“What a pity to…”, at home in Belgium, Virginie Efira was crowned best actress this weekend… but not everything went as planned!

Virginie Efira is everywhere! At 45, the actress from Belgium has become one of the essential faces of the 7^e Art. In France, as in his native country! This Saturday March 4, 2023, while France 2 was broadcasting Papotin meetingswhere the actress confided in her job, her loves, her relationship to fame and other original questions asked by journalists with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorders), the 12^e ceremony of Magritte of cinema, organized in Brussels, gave her the trophy for best actress. A prize rewarding his performance in See Paris againby Alice Winocour and Sophie Breyer, where she plays a survivor of an attack, like the César received for the same role on February 24th.

The latter was also crowned “Best actor” for his role in The night of 12 by Dominik Moll, opposite Benoît Poelvoorde (Inexorable), Jeremy Renier (The enemy), Soufiane Chilah (animals) and Aboubakr Bensaihi (rebel). He had won the César for Best Actor in a Supporting Role. Lukas Dhont, meanwhile, won seven trophies with Close, who had already made an impression on the Croisette at the last Cannes Film Festival, where he won the Grand Prix. This poignant feature film about friendship and responsibility won in the categories “Best Flemish Film”, “Best Supporting Actress” (Emilie Dequenne), “Best Supporting Actor” (Igor Van Dessel), “Best Male Hope” (Eden Dambrine), “Best Original Screenplay or Adaptation”, “Best Image” and “Best Sets”. A shower of rewards! Note also the Magritte of honor offered to the French actress, screenwriter, director and singer Agnès Jaoui to salute her career and her commitment.

A superb evening in which unfortunately Virginie Efira, who was nevertheless one of the queens, could not participate. On her Instagram, she confides in Story: “What a pity not to have been able to be present at the ceremony… Thank you very much for this award! An honor and a joy”. If she does not mention the reasons for her absence, the beauty could well want, quite simply, to ease her foot a little compared to these last rather hectic weeks. Adored by the public and the community, we know she is happy in the arms of Niels Schneider since 2018, met on the set of a film with the paradoxical title, An impossible love. Ultimately, the answer, anyway, is well and good…always love.
