Lyna Khoudri spotted at TV series festival in Lille
For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @arabnews.lifestyle
Also known as the International TV Series Festival, Khoudri and her castmates were on hand to promote Apple TV+ show 'Careme.'
'An ambitious, young chef uses his seductive charm to work as a spy so he can save his father — and make his name,' the official logline of the period drama reads. The series is set to land on Apple TV+ on April 30.
It is a biographical series about Antonin Careme, who rose from humble beginnings to become known as the world's first celebrity chef during the Napoleonic era. Careme is played by Cesar Award-winner Benjamin Voisin, who is joined by Cesar Award-winner Khoudri, César Award nominee Jérémie Renier ('My Way,' 'Saint Laurent'),') and Alice Da Luz ('Hanami,' 'And the Party Goes On').
The Cesar Awards are France's reply to Hollywood's Academy Awards.
'Careme' is directed by filmmaker Martin Bourboulon, who also directed Khoudri in Afghanistan evacuation drama '13 Days, 13 Nights,'
The drama, the full title of which is 'In The Hell Of Kabul: 13 Days, 13 Nights,' stars Khoudri alongside Danish BAFTA-winning 'Borgen' star Sidse Babett Knudsen, Roschdy Zem ('Chocolat,' 'Oh Mercy!'), and theater actor Christophe Montenez.
Set against US troops' withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021, as the Taliban marches on Kabul, the film recounts the true story of French Commander Mohamed Bida who oversaw security at the French embassy, which was the last Western mission to remain open.
The film marks a change for Bourboulon after period dramas 'The Three Musketeers – Part II: Milady,' 'The Three Musketeers – Part I: D'Artagnan' and 'Eiffel.'
Khoudri, 32, first rose to prominence in her role as Nedjma in Mounia Meddour's critically acclaimed drama 'Papicha.' For her work in the film, she won the Orizzonti Award for best actress at the 74th Venice Film Festival, and she was nominated in the Cesar Awards' most promising actress category.
Khoudri also starred in the 2019 mini-series 'Les Sauvages' and in 2016's 'Blood on the Docks.'
Notably, she was cast in Wes Anderson's 2021 comedy 'The French Dispatch' alongside Timothee Chalamet, Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, and Owen Wilson.

The Latest: 'Severance' and 'The Studio' Lead Emmy Nominations
Nominations for the Emmy Awards were revealed Tuesday in Los Angeles. Two categories were announced early on CBS Mornings – the nominees for talk series and reality competition series. Actors Harvey Guillen and Brenda Song later announced other nominees. Severance leads the nominees with 27 while The Studio tops the comedy nominations with 23. CBS will air the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sept. 14. Nate Bargatze is slated to host. The Latest: Kendrick Lamar and SNL earn Emmy nominations Both Kendrick Lamars Super Bowl halftime show and the 50th anniversary Saturday Night Live concert earned nominations in the variety special (live) category. They're joined by Netflix's Beyoncé Bowl and rounded out by less musical events: the Oscars and SNL50: The Anniversary Special. Some music documentaries miss Emmy nominations. Questloves Sly Lives! gets nod It could've been a big year for Bruce Springsteen The Beatles and the singular composer John Williams in the documentary or nonfiction categories but they just missed the mark. Though those giants of genre didn't grab nods this year Questloves Sly Lives! (Aka The Burden Of Black Genius) documentary did. Severance leads the field with 27 Emmy nominations. The Studio tops comedy with 23 Severance leads the field with 27 Emmy nominations while The Studio tops comedy nominees with 23 in a dominant year for Apple TV+. Need to catch up? Seasons 1 and 2 of Severance stream on Apple TV+ and would take a total of 15 hours and 29 minutes. The Studio on Apple TV+ has 10 episodes and would take 5 hours and 15 minutes to watch them all. Ashley Walters is a rapper actor and Emmy nominee Supporting actor in a limited series nominee Ashley Walters first made his name in the UK as a rapper in the vast So Solid Crew under the name Asher D – and featured on their iconic hit 21 Seconds in 2001. But the Adolescence star had been acting since way before that and he's had two long-running roles on either side of the law – as drug dealer Dushane in Top Boy and a police officer in British procedural Bulletproof. Where's The White Lotus ensemble? Don't go looking for the ensemble of The White Lotus in the lead acting categories at the Emmys – they're hanging out in the supporting categories. Carrie Coon Parker Posey Natasha Rothwell and Aimee Lou Wood all get a nod as do Walton Goggins Jason Isaacs and Sam monologue Rockwell. Even Scott Glenn is in the running in the guest category for playing Jim Hollinger. But what happened to BLACKPINKs Lisa Tayme Thapthimthong or the Ratliff kids – Patrick Schwarzenegger Sarah Catherine Hook and Sam Nivola? No love either for Coons on-screen frenemies Michelle Monaghan and Leslie Bibb Rockwells real-life partner. Bridget Jones is a TV movie? In the US yes. While Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy was distributed theatrically abroad the latest installment of the Renée Zellweger-starring franchise was directly released on Peacock stateside making it eligible for the Emmys. How this years nominees stack up against record holders Severance leads all nominees with 27 but Game of Thrones still holds the record for most nominations for one show in a season – 32 in 2019. The show did break a record for Apple TV+ – previously Ted Lasso was the streamers most nominated show for one season with 21 nominations in 2023. The Studio though has tied The Bears 2024 record for comedy series with 23. Noah Wyle and Adam Scott compete for Emmy No. 1 Noah Wyle and Adam Scott are TV veterans who've never won an Emmy. They're now considered close co-favorites for best actor in a drama after getting nominations – Wyle for The Pitt and Scott for Severance. It's Wyles sixth nomination. He was up for Emmys five times for playing Dr. John Carter in ER but never won. Now he can get one for playing a very similar character later in life. Scott spent five seasons as a regular on Parks and Recreation but didn't get his first nomination until his starring role on Severance. Does Kathy Bates have a lock on best drama actress? Kathy Bates is considered the runaway front-runner for best actress in a drama. It would be a weird one if she goes on to win for CBS Matlock. She's the first to be nominated in the category from a network show since 2019 when Viola Davis was nominated for ABCs How To Get Away With Murder. She would be the first woman from a network show to win best actress in a drama since 2015 when Davis won and the first actor in any drama category to win since 2017 when Sterling K. Brown won for NBCs This Is Us. It's the 15th time Bates has been nominated. She's won twice before. Nominees for talk and reality competition series are released early Two categories were announced early on CBS Mornings. The nominees for talk series are The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Jimmy Kimmel Live and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The nominees for reality competition series are: The Amazing Race RuPauls Drag Race Survivor Top Chef and The Traitors.

