Justine Triet’s Oscar-nominated Anatomy of a Fall and Thomas Cailley’s fantasy drama The Animal Kingdom are the front runners for this year’s Cesar Awards, France’s equivalent to the Academy Awards. In nominations announced Wednesday, Anatomy picked up 12 Cesar noms and The Animal Kingdom 13. Both were nominated in the best film and best director categories.
Also nominated for best film are Jean-Baptiste Ourand’s Junkyard Dog, All Your Faces from director Jeanne Herry and Benjamin Elalouf’s The Goldman Case.
France’s official Academy Award contender, Anh Hung Tran’s foodie period drama The Taste of Things, which missed out on an Oscar nom on Tuesday, picked up three Ceasar nominations, but none in the main categories.
German actress Sandra Hüller, a surprise best actress nominee at this year’s Oscars for her starring turn in Anatomy of a Fall is also up for the Cesar for best actress, going up against Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard, nominated for Little Girl Blue, Lea Drucker, up for Last Summer, Hafsia Herzi, nominated for The Rapture, and Belgian actress Virginie Efira, nominated for her performances in Just the Two of Us.
The 2024 Cesar Awards will be handed out at a ceremony in Paris on Friday, Feb. 23.
