The sealed envelope was opened by the president of the Academy of Caesar 2021, Véronique Cayla.
Inside, the list of those appointed to this 46th ceremony, troubled by the health crisis, which will take place on March 12, live on Canal +.
Unsurprisingly, there are films released in the fall with 13 quotes for the drama by Emmanuel Mouret
The things we say, the things we do
, before
Adieu les cons
by Albert Dupontel and
Été 85
de Francois Ozon.
Behind,
Antoinette in the Cévennes
by Caroline Vignal collects eight quotes.
However, like every year, names are conspicuous by their absence.
Clear History
, a satirical comedy by Benoît Delépine and Gustave Kervern - with Denis Podalydès, Corinne Masiero, Blanche Gardin - thus only obtained a small place for the César for best original screenplay.
On Twitter, one of the two directors wondered about this large disproportionate gap.
"
Decidedly, we really don't have Caesars
'
heads
."
Shunned by the Academy,
Erasing History
nevertheless seems to have won public favor.
Under Gustave Kervern's post, supportive comments parade.
“
Impossible, there is a bug !!!
», Is astonished the actor Vincent Macaigne, himself nominated for the César for best actor in a supporting role.
Same fate for the film
La Daronne
, directed by Jean-Paul Salomé.
Taken from a novel rewarded in 2017 by the European Thriller Prize, this comedy about drug trafficking with Isabelle Huppert in the key role, is shy in the ranking.
It thus appears in a single category, that of the César for the best adaptation for the novel by Hannelore Cayre.

La Daronne:
Isabelle Huppert astounding
La Daronne
has been totally forgotten.
The most nominated actress in the competition since the start of her career, Isabelle Hupert nevertheless delivered a remarkable performance in this film released last September.
"How is it possible that Isabelle Huppert, who makes an astonishing and delicious composition in
La Daronne,
is not nominated in the best actress category?"
, we exclaim on social networks.
New silent faces
In addition to a very masculine production section this year, which only honors Maïwenn for
DNA
, we also regret the lack of new faces on the side of young directors.
No nomination for
Miss
, the sensational film by Ruben Alves tenderly telling the story of a boy on the verge of becoming a beauty queen.
If Alexandre Wetter, who plays the main character, is among the five nominated for best male hope, his companion Thibault de Montalembert has, for his part, been ousted.
A real man
,
Benjamin Parent's first film dealing with identity disorders in adolescence, also points to absent subscribers.
Adoration
by Fabrice Du Welz,
The Last Life of Simon
by Léo Karmann, or Juliette Binoche for
La Bonne Épouse
, who have disappeared from the rankings, further support the general astonishment.
Note the absence of singer and actor Benjamin Biolay, who shares the poster with Karine Viard for the film
Les Apparences
.
Between luxury, lies and jealousy, the eye of Marc Fitoussi brilliantly captures the tangles of a tormented couple, embodied by the two actors.

... The great forgotten of the Caesar 2020
To end this non-exhaustive list,
Les Parfums
, shot under the direction of Grégory Magne is also missing.
The film, which brought together in front of his camera Emmanuelle Devos and Grégory Montel (Gabriel in the series
Ten percent
), had yet been greeted by critics when it was released.
“Bright”
,
“subtle”, “unexpected”
, so many adjectives that qualified the duo on the screen.
“
Surprising!
», Shall we say rather, this vintage of Caesar 2020.
