César 2025: two major actresses already announced for the 50th ceremony

The César awards recognize the best of French cinema every year. The next ceremony will take place on February 28, 2025. The first names have already been announced.

The César celebrates its 50th anniversary on February 28, 2025. And to celebrate this somewhat special anniversary, the Academy has already announced some big names. This Monday, September 30, we learned in a press release that American actress Julia Roberts will receive an honorary César, rewarding her entire career in Pretty Woman à Erin Brockovich, via Closer, Ocean's Eleven ou Love at first sight &agrave ; Notting Hill. It therefore succeeds ` Agnès Jaoui and Christopher Nolan, who received the equivalent award last year.

This second name announced by the Academy of Césars follows another, and not the least: it will indeed be Catherine Deneuve who will act as president of the ceremony, responsible for opening and closing the evening by presenting the César for Best Film. Let us recall that the actress had been rewarded at the César for Best Actress in twice (in 1981 for The Last Metro and in 1993 for Indochine), for a total of 14 nominations. The films in competition will be announced on Wednesday, January 29, 2025.
