year-old Australian actress will receive an honorary Cesar for her career and her commitments,
The actress and producer, who notably won two Oscars in 2005 and 2014 for her roles in The Aviator by Martin Scorsese and Blue Jasmine from Woody Allen, will be presented with the honorary award for his entire career and his personality “absolutely remarkable“, had made known the organizers of the Caesar last December. Cate Blanchett is “a multi-faceted artist, who works in cinema, television, theater“, recalled the Academy of Caesars.
