An emotional ceremony
The thoughts of all attendees and viewers were obviously with Gaspard Ulliel and his loved ones. His loss left an indelible mark on this ceremony and will be felt by the entire French film industry for a long time to come.
Another loss that marked this year’s Césars was that of Jean-Paul Belmondo. We were very proud to have participated in the beautiful tribute to Jean-Paul Belmondo.
The magnificent and popular actor, whose nickname was Bebel, collaborated with Gaumont on seven timeless films in which he delivered performances no one else ever could: THE BRAIN, GREED IN THE SUN, THE THIEF OF PARIS, THE MARRIED COUPLE OF THE YEAR TWO, COP OR HOOD, LE GUIGNOLO and ACE OF ACES.
A great moment from the event was when Omar Sy celebrated the 10-year anniversary of his César win for The Intouchables.

Another nod goes, obviously, to the teams behind Hold Me Tight and The Accusation, which lit up theater screens in 2021.
