It was undoubtedly the event of the 48th edition of the César ceremony which took place this Friday, February 24 in Paris.

While Virginie Efira presented the César d'honneur to David Fincher, the actress surprised the audience by calling the American actor from

on stage.

only reinforced the good mood that already reigned over this ceremony, which was off to a good start.

Chaired by Tahar Rahim – a sober and exemplary leader who welcomed all the professions of shadow cinema on stage – this new edition has proven that it knows how to recover from its previous gloomy years.

The evening was not hosted by a master of ceremonies, but by twelve celebrities, from all walks of life.

Thus, we could see Jamel Debbouze launch the show broadcast live with his legendary phlegm and his usual relaxation, addressing the subjects that annoy while making the assembly laugh.

Only Juliette Binoche wanted to gently reframe the actor when he tried to joke about auteur cinema, of which this is a part.

This was followed by an irresistible magneto by Jérôme Commandeur with Valérie Lemercier, Alex Lutz, the famous Catherine and Liliane of Canal +, Amhed Syla and Léa Drucker, who managed to bounce back with talent as an environmental activist appeared on the stage by surprise in full sketch.

In short, Éric Lartigau, artistic director of the evening – the first of the
