'Nouvelle Vague' Dominates César Nominations, Jim Carrey to Get Lifetime Award

  • On Wednesday in Paris, Richard Linklater's Nouvelle Vague topped the 51st César Awards nominations with 10 nods, announced by Patrick Sobelman and Ariane Toscan du Plantier.
  • Linklater's black-and-white movie world premiered in competition at the Cannes Film Festival and previously won prizes at the Lumiere Awards.
  • Nouvelle Vague earned nominations in Best Director and Best Film plus sound, cinematography, editing, costume and production design, alongside newcomer Guillaume Marbeck and original music.
  • The academy moved the ceremony to February 26 to avoid clashing with a charity event, and winners will be announced at the Olympia concert hall in Paris where Jim Carrey will receive the honorary César this year.
  • Non-French-Language films remain eligible and competitive, with Mustang, The Pianist, Emilia Perez and Sils Maria previously nominated, while Case 137 and Jafar Panahi's It Was Just an Accident reflect political themes.
