Most Cesar-related stories are today focusing on the surprise nomination for Kristen Stewart in Best Supporting Actress for Clouds of Sils Maria - not surprising that the film has snagged such a nod, given its popularity with voters, but surprising given that she's the first female American actor in 30 years to be up for a Cesar. Bertrand Bonello's Saint Laurent, which received mixed reviews when it premiered last May at Cannes, leads with ten nominations, bolstered by a healthy performance in technical categories. With its mentions for Best Film and Best Director, it comfortably bests fellow YSL biopic, Jalil Lespert's Yves Saint Laurent, which is up for seven. Those two films ought to have the Best Costumes category sewn up between them already. My money for the big prize is on Cannes record-breaker Love at First Fight. A note: the heavyweight Best Foreign Film category could contain two Best Picture Oscar winners, should either Boyhood or The Grand Budapest Hotel win The Academy's top award. The Cesars take place on the 20th of February. Their nominees are featured in full below:
