Louis Garrel’s The Innocent has taken a surprise lead in the nominations for the 48th César Awards, which were announced on Wednesday ahead of the ceremony at Olympia concert hall in Paris on February 24.
The drama, which debuted in Cannes, was nominated in 11 categories followed by Dominik Moll’s detective drama The Night Of The 12th with 10 nominations.
Albert Serra’s Pacification and Cedric Klapisch’s Rise both snared nominations in nine categories, followed by Forever Young with seven each.
Garrel stars and directs in The Innocent as a young man who tries to derail his mother’s relationship with a recently released convict, played by Roschdy Zem, in a campaign that will find him flirting with the wrong side of the law.
The Night Of The 12th was among the hot favourites this year. The film also recently triumphed at France’s Lumière awards, winning best film and screenplay.
The film debuted in the Cannes Film Festival’s non-competitive Cannes Première section. Bastien Bouillon stars as a police detective who becomes obsessed with a case involving a complex female murder victim.
Serra’s French Polynesia-set drama Pacification also made its mark at the Lumiere’s winning Best Director, Actor for Benoît Magimal and Best Cinematography for Artur Tort, who are now in the frame for a Cesar.
