the films “The Animal Kingdom” and “Anatomy of a Fall” are favorites, with 12 and 11 nominations respectively

A competition that promises to be tight. The Animal Kingdom by Thomas Cailley obtained the most nominations for the 2024 César, Wednesday January 14, with a presence in twelve categories. It is closely followed by the film by Justine Triet Anatomy of a fall, selected eleven times. A new tour de force the day after his appointments at the Oscars in Hollywood. In third position, I will always see your faces is selected nine times. The 49th César ceremony will take place on February 23 at the Olympia, in Paris, chaired by Valérie Lermercier.

Three directors, including Justine Triet, are nominated in the category of best director, a trophy which has only been won once in history by a woman, Tonie Marshall for Venus Beauty (institute)…in 2000. Last year, a controversy took place when no film by a female director was nominated in this category.
