After Florence Foresti and Marina Foïs, whose performances were strongly criticized, Canal+ recalled a regular to play the masters of ceremonies on Friday February 25 during the 47th edition of the Césars. Antoine de Caunes will be on his tenth performance, the last dating back to 2013.
“It’s a mixture of stress and pleasure. It’s easier to come back strong from previous experiences, I know where I’m stepping. Even if a lot of things have changed since 2013, in particular the appearance of social networks . But it’s a happy stress because I really want to organize something festive tonight, film-oriented”, says Antoine de Caunes.
“It has to remain entertainment, that is to say a show for the people in the room”

The last two editions have been tainted by controversy: Adèle Haenel leaving the room at the announcement of the victory of Roman Polanski then Corinne Masiero naked and bloody to warn of the difficulties of the world of culture in the midst of a pandemic. “Unfortunately, the film industry, but it’s specific to all walks of life, took the opportunity to settle a few professional scores that did not interest the public, which itself was in great pain. This resulted in not very happy moments”, concludes Antoine de Caunes.
The evening will be dedicated to actor Gaspard Ulliel, who tragically died in January at the age of 37.