The emmy nominations are here. 'Severance,' 'The white lotus' and 'adolescence' could have a big day
Severance could separate itself from the competition and reach the upper echelons of the Emmy Awards when nominations are announced Tuesday morning. The dystopian workplace drama from Apple TV+ achieved a convergence of acclaim and audience buzz for its second season that often leads to the kind of Emmy dominance enjoyed in recent years by Succession and Shogun. But a flowering of Emmys tends to follow HBO's The White Lotus wherever it goes and HBO Max's newcomer The Pitt could challenge for nominations and for wins when the trophies are handed out in September. All will benefit from the absence of Shogun, which last year led all Emmy nominees with 25 and set a record for wins in a season with 18. Its second season is still in the early stages of production and it shouldn't be around for next years Emmys either. Severance has become a signature show for Apple TV+. The streamer has gotten plenty of Emmy nominations for dramas including The Morning Show and Slow Horses and Ted Lasso was downright dominant on the comedy side. But Apple has lacked the kind of breakaway prestige drama that HBO seems to produce perennially. Adam Scott and Britt Lower are virtual locks for lead acting nominations for what amounted to dual roles as their characters' innie work selves and outie home selves. Tramell Tillman is just as likely to get a nod for playing their tone-shifting pineapple-wielding supervisor and Ben Stiller is bound to get a directing nomination. Severance got 14 nominations for its first season in 2023 but won just two for its music and its title sequence. Nominations will be streamed live beginning at 11:30 a.m. Eastern at The reality competition series and talk series nominees will be announced earlier on CBS Mornings at around 7:45 a.m. Eastern. What else may get 2025 Emmy nomination? Apple TV+'s Hollywood satire The Studio could draw a host of comedy nominations for its first season as it takes on previously dominant Emmy veterans like Hacks and The Bear. The Studio star and co-creator Seth Rogen could get nods for acting, writing, and directing and the shows all-star guest stars including Zoë Kravitz, Martin Scorsese, and Ron Howard may also add some novelty to the nominations. Hacks star Jean Smart has won best lead actress in a comedy for all three previous seasons of the HBO Max series and is the favorite for the fourth. The show won best comedy series last year too. The Bear set a record for comedy nominations with 23 last year for its acclaimed second season. This year its third season is up for Emmys (even though its fourth has already aired). It got a more lukewarm reception leaving its status coming into the nominations murky. The White Lotus, HBO's darkly comic resort drama, submits all the members of its big ensemble cast in supporting categories which they tend to dominate. Its Thailand-set third season included ballyhooed performances from Walton Goggins, Carrie Coon, Parker Posey, and Sam Rockwell among several others. The Pitt, HBO Max's prestige medical procedural starring ER veteran Noah Wyle, had reached the top tier of most prognosticators' Emmy prediction lists by the time its first season ended in April. Wyle, who was nominated five times without a win for ER, could join Scott to make best actor in a drama a two-man race. And the shows other doctors and nurses played by lesser known actors could draw nominations if The White Lotus cast leaves them any room. Last year the British Netflix production Baby Reindeer was surprisingly dominant in the limited series categories. This year it will surprise no one if the Netflix British crime drama Adolescence does the same in the same categories. It was probably the most acclaimed show of the year. Fifteen-year-old Owen Cooper, who plays the 13-year-old accused of a killing at the center of the story, is likely to get one of several acting nominations. How streaming has changed TV and the Emmys? All the shows are living in the splintered world of the streaming era and, like the Oscars, its most acclaimed nominees rarely have the huge audience they once did. While an impressive average of 10 million people per episode watched Wyle on The Pitt at some point on HBO Max, according to Warner Bros. Discovery, 30 years ago an average of 30 million sat down on the same night and watched him on ER on NBC. The broadcast networks have largely become Emmy non-entities with a few shining exceptions. ABC's Abbott Elementary has annually drawn plenty of comedy nominations and should get its share this year. And Oscar-winner Kathy Bates is a front-runner for the best actress in a comedy Emmy for her role on CBS's Matlock. She would be the first person nominated in the category from a network show since 2019 and the first to win it since 2015. CBS will air the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sept. 14. Nate Bargatze is slated to host.
