César nominations 2025: Who is the favourite to win France's top cinema award?

The César Academy has announced the nominations for its 50th ceremony and unsurprisingly, this year's top nominees include Le Compte de Monte-Cristo, L'amour ouf and Emilia Pérez. Le Comte de Monte-Cristo, the hugely popular cinematic adaptation of the classic French novel by Alexandre Dumas, scored the most nominations with 14 nods. The film, directed by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de la Patellière, sold nine million tickets in France and stands as one of the favourites this year - especially when it comes to the Best Actor category, which Pierre Niney is the frontrunner for. Behind it is the romantic drama L'Amour ouf (Beating Hearts) with 13, and awards favourite Emilia Pérez with 12 nominations. All eyes will be on Jacques Audiard's Spanish-language musical, which has already won two Palmes, five European Film Awards, four Golden Globes and has beaten the nomination record for a non-English-language film at the Oscars. Elsewhere, five superb films make up the shortlist for Best International Feature: Palme d'Or winner Anora; Euronews Culture's top film of 2024 The Seed of the Sacred Fig; the underrated and freshly Oscar-nominated The Apprentice; the mind-melting The Substance; and last year's Oscar-winning The Zone of Interest. It's worth pointing out that all five films debuted at the Cannes Film Festival. Only one month left to find out who will succeed Justine Triet's Anatomy of a Fall - which won six Césars last year, including Best Film. The 50th César Awards will take place in Paris at the Olympia on 28 February 2025. The ceremony will be presided over by Catherine Deneuve and American actress Julia Roberts will receive this year's honorary César.
